This is a very exciting week for everyone and can also be hectic with all of the Christmas preparations, so I will just give an update on Jackson's developments and spoil you with more cute pictures of what people at church are calling "the best baby."
Jackson can now touch the floor with his tiptoes in his jumperoo and is quite pleased with his jumping skills. He now grabs toys and pulls them towards his face and also has started sucking on blankets and the ends of toys that he can fit into his mouth. His smiling and laughter has doubled in the past week--maybe he knows it's Christmas after all? Jackson's eyes are slightly changing colour and aren't as blue as they used to be. I imagine he will have brown eyes like Lee and me, but they're in between colours right now and have a greenish-blue hue. His favourite Christmas book is The Twelve Days of Christmas which is a commitment in and of itself, but he doesn't respond to the song without the pictures to along with it in the book. With all of his books now, he is staring at the pictures and looking left to right over and over, sometimes laughing, sometimes furrowing his brows, or sometimes smiling at the pictures. He's starting to blow little bubbles and make clear "oh" sounds. Lately, he's been hoisting his head up to try and sit, but can't make it unless he's holding onto our hands and then pulls himself quite easily. Somehow, during the night, he's shifting around in his bed and we discover him at new angles in the morning; so, he's discovering ways of moving. Jackson has shown affection toward one bunny in particular and he falls asleep holding this toy during his naps.
As always, thank you for reading! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Eating at Pizza Hut with Mom and Dad, sitting in the high chair. Also, getting lots of attention from the tables nearby and smiling at the waitress whenever she came around.

If you see Sammie Miles Davis, Jr. and Bella, give them my love.
