He weighs 9.44 kgs, or 20.13 lbs.
Last week he started properly crawling, so he can really get around now. He loves to follow Piper and Mama and Daddy around. He also still loves to pull up to stand.
Jackson can really communicate with his voice now. He has different sounds to let us know when he wants more of something, when he has a question, when he wants us to pick something up or hand him something, etc. He still says "Mama" and "Daddy," and seems to at least know that Daddy is "Daddy." (He tends to whine "Mama" when he is upset and needs attention.)
He is also starting to understand the words "no" and "gentle" and the signs for "milk," "nappy," "more," and "all gone."
Jackson's big thing at the moment is shaking his head "no" when he doesn't want something. He also like to show you things he's holding; he's starting to get the concept of sharing.
He's also a lot cuddlier, and likes to scramble over to get hugs and kisses (though this often turns into biting and hair-pulling, which he thinks is hilarious and where learning the words "no" and "gentle" come in).
Jackson has almost 6 teeth! He has the bottom two, which came in first, and now the top front two, not to mention the ones next to each of them breaking through.
This month he has tried lots of new foods, including roast pork and beef, Peking duck and wild boar, and rice with ginger and lemon sauce.
Today it's sunny out so Mama and Jackson are going to have a picnic in the park.

Happy Birthday, Jackson! Old Grandaddy had forgotten today's the 5th.
What a big boy you are--crawling, communicating, growing teeth.
Grandaddy and NoNaMe can't wait to see you. We've got the swimming pool all ready for you.
Love,
Grandaddy
Happy Birthday Jackson! Tell Mama that you can eat a cupcake with all those teeth. Hope you had a good birthday. LOVE, NoNaMe
