Where Did it All Go?

Where in the world did the month of July go?!?!  We have been so busy that time has flown by so fast my head is spinning.  We spent the Fourth of July in Atmore.  Jackson and I took a day trip over to Gulf Shores to see Uncle Rex and Aunt Glyn.  We spent several days of the month in Atmore visiting.  We also made a trip to Watersound Beach to spend several days with Uncle David, Aunt Kathleen and Sara.  All the days in between we have spent at home running errands, doing chores, and swimming in the pool.

What is Jackson up to these days?

•  He has learned what the words juice, Cheerios, Queenie, no, and go in the car mean.  He gets so excited when we ask if he wants juice or Cheerios.  He goes to the pantry door for Cheerios and kitchen for juice.  When we say something about Queenie, he will start squealing and go to our bedroom (since that is where she hangs out about 99% of the time).  He shares his Cheerios with her also.
• He is a world class traveler.  We have probably traveled a little over 3,000 miles since the start of the summer.  He does great in the car.
• One of his favorite places to play is in the kitchen - near the Tupperware and pots/pans.  The more noise he can make the better.
• He is eating mostly table food now.  I have to grind it up in the grinder because he still only has 4 teeth - 2 on top and 2 on bottom in the front.  However, we can see some trying to come through.
• He moved up to a number 5 diaper and is still wearing 18 to 24 month clothes - mostly 24 months and some 2Ts.
• He isn't sleeping through the night anymore.  He is getting up 3 and 4 times a night.
• He LOVES the water.  He has enjoyed all trip to the pool, his backyard pool, and the ocean.  He gets so excited.  And bath time is so much fun!!
