Jackson has become very aware of EVERYTHING going on around him. That means if he thinks it's within his reach, he's going for it. This includes, but is not limited to, hair, earrings, glasses, food, drinks, and any electronic device. And he's fast!
So, for mommy that means a whole new strategy for lots of things. For instance, if he got fussy at mealtime I could just kinda hold him and bounce him while I ate. Not anymore. I turned my head for a second the other day and he's got a handful of my salad! When we read together he wants to hold the book, OK really just put it in his mouth :)
The one advantage to all of this is that at night, he can replace his own binky. Although, he lets us know (LOUDLY) that he'd rather have Mom or Dad do it most nights. But, I've seen him do it on his own, so I'm hopeful this will mean longer stretches of sleep for Mom and Dad sometime soon....
