All things Jackson- 15 months old

Our boy is 15 months old already! I feel like Jack has grown up so much in the last 2 months or so. He is changing, growing, and learning so fast, it's crazy! He had his 10th haircut last week and this time it was a big boy haircut. We love his shaggy hair but it grows so fast that he was ready for another haircut only 3 weeks after the previous cut. His new do makes him look so grown up and while I miss his hair, I love his new cut as well. :)

Jackson had his 15 month check up last week as well. He has started to remember the exam rooms. He hasn't had to go to the Dr except for his check ups so he must remember his 1 year check up. He was happy and playing and being friendly in the waiting room and as we walked back to the exam rooms, but as the nurse guided him to the room he quickly turned around and tried to escape. When we brought him back into the room he got a little upset but didn't freak out. Jack weighs in at 25 1/2 lbs and is 331/4in long. Oh, and if you are wondering, yes he still has a big head. :o) His head has never been lower then the 95 percentile. Jackson's Dr was very pleased with his development and he even showed off some of his new tricks like identifying body parts, saying words, etc.  Once Dr. Corso was done doing her part the nurse came in with that evil blue tray and Jackson recognized it right off the bat and began to cling to me and get upset. He handled his shots like a champ but freaked out a little before she even touched him.

Jackson has learned to say about 20 words now and his first phrase, if you don't count "all done" was "Go go Ducks", or "go go dus!" Marty is so proud. :o) As you saw in a previous blog, he loves airplanes and all things with wheels for that matter. He went through a stage where he wasn't as into books but has passed that and loves reading again. I can ask him to bring me a book and he will go pick one out and then come sit on my lap. One of his favorite books is, "Goodnight Moon" and there are two parts that talk about the old lady whispering "hush" if we pause before saying hush he will say, "shhhhhhh." It's pretty cute. He is good about following other basic instructions like "Bring me the... " or "Where is the..." as well. It's amazing how fast they learn and pick up on things, we have loved each new stage in his life and feel so blessed that we GET to be his Mama and Dada. 

Thanks for letting me brag a little. Every Mama has to every once in awhile. :)

Jackson insists on feeding himself everything now. He has been feeding himself for quite some time but we were still "helping" with messy foods like yogurt, oatmeal, etc. He is doing a really good job of doing it all by himself though.
