Jackson- 11 months old



Age 11 months
Weight & Length Approximately 22 lbs.
Clothing size   6-12 month
Hair Blonde, and getting more hair by the day!
Teeth  8 (four on top, and 4 on the bottom)- and they sure are sharp!
Sleeping  Jackson sleeps from 7:00-8:00 pm until around 6:00-6:45 am. He naps twice a day.  Jackson started sleep training just before he turned 11 months. We are hoping he learns to self soothe and that it goes smoothly.
Eating  Jackson has tried (and liked) several more foods including watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, pizza, tomatoes, rice, black beans. He continues to love “Lil crunchies” and is now more into cheerios.  He still hates puffs, and doesn’t really like yogis yet either.  He nurses in the morning and at night, and has 2 bottles of breastmilk a day.  He has had a couple formula bottles (but still strongly prefers breastmilk), but will have to learn to take more formula this month as the frozen breast milk stash is running low!  
Movement  Jackson started cruising very well around 10 ½ months.  He continues to crawl everywhere and is very very fast!  
Milestones  He is more consistently waving bye bye this month which is very cute.  He also learned how to turn the hot water faucet off when mommy was in the shower!
Favorite toys/activities  Anything that is not a toy- such as shower faucets, toilets, cabinets, Mommy’s shoes, magazines. He is into everything!  He also loves playing with bark mulch.
Dislikes  Sleep training (we don’t like it either but are hopeful that we will all sleep better in the end). Things seem to be improving already.
Words & sounds mamamama, dadadada, basically any baby babbles J
What we love  Watching him smile and delight in everything new he is discovering. 
What we don’t love  Sleep training.
What we’re looking forward to next month  Hopefully walking and more definitive 1st words
