Jackson at 18-22 months
- You are slowly getting better at eating regular food. Some days you do awesome and some days you could care less about "real" food.
- (sadly) you already love and recognize McDonalds (you dad and I got a little excited when you actually ate 2 chicken nuggets and not just baby food for dinner)
- You will sometimes (if your in the mood) eat an almond butter + jelly sandwich (your allergic to peanuts), grilled cheese sandwiches, french toast, and whatever we're having for dinner (if we can actually get you to try it)
- Your main diet most days is filled with yogurt, cheese, fruit, cereal, and bread.
- You LOVE fruit... pretty much any piece of fruit, but your favorite is grapes.
- You love pretty much any snack food or cereal
- If you're feeling outgoing you will randomly say hi to people.
- Your favorite word and toy is ball.
- Sesame Street, Baby Einstein, and Barney are shows you like to watch.
- You LOVE books... especially if they have animals, people and Sesame Street characters.
- When we ask you a question and the answer's yes you nod your head and give this little sound "uhhh"... no.... you shake your head.
- You love the park... especially if it has sand to play in... and the pool
- Every time we've gone to the beach (all of 2-3 times), you've been totally enamoured with all the sand and water (a mix of your two favorite things)
- You love Disneyland... on your first trip you never got scared (except for the characters) and were excited and pointing at everything!
- You love being around other kids.
- You love to color
- You're very curious and pretty social... if it's a small group or one on one you'll usually go right up to kids your age.
- You love giving hugs to other kids (although they don't always want hugs:))
- You react so much to music... every time you hear an upbeat song you start dancing and smiling.
- You imitate everything! If I sigh out of frustration, you sigh, if we say a word you think is funny, you'll try to attempt to say it... some words off the the top of my head... "ridiculous," "alright," and "humongous" (from a Sesame Street episode)
- If you can't find me, you walk around the house calling out "moooooomm, mooooommm!"
- You HATE going to bed and start crying and shaking your head the moment I say "time for bed"
- You love all sweets
- You're allergic to peanuts
- You have a special bond with daddy and LOVE to play anything with him.
- When you fall or get hurt you look for mom for some sympathy.
- You're becoming very independent and will push us away when you want to do something by yourself.
- You're super cuddly and affectionate... you give us lots of hugs and kisses throughout the day. When we're out shopping you'll randomly touch my face, smile and cuddle into me... which absolutely melts my heart and I always soak it all in (since I KNOW one day you'll be too embarrassed/ too big for giving hugs and kisses to mom).
- Lately, one of the 1st things you say when you wake up is, "I eat!" Other phrases I can think of... I touch it... (used as a question of whether you can touch something or letting us know you touched something... sometimes something we told you not to touch), I shoot it (for basketball, although it sounds a lot more like a certain 4 letter words, which your dad and I find pretty amusing)
- Lately you've been pointing to items and saying "mommy's" or "daddy's"
- When mom or dad walk through the door after being gone you say, "Moooooooommy" or "Daaaaaaaddy" in a high cute voice
- You love putting on your socks and shoes (and daddy's and mommy's shoes as well...)
- Your favorite toys are blocks, your barn, bat, plastic golf clubs, any ball, basketball hoop, cars, and books, books, books.
- You are fascinated with letters and know pretty much all of them (you get a little confused with M and W).
