Jackson's First Scrapbook

Jackson asked me to find all of the pictures of him that I've taken since we moved to Wisconsin and print them out. He found an empty notebook and had Lincoln help him with the writing.

He wanted to show all of his grandparents and family back in Oklahoma what he's been up to. In case you can't read it, it says "we did sevrle (several) things in Wisconsin"... "I had so much fun in Wisconsin"..."you got to come to Wisconsin, 'cause it's so fun"

This was all his doing. He's been super creative lately and is always coming up with new craft projects. Yesterday he figured out how to make a snake by cutting a spiral out of a piece of paper. Then he glued on a little tongue and drew an eye. Such a creative guy!

22 Months

For some reason I chose to record all of Lincoln's vocabulary at 22 months. I made a poster of all of the words. I felt the need to do the same for Jackson, so here I am continuing the tradition for Harrison.

ball

duh = drink, liquid of any kind

ee = cheese

ee = shoes too

oof = dog

ff = hot, fire

ro = rock

boe = bowl

nah = snack

whoa!

brrr = moving vehicle of some sort, kind of a vroom vroom sound

ma = mom, or any grown woman

da = dad or any grown man

more (signs more often than speaking)

hya = fighting (light sabers or his brother's video games)

animal sounds - owl hoot, wolf howl, lion, etc roar, camel, pig, cat, cow, sheep

ro = frog

dat = that

yick = yucky

ha = chop

buh = bike

His vocabulary seems to be smaller than I remember the others, but I rarely struggle with knowing what he wants. He is very good at pointing and showing us what he wants. He also already has an opinion about what he is wearing. My big boys rarely have an opinion about that! He loves stripes, trucks and animals on his clothes. He doesn't say "no," but he has the cutest head shake when that is his opinion (ie. would you like to go take a nap?). He's gotten very good with his "soft touches" and always pets people softly if they are sad. He is an excellent little waver, loves books and can identify most of the objects in his favorites.

He's pretty much too sweet for words.
