Jackson loves his Sweet Potatoes and Corn


Hurry up and feed him! That's our game plan when it comes to Jackson's food! He is getting really good at getting what he wants - especially with his grandparents. Jared and I are pretty good at settling him down before we give him what he wants - he really does understand with us that he cannot whine if he wants something. He tries, but knows it doesn't work. EXCEPT when it comes to his food and bottles! He will scream, grunt, cry, throw himself down, kick, anything he can do to get his food. We've tried to calm him down before he gets his food, but he only gets worse. So - we make sure he eats by 5:30pm and we do not try to multi-task while we feed him. If we don't pay attention and he doesn't get his next bite right away, he starts to fuss and tries to grab his food - causing a big mess - see above picture. Lesson learned - feedings come before anything else! I have to admit, I will take his tiny tantrums over food anyday! Jackson is such a great baby - patient, well-mannered, an amazing blessing, and so happy-all the time! We can't wait to see what Jackson does next, but for now, we'll take in all the new discoveries, tantrums, and giggles he has to offer.

I love your updates! He's growing to be such a handsome little guy. We can't wait to see him again! (And you guys, too!) Looking forward to your house pictures, too!
