What I Want To Remember About Right Now

No pics or video, although I've been trying to catch some neat stuff on film (so to speak), but here are some cute things I want to remember about Jackson at this age:

• I have to hide the black and white baby sling now, because when he sees it Jackson orders me to vacuum the house (that's the only time we wear it). The floors are really clean, though.
• Jackson is taking little steps between things now, all on his own.
• Jackson "talks" back to anything that makes a sound - birds, cats, the phone, he even squeaked back to the smoke alarm when it started to do the low-battery beep. He pants back at the dog with his tongue sticking out.
• He has started to love "helping" - he "helps" load the dishwasher, open and close the door and push the buttons. So cute!
• Don't dare and try to do laundry without the baby. He loves to help put the clothes and soap in the wash (he watches, then slams the lid at the end), and he reeeeaaaally loves to help put the clothes in the dryer (and take them out, and put them in piles, and put some back in, it really is sooooooo cute).
• He head-butts to show affection. He'll take the top of the cute little head and grind it into you and climb all over you, like he can't snuggle close enough. And if you're really lucky, he'll give you a sweet little hug.

Love my little man. Don't want to leave him to go back to work *sniff*.
