He's a sponge when it comes to imitiating actions, words, etc. He loves to climb and jump on anything. The other night he was very quiet in his room and I went to check on him. What I found was Jackson climbing up on his ottoman and leaping to the chair in his room like a bull frog! He thought it was hilarious and did it over and over again until he feel between the gap between the ottoman and the chair.................and then he did it one more time for good measure before settling down for story time before bed.
He got tubes in December and it may be a coincindence, but he's turned in to quite the chatter box lately. Of course, his favorite word is, "No!". We udnerstand about 60% - 70% of what he actually says. I've wondered where he gets some of his words and have started figuring out that they are things that mommy and daddy say that we are not completely aware of. Here are a couple of examples:
1) "Oh. Okay!" Instead of saying "yes" Jackson responds with "oh. okay." as in Mommy responding to Jackson with "Oh. Okay..........." when he asks nicely for something.
2) "Thanks, babe." After hearing daddy say this, Jackson responded to me carrying his book up the stairs for him with "Thanks, babe."
3) Jackson got a flashlight from his "G" for Christmas and his Uncle Marc showed him how to use it as a microphone to rap. Anytime he picks up his flashlight, he starts rapping and holds it out for whoever is around to rap with him!
I'm sure as his vocabulary grows, it will only get more entertaining. We sure do love our little booger!
