So I haven't figured out how to work this thing yet. I was planning to show pictures of all of our summer adventures so far, but I can't figure out how to get the pictures where I want them. Instead, I just added one that shows Jaxon's true personality and then, decided I will just list all the things I love about him. I could talk about him nonstop. I try to limit my Jaxon talk a little so I don't completely annoy the people around me, but that is exactly what this blog is for. If you're getting annoyed, just stop reading.
I love the way Jaxon...
- giggles. It is contagious. He has a deep, belly laugh when you tickle him, make funny faces, pretend your dropping him, plays with the dogs....
- gives kisses with a smoochie sound effect. He kisses everyone - mama, daddy, friends, the pets, characters in books, mirrors, strangers at the park....
- brings you book after book all day long.
- repeats some of the words with you in books.
- sits by himself and pretends to read.
- yells his dad's name from the other room just to say hi!
- blows bubbles in any water - bathtub, pool, water table, puddle on the sidewalk...
- claps when he hears people clapping on TV. We watch a lot of game shows around here!
- turns on his own music and turns off the light when it is time for bed. Then, he frantically begins pointing at books, the rocking chair, or the door - anything to keep you from putting him in the crib, but then, he usually falls right to sleep without a tear .....no later than 7:00.
- plays fetch and tug with Blue.
- splashes water on Blue and Harley when we are outside, and then laughs and laughs.
- yells Blue's name whenever he starts to bark. He copies everything you do so be careful!
- loves shoes. He'll bring you random shoes to put on him or he tries to wear yours.
- picks up a bag and walks to the door waving bye!
- talks. I think he says a new word everyday!
- can find a ball anywhere! He points to them in books, magazines, on the TV, at the grocery store, in the produce section, out the window - everywhere, all day long! It's great!
- loves to be outside - in the pool, at the park, on the porch, on a walk in the stoller or on his bike...he always points to the window, says "out", and tries to turn the door knob!
- finds random things like lint, cherrios, sunflower seeds, etc. on the floor and brings them to you. He knows he shouldn't have them.
- sits nicely in my lap at storytime while most of the other kids wonder around playing. He does not get up until she brings out the toys!
- dances when he hears music and recognizes his favorite songs.
- remembers and imitates everything!
- likes to play with the mop and broom. I am hoping this one sticks!
- says "three" when he wants you to do something again. This is because when I count to 3 fun things happen on 3.
- perseveres. Even if he falls or gets hurt, he gets up and tries it again.
- has an adorable, devilish smile when he is doing something naughty.
- plays peekaboo.
- will eat anything!
- is learning how to eat with a spoon, and he is doing a great job!
- says "ahhhh" after he takes a big drink.
- loves to meet new people. He especially gets excited when he sees other kids - any age.
Okay, I could go on and on.....and I probably will again real soon....
