What's Up?

Jackson in constantly changing and learning new things each day. He is now 2 years and 4 months old. Although I get asked a regular basis if he is 3 years old.

Jackson, you are still around 34-35 pounds and wear 2T-4T clothes. Your favorite breakfast right now is Cheerios with strawberries, bananas, or raisins in them or apple cinnamon oatmeal. For lunch you request a grilled cheese sandwich at least 4 days of the week. You love getting to have a few drinks of root beer as a treat for going potty!
You are officially potty trained! This makes mommy so happy and makes you seem so much older to me. You take a nap in your undies but sleep with a diaper on at night even though you wake up dry most mornings. You still use your pacifier at nap and bed time. You take one nap a day. You go down at 2 o'clock and sleep until 4 or 5 o'clock. We have finally moved to a point where we pray and sing with you, then walk away, and you go to sleep by yourself! You must have your Bible next to you in bed to go to sleep. You have started sleeping in a bit this summer. You wake up anywhere from 7-8:30. Mommy loves that you let her sleep in too!
You love to sing and know quite a few songs, most are kid or Bible songs but you do know some praise and worship songs that Daddy sings to you at night. You have learned your first Bible verse; Matthew 22:37. You have become quite the swimmer. You have improved so much from your first lesson with Kylie.


You pick things up very quickly. You consistently know 20 of your letters, confusing M and W and U and N. You love playing "games" on Starfall and request it at least once a day. As for shapes, you know circle, square, triangle, heart, star, and sometimes rectangle. You also love to color, cut, and glue.

You laugh all the time, but you are know catching on to jokes we make and fun parts in movies. I still can't get enough of your laugh. Your favorite movies are Mickey's Clubhouse, Cars, John Deere tractors, and Madagascar.




You have really gotten into pretend play even more than ever. You are often going to work, school, riding in the bus or on the train, talking on the phone, cooking, or working out! You play by yourself but would much rather have us play with you. You are still happiest outside playing or swimming in the pool but you have taken to your toys more and sometimes just want to stay inside to play. You have mastered jumping on two feet, galloping, and the forward roll at Little Gym. Your throw and golf swing have improved drastically and for that Daddy is thankful.:) You follow directions pretty well but can be very sassy towards your Mommy and Daddy. You hate getting ready to go somewhere. It is usually a daily battle to get you dressed and out the door on time, but once you are dressed we have no issue.


Jackson, I am so glad I get to spend every day with you during the summer. I love watching you grow and learn! I thank God daily for blessing my life with you!

Love, Mommy
