Jackson is 7 months old today. He weighs 18-20lbs (we'll weight him next week) and has just cut his first tooth (his bottom front left one).He seems to know his name, loves Piper and all cats, and is starting to recognise dogs.
Jackson has mastered sitting up but isn't so keen on crawling; he prefers standing and holding on, or standing and bouncing.
He says "ma ma ma" (when he wants something) and "ba ba ba" (when he's playing and thinking) and sometimes "da da da" (when he's really working on his speech).
Jackson loves Ella's Organic puree pouches and Mama's homemade pureed carrots, mangoes and banana "pudding." He isn't so keen on plain courgette. And he HATES the pasty food that tends to come in jars here in the UK. He has good taste.
He is learning to drink from a cup, and will hopefully have mastered this by April or May, when he can be weaned off Mama and off some bottles.
Jackson is also learning some sign language. Right now we are working on "milk," "eat," "bath," "sleep," "cat," "dog," and "more." He already does his own sign for eating/hungry (smacking his lips), which he learned from his grandparents in the US when he started solids.
By the end of this month, he will have visited Australia, Dubai, Singapore, and three states of the USA, and travelled on three airlines. Not bad for someone under 1!

What a big boy! I hope that's solid food remains on his face or social services may become involved!
