11 months!

This is all Jackson! 

Jackson,

       11 months?! We cannot believe that in 1 month you will be ONE! It is absolutely crazy! We have spent this past month looking at all your newborn pictures and talking about how it has flown by. Aww :( This month was really tough on the whole sleep thing. You hate sleep. Hate it. I took you to the doctor three times to figure out what was going on (you also had a fever and were not acting yourself). All we could figure was it was a virus. And now that's gone and you still won't sleep. You have woken up at 4:45 everyday for the past three weeks and only taking 1, 1 hour nap a day. But you are happier than ever! 

      You are on the go, go, go! Crawling faster than ever. I mean lightening speed. I have lost you twice in the house (panic attack city) only to find you in your room with the door shut. Don't worry readers all the doors are locked/gate up by pool/etc (and really this has happened to everyone I am sure). You use your little motorcycle walker to speed even faster around the house. You are running with it. You love opening the cabinets and rearranging everything (especially spices). I find spices all around the house. In fact you dumped curry all over the floor and Oscar practically bathed in. He acted like it was catnip. It was hilarious. You still love to cuddle with mama and pretty much mama only. Stranger danger big time. You love daddy and you love being held by him but you don't snuggle together. You have taken 4 steps on your own!!!! And are running while holding on to our hands. You are throwing and rolling the ball and also trying to dribble it... which brings us to milestones:

• Taking steps by yourself
• Saying "mama" (that's right first word), imitating "dada" saying "bubu" for bubbles
• You have a name for Stella kinda like "uha" something like that
• Signing eat, all done, more
• Pincher grasp, pointing, using fork (if I put the food on)
• Imitating stirring with the spoon, feeding animals, using the remote, texting
• Imitating everything- hanging the diapers up to dry, folding clothes, everything.
• Love: Pancakes, fruit, bell peppers, avocado, sunbutter, puffs, teething biscuits, peas
• Hate: broccoli, carrots

Health: Approved for dairy! Although I have yet to try it..but we will. Still absolutely no eggs or soy. You had a little virus but I'll be honest I think you get a little bug right before you get teeth. You are working on at least two more right now. 

Aww and next month you will be one!!!
