Fun October Things

It has been an extremely busy month and Jackson keeps trying new things and showing us new tricks! Not only can he sign "more," but he also knows "all done!" This is pretty helpful during meals :) He is just starting to blow kisses, which is super cute!

My mom and grandma were supervising bath time in Evanston and Jackson stole his Nan's favorite job of combing his hair! We had given him his comb as a distraction while I diapered and lotioned, and he started combing his hair! As cute as that was, the really funny part is that he will use almost anything as a comb! A fork, a Q-tip, a block, pretty much anything! My mom gave him a fun phone that talks and makes sounds, but Jackson loved picking up the hand piece and babbling into it as if he were talking to someone! He has always LOVED our phones, but he gets that he can chat into his own little phone :)

We have these awesome shelves in Jackson's room. We inherited them in our last house and they look perfect in Jackson's room above the changing table. The only problem is that Jackson thinks everything on them is for his entertainment... He knocked over the little cup of Q-tips I keep up there and once they were all on the changing pad, he started putting one or two back in the cup. So helpful! He really is enjoying putting things IN things, including puffs into whatever bowl I'm holding at dinner. Sometimes he just wants to dip it, but other times he leaves it in there. What a weirdo! LOL On a related note, he has started really sharing! The other day, he was playing with one of his trucks and he brought another truck over to James and offered it up. So sweet! He also tried to offer a dog toy to Paxton while they were lying on the rug together. Such a nice brother :)

Yesterday Jackson took his first steps!!! I got to see them in the morning, and Josh once he got home from work! It's about three or four at a time, but he definitely did it! Now, it's just a matter of him WANTING to do it...

We are enjoying a quiet weekend of family time. We are also working on getting rid of this wicked diaper rash Jackson suddenly developed on Wednesday! Poor little guy! We've been letting him "air out," which has been quite funny! I don't think he knows the difference, but it's so cute seeing him crawl around that way. We've only had one "accident." Maybe he's potty trained? ;)
