Jackson-9 Months

Our little man is getting so big!

• Jackson can still wear some 9 months, but they are getting tight. We are moving towards 12 months.
• Now wears size 4 diapers.
• Loves to eat Puffs!  He is doing really well feeding himself.  He can pick up a Puff with his thumb and forefinger and get it into his mouth.
• He is eating more and more baby food.  He still eats cereal for breakfast, a veggie/meat combo for lunch, and a fruit for dinner.  He has tried apples, bananas, pears, peaches, and apricots.  He has also tried peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, summer veggies, green beans, chicken, beef, and rice.  He also loves yogurt. (He was not a fan of the green beans and rice, but he still ate it.) He has tried French toast, chicken, and he loves bread!
• He usually sleeps through the night even though we went through a week where he screamed through the night.
• He now has 8 teeth.  His front 2 are halfway broken through.  So he has 4 on top and 4 on bottom.
• We are rolling both ways!  Finally! He rolls all night long!
• Jackson can pull to standing position.  He loves to stand up and has tried to take some steps while holding onto fingers.  He can hold onto the coffee table and take a couple of steps around it.
• We are working on moving from a sitting to crawling position.  Jackson can turn around on his bottom and scoots across the floor.
• He loves to "talk".  He says "hi", and we are really working on MaMaMa and DaDaDa. 
• He plays Patty Cake all the time!  It is so cute.  He is so proud of himself!  We are working on "bye bye."
• He is generally in a happy mood.  He will let other people hold him and raises his arms to go to other people. He loves when Tu Tu comes to visit, because she lets him throw all the magazines on the floor.  He is fascinated by other kids.  He especially loved when Maria and Murphy played with him. He goes to church and plays with his friends.
• Jackson loves to play in the bath tub.  He loves it when you squirt water in his mouth.
• He loves to ride in his new car. 
• His favorite toys are his tool bench, remote control (toy and real), and the dragon at Noni's.
• He still loves reading especially his Llama Llama books.He also loves the Peek-a-Boo books.
• He usually wakes up around 6:30, eats, naps again around 9, eats, and naps around 1. Sometimes he takes a late afternoon nap too. He can hold his bottle when he wants to!

It is getting harder and harder to get these month pictures!  Someone does not always like to cooperate!
