I just read my last entry about trying to get Jaxson to eat table food and had to write something really quick ... but it will definitely be quick because I have to get up at 5 a.m. and I'm exhausted.
Jaxson is on table food just fine now. He's still a picky eater, but nothing like he was in the beginning. He's completely off of baby food and has been for months now. He's completely off of formula and the bottle (as children should be at this age) ... but he still takes a pacifier, especially when he sleeps. Actually, it's been more frequent than that lately because he's teething and, if he doesn't have a pacifier to chew on, he's chewing on his fingers, which become raw ... and blah, blah. lol.
My newest issue (although it's been an issue for two months now) is Jaxson's expressive communication. Namely, his speaking. He's so smart. He knows exactly what I'm saying to him, follows directions very well, and does what I ask him to without much difficulty. Buuuuut ... we cannot get him to speak! I can't say I've tried everything because, honestly, I don't know what everything is! It's starting to worry me the older he gets. He'll be 17-months-old in three days and he still doesn't have any "real" words! He has his "mamamamamama" when he wants me (although it's not consistant) and he has his "mymymymymymy" when his cup is empty, or when he see's it on the counter and he wants it. I've ordered a few books and DVD's to try and help me get him speaking, but it's starting to bother me. I would really like to get this little issue under control and soon that I can concentrate on something else in his development. Okay ... I just had to get that off of my chest.
I told you this would be short, but at least I wrote something! XOXO all!
