A Year and a Half



Jackson is 18 months old today! At his checkup this morning he weighed in at 29.2 lbs (75th-90th percentile) and measured 35 inches tall (95th percentile). He's gone from merely walking to running - as fast as he can - in the past few weeks. He's also mastered the art of climbing. It's not unusual to walk into the kitchen and find him standing on top of the table. Yikes! That's a little frightening for mommy & daddy! He isn't fond of sitting still in his high chair for too long during meals, but he thoroughly enjoys climbing in and out of it on his own many times a day. He loves playing with balls and has even started kicking them now. It's so cute to see him back up and get a running start! He's not much of a talker yet, but we hear the words dog, cat, duck, book, hot, ball, bubble, balloon, daddy (and sometimes even mommy!) lots of times during the day. Jackson is full of smiles for everyone we pass at the grocery store and is very curious about everything he sees. He loves music and stops to dance whenever he hears it!

Life with Jackson is, in a nutshell, FUN...and sometimes a little challenging! Thank you, Lord, for this amazing blessing!

Jackson Paul telling us how old he is (even though it looks like he's getting ready to pick his nose!)

Hi Jill. Hey, that sign of Jackson being 18 months old is at a Baptist church!?

It's not a "real" church sign. It's something I found online. But I thought it was cool! You can choose a church sign and have it say whatever you want!
