Friends

Don't get my wrong, I loved Jackson when he was a baby more than I thought possible. But, now that he's interactive, and playful, and imaginative I can barely stand it. He's so much fun now. Here he is playing with his friends. I guess they were hungry because he is feeding them in his high chair.

Jackson's brain development amazes me more and more each day. Yesterday when I started reciting a book he likes, he walked across the room, picked up the correct book, and brought it to me. When I tell him it's time to brush his teeth, he walks to the bathroom and when I ask him if he needs a clean diaper, he walked to his room. I know this is probably normal for a 1 year old, but it still amazes me watching his brain develop and seeing how he understands so much that's going on. He always is trying to copy our words now. He tried to say drawer the other day...too cute. His current favorite word is door.

Oh yeah, and he's obsessed with cleaning and wiping. If he gets his hands on a towel or napkin, he walks around wiping things. This morning after breakfast he "cleaned" the dishwasher, a cabinet, and a spot on the floor.
