Playing and Talking

Things that Jackson LOVES to do!


Here are some of the things that Jackson says (and what they mean!):


Mama
Dada
Daw (dog)
Duh (duck)
Bur (bird, or anything flying in the sky--an airplane, helicopter, etc.)
Ba or Bo (either bird, book, or balloon or ball depending on what he's pointing to)
Baa (bad--usually referring to our cat, who acts out a lot!)
Ca (cat)
Mo (either Nemo or Elmo)
chew (shoes or juice)
Bye and Bye-Bye
Hey


He understands everything we say--if you ask him where the lights are, he'll point up to the lights on the ceiling. He can identify anything we ask him to--cups, balls, specific people, anything! He HATES the word no and has little tantrums if he's told no or stop. He loves music and dancing, loves his grandparents and uncles, and especially his mommy and daddy!

Jackson, just yesterday, took his first 3 unassisted steps! He hasnt done it again, but it's a start! He'd walk all day long if he could hold our fingers, so Iknow he'll be running around soon enough!

Of course, I just think he's exceptionally intelligent, but I think I might be a bit biased! :)


Pretending to talk on Mommy's cell phone...





Pretend eating with his spoon and stacking cups...

Jamming to the music...

St. Patrick's Day 2007



Brian is on the St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee so he and Jackson were in the parade this year! The crowds were crazy--because the parade and St. Pat's Day were on a Saturday larger than usual crowds were expected. An estimated 700,000 people were in Savannah over the weekend!



We visited the Georgia Aquarium a couple of weeks ago and Jackson LOVED the fish! He had a blast watching them swim by. Of course, on the drive home, we had to watch Finding Nemo about 4 times!
