16 Months.....sigh :(
Wow has time just flown by....my little man is 16 months!!
He is so smart and such a joy to be around, he makes everyone around him smile (even strangers at the grocery store). I am just so thankful to have the best, most rewarding and fun job in the world!! Here is what Jackson has been doing at 16 months:
-Went to the doctor he weighs...26.2 lbs a whopping 75% for his age (the biggest yet!) usually he hangs out in the 50-60%. His height is 33 inches which puts him in the 92% percentile....he has always been in this percentile since birth....and his small head is 18 1/2 inches which is the 44% again where he has been since birth. The doctor gave him an A+ (his words not mine!) and was very happy he was still following his "growth pattern". We were excited to see Dr. Budd again, the last time was Jackson's 2 week check up.....he was filling in for Dr. Lloren while he took a much deserved vacation.
-Jackson is such a good sleeper still sleeping about 12-14 hours a night and has been doing this since he was 7 months! We are officially down to ONE nap for 2 hours in the afternoon.
-He is saying a few words: dad, momma, dog, bird, no, yes, what, and a few others we have yet to de-code :) He is also a doing GREAT with sign language....I am so happy we are doing this with him....he can sign, more, yes, no, please, thank you, dog, cat, cow, bird, toys, water, food, eat, where, what, sleep, outside, book, open and close.
- 6 teeth....but more are coming. His gums are starting to get bulgy and white. He loves to brush his teeth
- Loves to wave hi to people in the store and blow kisses
- Loves to hug and kiss Mya Sue....who is the SWEETEST dog ever!!
- Enjoys reading books both by himself and with us.
- Not a picky eater....some of his favorites are hummus, pita, banana, applesauce, frozen peas, blueberries, pears, noodles, rice, graham crackers and grapefruit (strange but he loves it!) He is even drinking Almond milk and loves that too!! We still are not introducing any dairy or soy products yet....
-Loves to work outside with daddy
-His favorite toys are anything that is not a "toy" flashlights, brooms, tupperware...you get the idea. He also loves balls, ping pong, wiffle, soccer and of course golf balls.
-He loves to watch the golfers from our patio upstairs.
-Is officially a RUNNER.....yep a wise mommy told me, "it's not the walking but the running that will get you!" So true!! Though its good cardio for me :)
-Loves music....any music and loves to dance!!
- Still going to The Little Gym....we are going to take a break for the summer so we can do swim lessons but plan to enroll in the Fall semester at the Little Gym.
- Loves to play in our closet and go on golf cart rides
- His eyes still haven't decided on a color still blue, green gray color
-Not much hair but starting to grow more ( I was pretty much bald til I was 3!!)
- Having more "mini tantrums" but those are getting shorter and fewer as he realizes that is not going to work with us.
-Still has his "lovey" Tigger.
-Can point to his...belly, hair, eyes, eye lashes, toes, chin. ear and knees!
Jackson is such a fun kid....yes he is busy and oh so curious but is still a cuddle bug too! We are so blessed to have such a cool little kid. We thank God every day for the healthy, beautiful, sweet little boy that we are so lucky to call our son.
We love you Jackson!!

Easter Fun!
We hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!
I want to take a second to welcome the THREE baby girls that were born last week. Baby Kaia Stork and Baby Britta Hinz were born Tuesday March 30th and Baby Isabella Zamora was born Wednesday March 31st. All mommies and babies are doing great and these little girls are all BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations Stork, Hinz and Zamora families!
Anywho.....we started our Easter festivities on Saturday with the Rancho Murieta Egg hunt. It was so much fun! We had some family and friends over for lunch and of course champagne! Then we headed out to Stonehouse Park via golf cart to hunt for eggs. Can you believe there were over 5500 eggs stuffed with candy, sticker and tattoos! Being the competitive people we are.....we held some egg trials for Jackson before the big day. We wanted him to not become fascinated with just one egg but grab and toss in his basket. He did such a GREAT job! He loved picking up the eggs shaking them and tossing them into his basket. What a difference from last year!
Last year.....wow! Jackson was 15 weeks last Easter
Getting ready with Daddy.....look at all those eggs!
Great Job Jackson!!
Asleep before we left the parking lot!!!
On Sunday we headed up to Cameron Park.....though the weather was awful, we still had a great time. The 10-30 year old cousins had our Poker Egg Hunt....yep find eggs with cards and win cash for the best three hands. Had some drama (shocked I'm sure!) when my grandpa decided that jokers could be Ace's or Kings....I guess when your paying the cash...what you say goes, lol!
We were sad that we couldn't do our Annual Egg toss either.....next year its on! Hope everyone had a great holiday!!
