Forecast in Jacksonville: 100% chance of rapid growth

 

Our little man is not so little any more. (and no, he's not nearsighted, it's just baby fashion.)

All within one week, he started pulling himself up, standing, talking, waving and playing backgammon.  He is also obsessed with making silly faces and sticking his tongue out.   He weighs in at an overwhelming 23 pounds and is 29" tall.  Because of this, most of the 12 month clothes that we have purchased to get him through the winter are already too small.  He loves to beat on anything that resembles a drum and his first official word was "da-da."  He has also said babbling babytalk that has resembled words such as "debra," "grandpa (or gum-pa)," and "Aflac." 

We're just excited that he is already concerned with

insurance coverage in case you're out of work and need money. 

 

We spent an afternoon on the Channel Cat water taxi with Grandpa.  Jackson LOVED the wind and water more than I can explain.

 

Until next week, at which time he will probably be taking the SAT tests...
