I can't help but love these two pictures of Jackson and Josie. She lights up whenever he is around and he has such a kind spirit towards her. We are so blessed. These two are really growing up and becoming their own little individuals.
Jackson has been potty trained for a few months now, he can count to 25, put puzzles together, and is sounding out and reading some simple words. He loves his class at mother's day out and playing with his friends here on the 5th floor at Swiss Tower (family campus housing). He has become very helpful lately to me by carrying things to the car, picking up dirty clothes, and comforting Josie at night as the fall asleep (in the same room)! They are sleeping great together at night and waking bright and early together in the morning...6 am usually :(. His favorite television show right now is Kipper the Dog, a British cartoon with exceptionally dry humor that he finds hilarious! He is gradually leaving the crazy 2 year old phase and maturing a ton in his understanding and reasoning skills. Thank goodness!
Josie is 11 months old now and starting to army crawl. She loves blueberries, eggs, and zucchini. She doesn't babble, she screams high pitched girly screeches that crack Jackson up and he answers her in the same manner. It's too cute to stop most of the time and extremely funny when Jackson finally covers his ears and frowns...that's payback! She has battled another round of eardrum ruptures which has led us to make an appt. with an ENT for August. Hopefully we will be reassured that all is well or given some direction on treating this problem. Josie is still very much baby. I remember Jackson seeming so much older at this age, but she is perfectly content to be coddled. We all accommodate her very well :). What a blessed mother and wife I am to be surrounded by such great children and a loving husband.
