Jackson- 9 months old



Age 9 months
Weight & Length  19 lbs and 7 oz (46%), 29 inches (70%)
Clothing size   6-12 month
Hair Blonde, blonde, blonde
Teeth  SEVEN- poor guy went from 4 teeth to 7 teeth in a matter of days. This was some of the roughest “teething” yet, though he handled it all with a drooling smile.
Sleeping  Jackson sleeps from 7:00-8:00 pm until around 6:00-6:45 am.  He still wakes up once a night.  He has had a harder time falling asleep for naps and at bedtime lately.  Hopefully it is just his teeth!  He naps twice a day.
Eating  Jackson has been exploring all kinds of yummy fruit/veggie/grain combos when it comes to purees. He still likes the baby mum mums, and refuses puffs.  We have decided now that he is 9 months we are going to try to start more table food.  He is also going to start eating three times a day with the “Big boys” at school.  He loves rice cereal and oatmeal as well.
Movement  Jackson can quickly scoot across the room- he often is in a half crawling position, leaving his left leg under him.  The baby gates are up!
Milestones  He learned to pull up just a few days after he turned 9 months old.
Favorite toys/activities  He loves his new sandbox and kiddy pool! He also likes his textured balls, and new airplane and dump truck.  His favorite book is his new truck book.
Dislikes  Jackson’s second ear infection in 2 months.  Also dislike prolonged efforts to get him to bed these days. Hoping it is just the teeth or his ears!  
Words & sounds Ma ma ma….yes, he finally said it!  
What we love   We love watching how smart he is.  He is really enjoying his new interactive toys and seems to figure them out amazingly quickly!
What we don’t love  Ear infections and having a hard time falling asleep.
What we’re looking forward to next month Taking Jackson up north and getting him into Elk Lake!
