Ten Months of Jackson Nicholas

Jackson Nicholas is 10 months old today, so that means it's time for his monthly update! 

This month was a really big one for our Baby Jack.

Jackson likes:

  • Jackson always has loved to be right in the middle of the action, and that remains the case. He will crawl around to be closer to his people...especially to his big brother. 
  • He loves bath time with Sammy. 
  • He loves listening to books! His eyes get really big and he makes all sorts of noises when he listens to a story. 

Jackson dislikes:

  • Jack likes to be held by his mama and sometimes gets really offended when I set him down. 😂

Eating:

  • Jack still prefers his "milky" but has made some improvements with solids this month. He really loves to eat my homemade sourdough bread. 
  • This was a big month for Jack as he was officially diagnosed with FPIES (Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome). He saw an allergist on March 19th, and had some further testing done. At this point, we know that he is allergic to oats and rice, so he must avoid all foods with those ingredients to avoid reactions. I shared more about Jack's FPIES Diagnosis here if you'd like to learn more about it. 

Activities: 

  • Jack is moving all over the place! He is army crawling and just starting to crawl on his hands and knees. 
  • He is beginning to pull himself up on things, but mostly he pulls himself up on us. 
  • His best party trick is shaking his head "no" when we say "no, no, no."
  • He can say "Mama," "Dada," and "Dog Dog." When he sees our dog Roo, he will sign "dog" and say "dog dog." 
  • Anything big brother has, Jackson wants. Who needs baby toys, anyways?
  • This month Jack got his top two teeth, and his eye teeth are starting to come in as well. 
  • He's got lots of light blonde hair coming in, and his eyes are big and blue! 
I can't believe Jack is turning 10 months old! This time last year we were putting the finishing touches on our nursery, and I was just nesting away. We have a hard time remembering what life was like without him. 😊

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!

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
