Watch Me Walk!!

Jackson learned how to stand up by himself last night (without using furniture or anything else to get up), and it was only a matter of minutes before he just started walking!! And he hasn't stopped since...he has been practicing all day!

Guess What I Can Do!

I walked 10 steps in a row tonight!!

I don't say any words yet (unless you count "dada," but since I say it all the time about everything, Mommy and Daddy aren't so sure I know what it means), but I can make sounds like a monkey, a cow, a horse, and a dog! And I can point to my ears and my belly!

For a while now, I have been able to climb a whole flight of stairs all by myself, and you should see me go- I'm pretty fast! I have four teeth now (well, 3 1/2 to be exact). I love to push my walker, stack my shapes and blocks and sometimes even my carrots, chase Tug's tail, and be thrown in the air by Daddy! And when I hear music, I sway back and forth to the beat!

12 Month Check-Up

Jackson had his 12 month check-up today. He is now 28 1/4 inches long and weighs 17 pounds (half a pound up from last month...he probably would have gained even more if it weren't for the ear infection he had a few weeks ago that significantly decreased his appetite). The doctor wants to see us again in a month for another weight check, but he says Jackson is doing well for now. Jackson's appetite has increased over the last couple of weeks. We hope that it continues and that he gains even more next month!

On a side note: Jackson is very close to walking! He stands up by himself and concentrates really hard on taking a step! He has taken a step or two on several occasions, but that's as far as he goes for now. We're looking forward to him walking and talking as he begins his second year of life.
