New Tooth

Jackson’s other lower tooth is coming in!

GI Joe

Well, our little man is really getting around now. He’s not crawling yet, he’s scooting around with his tummy still on the ground- like he’s a soldier trying to stay low. And the boy can move FAST!!! Ms. Tara at daycare said she’ll be changing a diaper and when she gets done she’ll turn around and can’t find Jackson! She said that he gets behind the rocker, under the cribs, under his crib behind his carseat- everywhere! Yesterday when I picked him up Ms. Kay said that he was scooting all over and would come to a “speed bump” (toys that he’s left on the floor) and would scoot half way over them and get stuck. He’d start making a sort of growling noise at them until someone came to move the “speed bump” and then he’d be on his merry way again. Then he’d scoot along until he would get himself wedged under something- like the floor bouncer holding the new 6 week old baby- and then he’d scream real loud until someone got him out. They said he’s just too funny! At home he scoots around and goes straight for the wood things and metal things- it’s like he knows what he shouldn’t be going towards and goes straight for it. So, needless to say, he has to be watched CONSTANTLY. The dogs seem to be a little confused that he can follow them now when they move away. J

Jackson’s also got some of the older girls in the palm of his hands!

One of the teachers in one of the toddler rooms absolutely LOVES Jackson and comes to see him all of the time and yesterday the Director of the Center told me that she has been spending her lunch breaks with Jackson- just sitting in the floor playing with him and holding him. The Director said that she says “I just love him!” Boy does that make a mommy feel good!!
