The Van Heules: Jackson-8 Months

Saturday, February 4, 2012

This past month has flown by! I can't believe that Jackson is 8 months old! His first birthday will be here before we know it!

Jackson:

Wears mostly 9 month clothes. He can wear some 12 months.
Wears size 3 diapers, but will be moving to size 4 soon!
He eats 3 meals a day: cereal in the morning, veggies at lunch, and fruit for dinner. He pretty much loves everything, especially sweet potatoes, apples, and bananas. He tried his first puffs today. He was a little unsure at first, but I think he liked them.
He sleeps through the night. He will fall asleep in his car seat, but otherwise, someone has to be holding him.
He has 4 teeth including the 2 bottom middle and two upper on the sides of the middle ones.
He can finally roll from his tummy to his back. He still hates rolling from his back to tummy.
He screams all of the time (in a good way)! He loves to make noises and talk. He especially loves when you mimic him.
Jackson loves to play! His favorites right now are still his Jumperoo, his tool bench, and his table. He loves anything that lights up and makes noise!
He still loves to read and chew on books.
He loves to chew on his socks.
Katy Perry and Elmo always cheer him up!
Jackson loves to splash in the bath tub.
He has tried to pull up on some furniture and can stand for a few seconds independently.
He scoots on his bottom and can turn himself around, but has not attempted crawling yet.
We had to lower the crib today (like he sleeps in it or something.).
