Dear Jackson....

Dear Jackson,
You have grown so much in this last month. Every month, I think that you can't get any sweeter, cuter, and have more personality. You most definitely can!!!

You are so curious and want to explore and examine everything you pick up. You think it is hilarious when we "drive" the cars over your back and head. You LOVE your walker that Daddy bought you for Christmas. You have this look of, "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!" You enjoy jamming out on your piano and dancing. You still can sit and read for a long time and even enjoy reading by yourself with your little books. (I don't have the heart to tell you that sometimes they are upside down)

Bath time is your absolute favorite time of the day. We will be playing in the living room and Daddy will turn on the water and you take off towards the bathroom.

Sadly, you are having a hard time with 4 teeth coming in on the top of your mouth. You are ready for this pain to be over with. On Friday, we had to take you to the doctor. I knew something wasn't right. Sure enough, you had an ear infection and a cold. :( You are still a happy baby during the day, but taking naps and sleeping is hard because of your stuffy nose. However, you do love your bubble gum medicine.

You absolutely love going on strolls outside in your umbrella stroller. Life is good when you are on the go! (You let out a little exclamation when we stop the stroller)

Recapping on Christmas. You loved the ribbon and got into ripping the paper. It was overwhelming at times, but you loved the colors on the paper.

Mommy and Daddy enjoy reading your blessings to you at night and pray that one day you will actually ask for us to pray blessings over you. You are a special child of God and we love you so much!

I still can't believe that in 3 months you will turn 1 year old! I DO LOOK FORWARD TO MORE SLEEP AT NIGHT. Since January 3rd, you have figured out how to put yourself back to sleep at night. (FINALLY) and do not need us as much. Last night, you went to sleep at 8pm and didn't officially wake up until 8pm. I hope it is not the sickness helping you sleep. I hope you are realizing that sleep is AWESOME!! :)

Well, I think we will eat some breakfast now. Until next time.....

Love you,
Mommy
