Personality Plus

Jackson has so much personality right now. It amazes me how he is becoming a little independent thinker...knowing what he wants or doesn't want or where he wants to be. Sometimes he just cracks me up. Some of his favorite things right now are:

1. Army Crawling EVERYWHERE! And pulling himself up to anything in his reach.
2. His little pincher fingers...he likes to pinch and poke at everything and then test it out in his mouth, which sometimes can be a little discusting.
3. He loves to bounce. If we hold him under his arms and let him push with his feet he will bounce up and down forever...if only we could last that long!
4. He loves making cHeEsY SmiLeS at people. In church yesterday anyone he could catch eyes with he would just grin his cheesy smile and then give a little squeak. It made for some laughs and two embarassed parents.
5. He literally runs if we hold his hands and let him take off.
6. He makes babbles, blows spit, and blows air between his lips to make them viberate. He makes noises like E.T. or some star wars character.
7. At night before we lay him down for bed we read him a story. Now you might think he is too little, but he lays there and stares and then quietly falls alseep after we leave the room.
8. He loves to have his head buried...into a blanket or into a stuffed animal etc. He has loved this since he was born, but he is not a snuggler! He wants to be out of your arms or facing completely forward if you are carrying him
9. Arms spread straight out and grasping, with some squealing.
10. He loves the tags on all his toys etc.
