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:

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement, where most of
