Jackson is 8 Months Old!









Jackson, at 8 months you are:
  • soooooo close to crawling. You move all around the floor but you do it by rolling or scooting. In the crawling position you only move backwards.
  • sporting a mouth full of teeth. The doctor said you are going against the flow because it is normal to get the bottom two teeth and then the top four. You have four bottom teeth and one top tooth.
  • eating meats now. Mommy was silly and tried to give you talapia for your first meat. You gagged and spit it out. You love chicken with sweet potatoes, apples, and nutmeg.
  • not the most predictable napper. Sometimes you sleep for an hour and a half but mostly you just have little short naps of about 30 minutes. Mommy has finally stopped stressing about it.
  • soothed by the Mommy Loves You song. It's to the tune of "Oh My Darling" and we go through Daddy, Nana, Papa, Mimi, Grandpa, Claire Bear, and Lily. As soon as I start singing it, you settle down.
  • eating crackers and puffs. You love Saltines so I always take some in your diaper bag in case you get fussy.
  • developing quite the personality. You flirt with everyone when we go to the store. I get so many compliments about your eyes and your smile.
  • funny in a swing. You love swinging when you are going backwords but you get a very serious face when the swing comes forward. I don't think you like the wind in your face.
  • obsessed with the remote and Mommy's phone.
  • often caught chewing on the dog toys. I thought I would have trouble keeping Claire from your toys but you are the one stealing hers. Gross!
  • riding in a big boy car seat now. Even though you were on 20 pounds, it was getting too hard for me to carry you in your seat. You didn't really like being in there anymore anyway. Now you get to ride in the front of the cart too!
