Oh our little Jack-Jack makes us laugh! He is so full of personality and is hilarious. He loves to do whatever Tanner does and is sure that he should be able to climb and jump just the same. Now we have to watch what Tanner climbs on because Jackson will be right behind him. He is still such a sweet little snuggle babe and will tuck his little arms in and put his head right on your shoulder. He will still do this to just about anyone. He loves to be noticed and talked to. Usually if it is someone new he will wait for them to notice him, once they do he smiles, pulls on his shirt, and then covers his face with his hands and runs to me. He gets a little embarrassed. Along with all this sweetness there is surely a spunky side. He still has the art of back arching down to a science and will spunk to let you know when things are not going right. If he is in the other room he will come to get me and take me to the problem. Here are some other things about Jackson that we love...

1. Loves balls. He can say it and if he sees one he HAS to have it.

2. Loves animals . If there is an animal around he has to be right by it. At Tanners swim lessons there is a little dog that sometimes comes out of the house and when it does it is impossible to keep Jackson away. When we were at my mom's house he was trying to carry a cat around the entire time. It was rather funny because he is not that much bigger than her cats. The only problem with his love for animals is that he seems to be allergic to cats and dogs.

3. Loves his kitty. He has a little stuffed animal kitty and he LOVES it. He has to carry it around and gives it lots and lots of hugs and kisses.

4. Books. I have been trying to get him to love books and all of a sudden he does. I will find him laying on the floor in his room looking through books.

5. Funny faces. He has the sweetest smile that makes all of us kiss him immediately and the funniest pouty face where he sticks his lower jaw out. Along with this funny face is a very fake cry.

6. Keep away. I am not sure where he learned this, I guess it just comes with having an older sibling, but he loves to torment Tanner with keep away. He will grab what ever Tanner is playing with and then will hold it out to him like he is giving it back, but will quickly pull it right back to his side. I am hoping that this is just a phase, so is Tanner. Needless to say we have lots of tears on both sides from this "game."

7. Tanner. This is definitely Jackson's best friend. He can make him laugh with just about anything. He sticks right by him and loves to be included in his games.

Words: Ball, Tanner, Diego (of course) he even sings it at the right time on the song, Mom, Da Da. Understands EVERYTHING.
