Mr. Wiggles!

It's official!  Jackson wants to be everywhere and do everything!!  He is surprising us everyday with something new; rolling a new direction, turning in circles, pushing to a stand, reaching out farther, etc.  This is very exciting, but also sad for Mommy and Daddy...there are times he doesn't want to be held and will wiggle until he gets down off our laps.  And if we resist and keep him in our laps, he is not above throwing a tantrum to communicate that he is not happy with us at the moment.  He has also knocked down the video monitor on his crib on multiply occasions as he likes to kick both legs against the crib/mattress to hear the thump, thump!  I think we are about to have our hands full!!!

Look Ma, No Hands!!

Jackson is a decent little eater, too.  He eats 3 full meals a day of fruit, grains, fruit, grains, fruit, dairy and if we are lucky, veggies (meaning only peas) and protein (meaning only beans).  He is a lover of all fruits, but has had some trouble expanding his pallet beyond much else.  The following pictures were the result of one tired little boy eating his black beans which he doesn't care for too much.  Normally, we can walk away from the table with basically a clean face, but when fatigue causes you to rub your eyes in between every bite, we were not as lucky...
