Spent the day at home hanging out with little man and doing chores around the house. It was finally time for a haircut, and although little man hates getting covered in hair, he loves jumping in the shower to get cleaned up.

The last three months, Jackson's speaking skills have skyrocketed, and he talks in 3 - 5 word sentences regularly, and is able to repeat most of what we say. We have been practicing numbers, letters, and colors, and I can't believe how quickly this little man picks things up! Check him out in the soccer outfit Lonnie bought little man in Spain. When I tell him how great he looks in yellow (and that it's mommy's favorite color), he tells me it's "wellow". He loves to count, but has a bias with the number "two". He says everything is two! He also loves to practice his letters, but leans toward "e" for some reason.

Jackson LOVES to command Bailey these days. He constantly says "Bailey sit down", "Bailey come", "Bailey sit", "Bailey drop" (when he wants her to drop the ball so he can throw it for her). I need to start getting some of these things recorded, because I know that a year from now, all of these firsts are going to be a distant memory! In addition to commanding Bailey, Jackson also likes to command his parents, and regularly tells us to "come", "sit down", "go", "outside", and "inside", depending on his mood. He is such a blend of the two of us!!
