Talkin' and Laughin'

Recently Jackson has taken to smiling when we smile, telling us why, and throwing in a little infant laugh. Sometimes he'll do it for so long our cheeks will hurt from smiling. Here's a clip of a happy baby in conversation.



Not sure why he's so happy, but we decided to keep him--despite painful cheeks. I have a theory that he's really just laughing at all the names we call him. He has quite a collection. Here's a fairly comprehensive list:

Jackson
Jacksonian
Bud
Budster
Bub
Bubster
Bubsteroni
Bubbaloo
Bubbaloobie
Mr.
Sir
Kid
Baby
Babycheeks
Babycakes
Poopster
Tookster
Dude
Dudie
Cutie

I try to call him Jackson enough so he'll know his name, but Bubbaloo is my favorite. Just imagine kissing those chunky cheeks and calling him Bubbaloo. Wow. Life doesn't get much better.
