Toddler Time

Jaxton is turning into a little toddler!! Right about his birthday in November, he became a little sponge and has been learning things and picking up on things so fast! He understands so much and it is so amazing and fun to watch him grow at this stage. He does a lot of sign language. Here are the signs that he knows:

Bathtime

More

Please

Car

Milk

Hat

Baby

Light

Fan

Airplane

Night-Night

Duck

Prayer

Change diaper

Up

Jaxton's first word was "Dog," but he pronounced it "Gog." Here are more of the words he is saying:

Ball ("Ba")

NumNums (for food)

Mama

Dada

Bike

Jaxton can show you where he ears, eyes, nose, tongue, teeth, hair, toes, feet, socks, shoes, belly button, pants, and fingers are. He also knows the Christmas tree, Santa, and Elmo, and several others. I can tell him something or ask him something and he will respond to it. He totally understands what I tell him all the time. Because he can't really verbalize much yet, you wouldn't know how much he understands, but with his signing and me working with him, Wow! I know he is so smart. We've been teaching him "prayer" in sign by folding his arms. Now, when he's in his high chair ready for a meal, he will fold his arms without me saying a thing because he now knows that we have to pray before we eat. It is so precious to see him learn and grasp ideas and concepts. We got him a little baby boy doll to prepare him for the arrival of his little brother next month. Immediately he picked up on the sign for baby. Every day gets funner and funner and he gets cuter as his little personality begins to come through!
