Stranger? What's that?

Jackson is definitely a social butterfly.  I realize that at his stage in development, the "stranger danger" phase comes and goes.  But I'm wondering if it ever arrived?


Lately, he has been approaching anyone who will give him a smile or attention and putting his arms up to be held.  He also has been targeting moms with small kiddos = SNACKS!  Yes, he is a moocher.

As adorable as this can be, at times it can be scary!  His (quick!) mobility combined with his lack of stranger anxiety causes many "freak out Mommy" moments.  It's tough to keep tabs on him!

Thankfully, the ones that he has approached have been very gracious and seem harmless. :)

Case in point- Lily's last soccer game.  We sat next to the coach's mother- a grandmother of 14 grandchildren!  He took one look at her and climbed right into her lap.  This made me smile.  He knows a grandma when he sees one!


  And because she is a grandma of 14 grandchildren, she has SNACKS!  Extra bonus!


He spent the entire game either in her lap or playing in one of the strollers next to her.  He is such a sweet boy and loves attention.  Wonder where he gets that from? :)
