"Where Did It Go?"

Well, here we are at the end of February.  I can honestly say I agree that time flies by as you get older.  I can hardly believe that Jackson is almost 2 years old.  That is crazy!!!  It seems as though he does something new everyday.  On Friday, February 24, he said something that sounded like his first phrase.  He was busy taking Queenie's dog food into his room and putting them on the four posts of his bed.  Queenie would go behind him and steal the food back.  He would then come back in his room to find the dog food missing.  He came out of his room and put his hands up and shrugged saying "Where did it go?"  It was absolutely hilarious.  I think he said that phrase (our his version of that phrase) a thousand times before the day was over.  He is beginning to play more independently with is toys and does well entertaining himself for short periods of time.  He has started enjoying playing with puzzles and pushes his tractors all around the house.  The other day he was standing near Queenie's food bowl and signaling to us that it was empty.  He went to the washing machine and pointed up at the container where we keep her food.  So, I got some food out and then he went and pointed at Queenie's bowl.  If one of us goes and gets the ironing board out, he immediately goes to the laundry room and points up at the iron.  We take the iron and the he goes back to the ironing board and points for us to put it on the ironing board.  He has discovered how to come and crawl in the bed with us in the middle of the night.  The funny part about that is when he climbs in, Queenie can't get out of the room fast enough.  He has started wearing 3T shirts because the 2T shirts are too short.  I have included a couple of pictures from the past few weeks.
