Stay Tuned....

I forgot my camera on Thanksgiving, but Jameson's second turkey day was heavily documented by two grandmas and an uncle. Hopefully I'll get a few of those pictures up here soon!

I did take pictures the day before Thanksgiving. It wasn't until I looked at these pictures today that I realized Nathan was on the phone. That just makes the pictures all the weirder.

The photos that were here are now gone. Nothing to see here, officer. Move along.

What ISN'T He Doing?

Jameson is growing incredibly fast. His vocabulary has expanded to include Hi, Bye, Yes, Cheese, Bot (bottle), Cup, Bat (Bath), Cat, Woo-woo (dog or bird), Spi (spider), Down, Up, DaDa, and Mom. I am very happy that he has "yes" before "no", although he has been crying to express his displeasure for a long time.

Still no walking, but that's not keeping him from getting into all sorts of trouble. In the past few days he has:

Pulled everything out of his diaper box and climbed in:


Yes, he room is a mess. I clean it up every once in awhile, but he immediately pulls everything out of the boxes and drawers, so the motivation to keep it picked up is low.

He also re-discovered that he can climb onto the second shelf of the baker's rack. Nathan took a picture while I was at class on Sunday, and then I took a picture the next day.



He gets into the bath tub.


Okay, I helped him get in there, but he was trying really hard and I didn't want him to tumble in. He thought it was hilarious to be in the tub without water. He played just like he normally does in the bath, and didn't want to get out.


And just a few minutes ago, he tried to go out the cat door. He has never done this before, and it presents a new challenge. I'm pretty sure he can't get out very easily, but he could easily get hurt trying. Ha also might discover that he can chuck things out the door, and I am not going to enjoy have to go outside to get my keys. If he tries this again, I'll have to get mean.





I had to rescue him since the wine rack made it hard to back up.

Look how dirty!

Child Devlopment

I have been reading a book on infant development and moral philosophy, and found it interesting that one of the early signs of complex thought in children is the ability to recognize pictures of things as representations of things in the real world.

Last night while we were reading "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" Jameson turned the page from the yellow duck to the purple cat. When he saw the cat, he slapped the page and squealed "Ki-Cat!"

I'm not sure if he just figured out that the picture is a cat, or if he just decided to tell me last night, but either way it was very cute. He didn't get the connection with the white dog on the next page, probably because he hears dogs much more often than he sees them. To him a dog is a "Woo-Woo-Woo".
