Nine months of Jackson Nicholas

Our Jackson Nicholas is 9 months old today! He's the happiest, smiliest boy, and we just can't imagine life without him. Here's a little update about our boy:

Jackson likes:

  • Jack LOVES his brother. He is constantly watching him and is fascinated by everything he does. 
  • He loves to jump in his jumper. 
  • Jack is on the move and crawls all over the place. 

Jackson dislikes:

  • Jack doesn't love a nap-on-the-go. He prefers to be in his crib with his blackout curtains and sound machine. 
  • Stranger danger is in full force over here as well. 

Eating:

  • We continue to work through Jack's safe foods and rotate those during meal times. Right now his safe foods are broccoli, bananas, strawberries, apples and avocados. We're ready for his allergist appointment this month so we can have a plan moving forward. 
  • He's a great little nurser and loves his milky. 

Sleeping:

  • Jack does a pretty good job of sleeping, but sometimes wakes through the night. He had lots of discomfort from getting his top two teeth this month that kept waking him up! 

Activities: 

  • Jack can army crawl, support his own weight with some help while he stands, and is sitting really great on his own. 
  • He gets up on all fours and "rocks" back and forth. 
  • He loves paper and anything crinkly. 
  • Jack loves being read to. He looks very intently at the pictures and gets so excited! 
  • He has learned a couple of tricks. He'll shake his head "no" when we say "no, no, no," and can clap his hands. 
  • He babbles and "sings" to us often! His first word was "mama." 
Here are some of my favorite pictures from this month:

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today! 

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
