I asked Jackson for a kiss a few weeks ago and was surprised when he leaned over and put his mouth on my cheek. I thought it was a coincidence so I tried a few minutes later. He did the same thing. Sometimes, he'll even grab my face with both hands and give me a slobbery kiss. Jackson also learned to clap last week. Now every time I say "clap!", he'll excitedly put his hands together and clap with the biggest smile ever.

Jackson also understands when he isn't supposed to do something, like play with our shoes. Every time he crawls in that direction, he'll look back expecting me to say "come back here." As soon as I do, he displays his mischievous smile and crawls even faster towards the shoes.

Babies understand way more than we give them credit for!
