Newfound Independence

Jackson's developing an independent streak lately. When he's walking around with his pusher toy and gets stuck, he does not like for me to help him. He goes so far as to push my hand away, and I'm not allowed to touch the handle at all. He actually gets mad if I try to help him. I think it's pretty cute. He's also graduated to taking bites of a banana while I hold it, instead of eating bites that I have cut for him. But now he doesn't even want to do that. He wants to hold his own banana, thank you very much. He's quite proud of himself, and we are too! Now if we can just get him to take smaller bites...
