Happy 8 Months Birthday Jack

Today Jack turned 8 months old. I am loving being off work to spend more time with him. It makes me realize how much time I am not with him when I am working. Maybe one of these days... :)

Here are pictures of Jack with his sock monkey!

I know you guys probably can't see... but there are 3 teeth coming in on top.

Jack makes the funniest faces sometimes.

Thank you Dixie and Pops for the Sock Monkey Ornament! We had to take it off the tree for Jack to play with for his 8 months pictures.

Sucking in that bottom lip like always.

Such a ham!

What Jack is up to these days:

• Sitting up like a champ
• Trying to eat puffs (he would rather play with them)
• Experimenting with a sippy cup
• Scooting on his bottom (not very far, but enough to get what he wants)
• Jack has pulled up twice to standing position.
• Reaching for his parents
• Crying when you take something away from him
• Talking to strangers especially other kiddos and dogs (no stranger anxiety YET)
• Grinding his teeth <-- hurts Momma's ears!! (he now has 5 teeth- 2 on the bottom and 3 on the top)
• Bouncing and jumping every chance he gets
  
• He loves making noise... whether it is by talking/singing/screaming or by banging on his toys... he loves to hear different sounds, especially if he is the one making them.
