11 months


Jackson is 11 months ... just one month away from turning one - where did the time go! Our baby is not a baby anymore! He's walking, talking, and getting into everything! He has changed so much in the past year, but he's still the same happy, smiley baby we've always loved.



He still loves eating fruit and veggies more than anything else. Bananas, Grapes, Blueberries & Watermelon are this guy's favorites! He also eats asparagus, peas, carrots, and corn. Just this week he tried strawberries though and was in heaven! He's getting better about eating other foods though, he also eats yogurt, bread & peanut butter, chicken, turkey, pasta and the occasional cracker.



He is a walker! In the past two weeks he's transformed from a baby who is taking steps to a walker. He now walks more than he crawls and can even stand up from a sitting position, without pulling himself on anything.

He claps, waves and gives high fives and always gets a big grin when he performs his new tricks.


He says hi or hey constantly! He's shy for the first 30 seconds after meeting someone new, but then will start smiling and saying hi to them. He is such a happy baby and LOVES going on walks, going shopping, going to Disney - anywhere where he can see new people. He's a pretty social guy just like Tyler :-)

Speaking of Ty, the next word he's learned is Daddy! I've been hearing him say it for a while now, but Tyler finally admits that he hears it too. It's a little different because it sounds more like "addy" than "dada" but he's starting to add that "d" sound on the front, so there is no denying who he's talking about!

He loves giving hugs and kisses! I am the lucky recipient of most of these, but he also loves other babies, stuffed animals, pictures of babies, and his reflection in the mirror (or dishwasher).


When he walks to me and I'm sitting on the ground, he'll always do a nose dive into me at the end and then start kissing me... it's pretty dang cute :-)


He loves reading books. When he gets up to his room he will just sit and page through his books





He gets into evvverything. He loves to open drawers, cabinets, and doors - if there is any new box or bag on the ground he notices it immediately and goes over to investigate.





Love our baby boy :-)
