Inherited

As Jackson's getting older and we're seeing more and more of his personality, I'm able to pinpoint some things that he's inherited from mommy and daddy.

From Kaitlin: His mouth and tongue
From Brian: Everything else

From Kaitlin: Freakishly strong legs
From Brian: Freakishly sweaty head

From Kaitlin: Taking up half the bed when he sleeps
From Brian: The congestion and snoring when he sleeps

From Kaitlin: The inexpicable crying
From Brian: The inability to focus on one thing at a time

From Kaitlin: The hair color
From Brian: The hair on his toes

From Kaitlin: The constant need for attention as a child
From Brian: The constant need to eat

All jokes aside its so fun to see how much he grows and learns every day. We see more and more of each other and its fun to say "he got that from me!" or "he definitely got that from you!"


Some funny quirks that he has (which are probably all to be said for most babies) are:

-He loves sitting up and hates to be laying down or reclined when he can sit up or stand and look at the world
-He loves his changing table and the minute we lay him down in it he calms down and he talks way more in it, even if we leave the room or he can't see us
-He loves to coo, especially after he's eaten or when he wakes up
-When I'm working at the computer with him in my lap he will twist his head up to look at me and smile
-He will whine when we leave a room, but has the biggest smile when he sees us again, whether he wants to smile or still pout
 
I can't believe we were blessed with such an amazing, sweet, handsome, funny, active, perfect boy!

He really is a clone of Brian....but you and Brian do look like siblings. A couple days ago I looked at Tyler and thought he could easily be my adopted child, we look NOTHING a like at all...at least you have the same tongue as Jackson :) But I also tease Craig and say that I am not even sure if he is the father of Tanner because they look and act nothing alike :)
