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:

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 ...

Friday Favorites [6-14-2024]

  I hate to be the one to point it out...but how in the world is June almost halfway over?! I would like to hit the "slow down" button on summer, please. 😉 Like usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from our week. Here we go! You'll notice that many of my "favorites" are food related this week. One of the reasons I love summer is that the cooking is easy, and I can take some time making things I typically wouldn't have time for. Wednesday evening we grilled pork chops and I was hunting for a side dish. I found the ingredients for taco dip and we gobbled it right up. Taco dip is basically a salad, yes?  Jack (and big brother!) have been loving water play this summer. It has been extra warm this week, so it's been a great way to beat the heat.  We had burgers this week using my very favorite  recipe . This meal is probably one of Dustin's most loved meals! Ugh. I love watermelon. I ate SO MUCH of it during my preg...

Friday Favorites [7-10-2026]

  It's Friday!  I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go!  Easy favorite was our Fourth of July! We had a festive day - we went to our parade in the morning and hosted a party in the evening. Look at these cute boys!  Big fan of fireworks and sparklers over here.  Sammy's favorite from the week was the visiting frogs and axolotls to our local library. He has big dreams of owning an axolotl - he's done extensive research 😉 - but we've come to the conclusion that the age of 14 seems reasonable to own an axolotl. Haha. He was very excited to see them up close and in person!  Our slow mornings of a cold brew + the boys playing in the basement are my FAVORITE for sure! I love these days.  Roo's favorite was easily sitting on my lap while I read outside. If you see a dachshund shaped tan line on my legs, no you don't. 😅 I have been eating this  High Protein Chicken Salad  on repeat for lunches! It i...
