Jackson- 10 months old





Age 10 months
Weight & Length 
Clothing size   6-12 month
Hair Blonde, and getting longer by the day
Teeth  Seven, but we see at least 1 more about to come in on the bottom.
Sleeping  Jackson sleeps from 7:00-8:00 pm until around 6:00-6:45 am.  He is waking up more lately, often twice a night. He naps twice a day.
Eating Jackson is a great eater! He continues to nurse when I am home with him and takes 5 oz bottles every 3-4 hours when at school.  He also started eating solids with the big boys at school.  He eats at 8:30, 11:30 and 3:30.  He usually tries some finger foods and mainly eats oatmeal, as well as lots of fruit and vegetable purees.  He does not like any meat purees, and we aren’t holding our breath for that to change in the future. He loves yogurt, crackers, baby mum mums and Lil’ Crunchies.  He will occasionally eat puffs and cheerios.  
Movement  Jackson started crawling 4 days before he turned 10 months old.  He likes to crawl both the traditional way, and with one leg up off the ground, and he his getting faster by the day. We are so proud!!
Milestones  Jackson loves to follow commands such as throwing the ball, clapping, and crawling over when we ask him to come to us. He is also starting to give/share toys when asked.
Favorite toys/activities  He loves to play catch.  He is very good at throwing, with both hands, so we wonder if he may be ambidextrous like his daddy. He loves looking at books.  He also is really enjoying swim class.
Dislikes  When Jackson wakes up at night, he sometimes has a hard time falling back to sleep.  He likes to sit up in his crib but hasn’t totally figured out how to easily get back down to a sleeping position.  It isn’t very much fun for Jackson or for us, and we are hoping he starts sleeping better again soon!
Words & sounds He continues to babble a lot, and sings songs with his sounds.  We are pretty sure he might be saying “Ba” for ball, but it is a bit hard to tell. He often says “MaMa” when around his Mama, but it isn’t happening every time.
What we love  Watching Jackson find his newfound independence with crawling.  He is so interested in spending time with us and is constantly watching those around him and learning new things by the minute.   
What we don’t love  Sleeping issues, but otherwise he is a perfect angel.
What we’re looking forward to next month Independent standing, more “talking”, and more movement.

June highlights...























A few more 9 month shots

Jackson is getting so mobile, that it is hard to capture his monthly shots before he tries to climb off the chair or peel off his 9 month sticker! 






He loves to stand up....



He also is very good at playing with some new fun toys, and playing catch too!
