Happy New Year!
Our baby Jack is celebrating his seven-month birthday today, and I find it so hard to believe that he is that old. I get a little sad thinking that he is halfway through his first year, but I know that tremendous fun and growth is in the future in his next stages of development.
Here's what is new with our littlest boy.
Jackson likes:
- He continues to be our happy, happy boy. He really loves his family and is just happy doing whatever as long as he's with his people.
- He loves to watch Sammy do ANYTHING. Jack thinks big brother is pretty cool. 😉
- Jack loves to scoot around on his playmat. He has gotten very good at pushing himself or rolling himself where he needs to be.
- MILKY. The boy loves his milky.
Jackson dislikes:
- At the moment, solid food. We've been practicing solid foods each day and he just really doesn't have much interest in them.
- Taking bottles for Daddy (sorry, Dustin!)
Eating:
- Baby Jack has tried several fruit/vegetable purees, but he is not a fan. He has had better luck with teething rusks and wafers.
- He continues to be a really great little nurser.
Sleeping:
- It took several weeks for Jack to get back on track with his nighttime sleep following all of the illnesses our family had. Things are heading in a better direction now!
- He takes really wonderful, long naps during the day. We are lucky!
Activities:
- He loves being held where the action is.
- Jack loves to give slobbery kisses, complete with sound effects. He'll press his open mouth to your cheek and go "awwwww."
- He loves bath time with brother!
- Jack can scoot his legs up underneath him and inch forward - kind of like an inch worm. He "crawls" this way, or rolls to get where he wants to be.
- He is getting more confident in his sitting!
- Jack LOVED Christmas...well, mostly he loved the Christmas wrapping paper. He held it in his hands and crinkled it up.
- This month he got his first 2 teeth! I feel like most children are cranky while they are getting teeth, but we didn't even know Jack had gotten teeth until he bit down on my finger while we were playing. Such a happy boy!
That's all for this month! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the month of December:
This picture is going to make me laugh for a long time. Jack was giving Dustin a difficult time about taking a bottle, so Dustin came over to my school so I could nurse him quickly (rather than pump) over my specials time. I laughed and told Dustin I felt like "uber eats."
...a sweet photo to end on. My dad made this toy box for Jack, and it matches the one in Sammy's room. Such a treasure!
