ReplyDeleteWow he has done so much! I wish I had been taking more notes on when Jackson did what. Even with my blog I haven't kept up with as many Jackson updates as I should have.
ReplyDeleteHow did you teach him how to drink out of a straw? Jackson won't drink out of anything except a bottle. I've tried so many different sippy cups and he just doesn't like them!
Thanks Cassie!! :)
