Eleven Months of Jackson Nicholas

I can't even believe it, but Jack is eleven months old today! It really feels like the last half of his first year has just flown. In June we'll have a one year old!

Jackson likes:

  • MOVING!
  • Bath time 
  • His big brother - he absolutely idolizes Sammy! 
  • Reading books 
  • Being held 

Jackson dislikes:

  • Basically the one thing that makes Jackson upset is when we're holding him and place him down. Haha. He will arch his back in an attempt to continue being held. 
Eating: 
  • We continue to work to build Jack's "safe food" list, which can be a scary process for all of us. We have to test single ingredient foods one at a time, over the course of a few days before it can be counted as "safe." At this point, the only known FPIES trigger foods Jack has are oats and rice, and we're hoping that's all he will ever have reactions to. 
  • He loves his milky still. 😊
Activities: 
  • Jack gets more and more mobile each day. He is pulling himself up but isn't cruising along furniture quite yet. He can climb stairs and is quick! 
  • Jack can say "mama," "dada," and "baba" (brother). He can sign "dog" while saying "dog dog" and can sign "ball" when he says "ball." Lately he'll say "NO NO NO" when we're doing something he doesn't particularly enjoy, like a diaper change. 😉 He also says "nom nom" when he is eating his food. 
  • Jack thinks that Sammy has hung the moon, and loves to play with him. Sammy is able to get the biggest giggles out of him! 
  • He is VERY good at blowing raspberries, and likes to show us all day long. 
Everyone who meets him often says, "he is just such a happy boy!" and it is so true. Our little guy was dealt quite the hand with his difficult FPIES diagnosis, but right now it hasn't seemed to influence his temperament. We can't hardly wait for summer to be here. I think it's going to be a fun one! 

Here are some favorite pictures from this last month:

  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

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  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
