Jackson, as usual, is keeping life interesting these days! He is imitating everything we say which is really fun but also makes us more aware of how important it is to protect him from things we don’t want him to hear or say. His words for “sit” and “truck” resemble some not so nice words. Our favorite word that he just learned is “birthday”. We got to call Seth on his birthday at work and Jackson could tell him happy birthday!

Here is a little video we made of him parroting Seth. These are a few of his words. I wish I could set up a video to get a day in the life of him talking because he surprises us with every new word!

This past weekend when we got to the finca we went to get settled in our room. Jackson was exploring…mainly checking out any cords and plugs in the room to make sure everything was in hand’s reach. After a few minutes of checking out the room Jackson started shrieking “Jesus”.  Seth and I were both busy and didn’t look up until he said it about 5 times. (You have to understand that he says everything 10 times at this stage…on average we respond somewhere between the 1st time and the 5th time :)) When we finally looked up we saw that Jackson had spotted an old Catholic rosary-type thing on the wall with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.  He has learned who Jesus is through his little cartoon looking Bible and when we look at nativities but I thought it was crazy that he knew instantly that it was Jesus. From then on every time we went up the stairs to our room he would say “Jesus!”
