19 Months

I figured I'd better do a quick 19 month post before Jackson moves on to 20 months.

This has been a big month of achievements!  Lots of calling out for "Mama!" and very much in an attachment phase for mama only (which can make dropping off for MDO, church nursery, Bible study nursery, quite the traumatic event for him).

Actively and always using his sign language for "eat," "more," "all done."  It's nice.  It cuts down on the whining, as he can get his point across a little more clearly.

Cutting bottom incisors.  Ouch.  Lots of drooling and occasional whiny days.  I'm sure it hurts like the dickens.  (What does that phrase even mean?)

I think he enjoyed Cocina Superior's refried black beans

Still very funny, quite the ham (is this an ancient phrase as well? Who determined that hams are funny?), always trying to make us laugh, giggling often himself.  Love it.

He'll imitate my hand motions in the car when we sing "This little light of mine," and "Joy joy joy down in my heart."  We even touch "lights" (our pointer fingers), he giggles, then I giggle.  Love these days with my boy.

Still loves to read and be read to.

Still plays with cars, choo choos, all the time.

A big helper in throwing things away, including things that don't need to be thrown away.

Will occasionally pick up dirty clothes off the floor and put in dirty clothes bin (one day I found a dirty pair of underwear in my clean underwear drawer.  Such a helper...).

Loves organizing, and he's very intentional about it.  Pays close attention to all detail.  Still very observant (but when has he not been?  he doesn't miss a trick).

Points to any and every moving vehicle in the sky.  Loves all things choo choo (trains), cars, trucks, airplanes.

Loves to dance, sing "Row Row," tackle Daddy, help wipe up spills, and is still very particular about dirt on his hands.  Oh, and did I mention we think he'll be a lefty? 

I have been bad about taking pictures this month, hence the lack of photos.  But, I've been enjoying my time with Jackson that I'm given.

Some delicious dessert recipes to come soon :)  Happy Nesting!!
