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 [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

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...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
