I have been slack...

... But this is still going to be a short one. It's been crazy busy lately. When I have a free moment, I just want to RELAX!!

We have been trying to navigate stomach issues lately. I think Plum juice (let's be honest - it's just prune juice) is our trick. Apple juice just hasn't cut it. The plum juice seems to be working much better. When Jackson has a stomach ache, it just breaks my heart. He screams and actually writhes in pain. In these events and also when he gets upset in general, he gets mad at me when he figures out that I can't fix it. He wants me to hold him and then pushes me a way... it's like a vicious cycle. I put him down, he reaches for me... I pick him up, he pushes me away. IT'S AWFUL!

He still isn't walking. That's ok. He will walk when he is ready. He is getting more confident... I know he could do it if he would just try. I am not going to wish for it too much because I know the running after him is just going to get harder once he can really walk. He runs around everywhere pushing his cars. It's hilarious. We did buy him his first pair of shoes this weekend... so we are ready! Plus - it's getting cold. He really needed some shoes to wear to school.

One of his favorite things to do is to play peek a boo using his big tiger (big enough for him to ride). He looks under it looking for you and then stands up to look for you over it. It's so cute. I have attached a picture of him looking under it.

Lastly, we had spaghetti for dinner tonight. SUCH A MESS! He really enjoys feeding himself, so no matter how messy he gets, we just deal with it! I am just thankful that he seems to be a good eater (loves his veggies, fruit, meat... whatever).
