One year ago, in the early morning hours, our little boy Jack decided to make his arrival (three weeks early!) to the world. Since then, our house has been filled with even more love and laughter than before. Here's an update of Jackson Nicholas, now that he's officially one year old.
Jackson likes:
- He is my little "hip baby" and is his happiest when he's being held by mama. I've learned to complete a lot of tasks one handed.
- Jack absolutely loves his brother, and is working so hard to keep up with him. Sammy and Jack belly laughing together is one of my favorite sounds in the world.
- Jack loves to be outside! He loves to blow bubbles and swing.
Jackson dislikes:
- Truly, not much makes him sad. The only thing that might make him upset is if I have to put him down when he'd rather be held.
Eating:
- We officially made it to a year of nursing, and I'm very proud of that milestone. Jack is a great little nurser and takes his milky very seriously. 😉
- Jack is up to 19 safe foods which is so exciting! We recently had to trial cow's milk to see if he would have an FPIES reaction, but it is a safe food for him. Having cow's milk on his "safe food" list has opened up a lot of doors, like animal crackers, waffles, and graham crackers. This is very exciting for our entire family. 😊
Activities:
- Jack is pulling himself up on anything that will hold still long enough, and he's beginning to cruise along furniture. He will let go of what he's holding with one hand, and try to reach to get things along the floor. He's not walking yet, but he'll get there in time. 😊
- Jack says "mama," "dada," "bubba" (brother, for Sammy), "dog dog," and "nah nah" (for no), and "nom nom." He's starting to use sign language, which we love! So far he can sign "dog" and "more."
I remember when I first heard Jack's cries, I turned my head towards Dustin and said "I love him so much!" It is amazing how you can instantly feel so much love for your children. Jack is determined, snuggly, and happy. He loves to be with his family, and makes us laugh with his antics daily. Jack has added a tremendous amount of joy to our family, and we just can't imagine life without our happy boy.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of him from the past month:
