Singing and playing!

Jaxon loves to sing and dance! We can hear any type of music or beat and he just starts bopping his head, swinging his arms, and spinning in circles! He especially loves kids songs and has learned the hand motions to many of the songs. We captured him after breakfast on Halloween morning doing the motions to some of his favorites.

Ready to listen....

"Itsy bitsy spider" (This is the down came the rain part...)

"Where is thumbkin?" He loves moving his fingers to this song.

"If you're happy and you know it"....Clap your hands.

"Head and Shoulders..."

I guess I haven't updated in a while as far as his new "skills". He can now count to two - we are currently working on moving up to three :-) He loves books and can point out many objects in the books that you ask him to (ball, shoes, phone, tv, dog, cat, airplane, tricycle, socks, flower, baby, bird, pumpkin, etc. etc.) He says "mama, daddy, bubba, banana, ball, bottle, grandma, grandpa, bye bye, night night, snack, that?" He can point to many body parts of his when asked - nose, eyes, tongue, teeth, ear, hair, head, belly, bellybutton, fingers, toes - and we're working on knees and elbows. Halloween was his first official day with no bottles. He didn't seem to mind at all. He doesn't really have any "security objects" that he has to have, guess he feels very loved and secure :-) He graduated to a big boy car seating, facing forward and absolutely LOVES it! Takes only one nap per day - about 2 hours in the afternoon and finally sleeps through the night (most nights). Has learned to open all the drawers and cupboards in the house - guess it's time for the latches! Jaxon is on the go non-stop all day long, like most typical one year olds I'm sure....if he's not dancing to whatever music is on, he's running (and I mean running!) around the house laughing and having a great time! We are having so much fun with him and can't seem to get enough time to enjoy him. I hear it just keeps getting more fun - we can't wait!
