11 Months Old!

Jackson is 11 months old today...my head is spinning when I stop and think about that statement.  Where in the world did the time go?  I know my head will be spinning even faster when he turns 18 years old.  What is Jackson up to these days?

• He is crawling all over the place and pulling up on anything that stands still.
• He loves the kitchen - an excellent place to explore drawers, cabinets, the dishwasher, and of course all the rubbermaid and tupperware products.
• He is recovering from his first ear infection (his right ear) and eye infection.  When we visited the doctor, he weighs 26 lbs.
• He is "talking" more and more.
• We are officially in a size 4 diaper and still wearing size 24 month clothes.
• He has three teeth...one on top and two on bottom.
• He is still eating baby food but we have introduced several different table foods.  We are getting ready to introduce him to whole milk and try to incorporate a sippy cup.  However, our obstacle at the moment is that he doesn't want to hold a bottom for himself.
• He loves Gerber cookies.
• He has been out to eat at several different restaurants so far and had an awesome time!  He was absolutely wonderful.  He enjoyed smiling and the waitresses and making faces at the waiters.

We are in the planning stages of his 1st birthday party.  We aren't going to do a particular theme this year.  We are going to just have a fun birthday party with lots of food, family, friends and fun times.  We will probably be using a more focused theme for his second birthday.

Here are some pictures from today:
