At 17 months, Jackson is so much fun!!!
Here's what he's doing:
- sleeps about 12 hours a night (8 pm to 8 am)
- usually takes 2 naps a day (an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon)
- isn't eating quite as much as he did a couple of months ago and has become more picky
- favorite foods: any bread, banana, grapes, any fruit, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese quesadillas, pasta, baked potatoes, waffles, Greek yogurt, applesauce
- doesn't like meat like grilled chicken but will eat hot dogs and lunch meat
- until this past week he was taking a bottle of milk at night before bed
- LOVES water- washing his hands, taking a bath (prefers it with the water running), playing in the ocean, playing in the pool, playing with the hose, shaking water out of a water bottle
- favorite books- Pat the Bunny (loves to wave at Paul and Judy on the last page); Curious George on the Go; Jesus Loves Me
- loves being held and flipping light switches on and off
- says quack ("uack") when he sees a duck; says truck ("uck")
- crawls everywhere, cruises along furniture, pushes his walker all over the house
- loves music in all of his toys and plays them over and over
- loves to clap, smile, laugh
- laughs when he farts and when other people sneeze
- loves pulling off sunglasses and glasses off of people
- when he is really happy, he makes this wonderful sound that sounds like a purr (definitely mommy's favorite sound)
- enjoys opening and closing doors over and over
- waves at everyone and everything (We can be sitting in the rocker in his room and hear a truck drive by and he will start waving.)
- when you say, "Yummy to your tummy," he rubs his tummy.
I love you soooo much! I can't imagine life without your sweet smile. Every day I spend with you makes me love you that much more. I love that you love being with mama. You are mama's boy right now, and I will take that as long as I can get it!!!
I love you to the moon and back.
~ Mommy
