Jackson is 9 months old!

Another month gone by & Jackson is now 9 months old! Counting down 3 months til he turns one... the plans have begun for his party & will be here before we know it!

This past month Jackson has really been enjoying eating solids... he never appears to be full! He LOVES peas & the Happy Baby puffs, carrots not so much, baby oatmeal not at all, apples & pears okay, and he likes green beans. And he definitely still prefers chunks of food instead of pureed food. We're still at 2 teeth on bottom with no others in sight... very different from Isabella who just kept popping them out. But at least I don't have to deal with teething with all the winter illnesses we've been having.

As far as mobility goes, we aren't off & crawling yet. Which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I know he'll be running soon enough, so I'm in no rush to have to child proof the house! He does get up on his knees, shins, & hands & bounces a bit... but he's not commiting to it yet. I wonder if it might be our hard floors & him always having his legs covered (which makes it pretty slippery). I've found him on his back/belly a lot from him falling over from this knee/hand position. And we don't even have a rug for him to practice on except in Isabella's room. Ah well... he'll get there. He does scoot quite well & can get across the room that way pretty good although slow (which is good!).

He's started clapping & I've seen him wave a couple of times. He gets so excited if you clap & say "yay!" He loves to take baths with his sister. His little face just lights up when he sees her come into the tub. And she's pretty happy to join him too. He has lots of fun splashing the water but then acts shocked when he gets water in his face. :) But he keeps going to perform for mommy & to get more laughs.

Sleep is still a major work in progress... that's all I'll say about that!
