Jackson is 10 months old!

I can't believe that Jackson is 10 months old!  That sounds so big!
In fact, he is helping me type.

Jackson:

• Wears mostly 12 month clothes
• Wears size 3-4 shoe
• Wears size 4 diapers
• Says "Moma," "Hey,"
• He makes the "da" sound, and I think he has said "no."  He is also make g noises and b noises.
• He is still eating baby food and Puffs. He has been eating more and more table food. He likes peas, chicken, and bananas.  He does really well feeding himself.  I even made some homemade baby food (zucchini and squash) which he loved. He loves pancakes!  He shovels the little pieces in.  He also likes grits and still loves baby cereal. He is a good eater.
• He sleeps through the night with us.  Our house makes this difficult since our bedroom is upstairs and his is downstairs on the opposite end of the house.  He hates the Pack-n-Play and his bed. He usually goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps to 6:30 during the week and 7:30 on the weekends.  We have all been sleeping late during Spring Break.  He is so sweet when he wakes up.  He taps me on the back or on my face until I wake up.
• He has 8 teeth and this cute little gap between his front teeth.
• We are working on crawling.  He will rock back and forth but still hasn't gotten it all figured out. He wants to, but can't figure out how.
• He scoots everywhere on his bottom. Sometimes, he even hops.
• He is trying to pull up on furniture and toys.  He can stand for a few seconds by himself.  He can take a few steps holding our hands.
• He waves bye bye now.  It is usually when we have already left or the other person has already left.
• He plays Patty Cake and claps all the time.
• Jackson loves to be around kids.  He wants to play with them.
• Jackson still loves to read especially the Peekaboo books and Llama books.
• We still sing "You are My Sunshine."
• He likes the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" again.
• He is quite opinionated.  When you give him a toy or book that he doesn't want, he will hit it.
• He is still basically on his same schedule.
• I love that he is such a happy baby.  He has the sweetest little laugh.  He thinks that Noni's dog Rudy is hilarious. He also loves Abby.
• He has so much more hair. It is still really light and fluffy.  He gets really sweaty when he takes a nap. His hair is everywhere when he wakes up.
• He has gotten so big.  It is amazing to think about how much he has changed in ten months.
• His favorite toys are his car, remote, learning table, trains, and puzzle.  He likes puzzles now.
• Jackson still loves Elmo and watching You Tube videos of Elmo.

Jackson is such a blessing!  Tim and I packed up some of his baby stuff today (baby rocker, pack-n-play, bouncy chairs, and lamb chair). It was very sad.  Tim even found a shirt that Jackson wore in the hospital.
