Jackson is almost 2!

Can you believe my sweet little man is almost 2. He will turn 2 on March 5th. He is getting so big. He is about 37 inches tall and weighs 26.5lbs. He is in the 95th or above for height and 35th for weight. I am a little concerned about his weight because he is not gaining weight, even though he continues to gain height. Another part of me thinks he is just going to look like dad, and be really tall and thin. He is basically on track for someone his age except for the eating and his language. Adam and I have noticed that he is trying to say more words, and think they will come with time. He has swallowed some things lately. He will eat a couple crackers and he ate 2 bits of pizza crust the other day. I think his eating is coming along and hopefully he will start eating better and better. He gave us a huge scare the other day. He is teething and like to chew on metal so he was chewing on our mailbox keys while he was being fed, which means he was laying down. He got them a little too far in the back of his throat and started to gag, so Adam sat him up to try to get the keys out and when he did the keys slid all the way down his throat. He called me into the room and I started to do the baby Heimlich, while Adam called 911. Jackson in the meantime was turning pretty blue. It took Adam a second to find the phone, he had dialed the 9 when the keys flew out of his mouth. Long story short Jackson is fine and his Mommy and Daddy were quite shaken for while. I thought Jackson would be the last child to choke on something being that he doesn't swallow anything. He just likes to keep us on our toes.

We took him to the Dallas Worl Aquarium. He had lots of fun. I am including some pictures. One is of Jackson and Daddy looking a manatee, and there is one of them looking at the sloth.

There is also a picture of him right after his first real big boy haircut.

We are supposed to close on our new house around March 20th. We are getting very very excited. There is no other real news. I will update after his party, and share all of our pics. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for reading.

Love

Kimberly, Adam and Jackson
