Happy 9 Months Birthday Jack

WOW! I cannot believe that in just a few months, Jack will be a year old! Everyday he is learning to do something new. It's such an amazing thing to watch and be a part of. :) Soooo... taking the sock monkey pictures was quite the challenge this time around, now that Jack has learned to crawl. It took us two different times yesterday to get some pictures taken.

Round 1-

See ya later Sock Monkey!

"But I don't want to sit still for the pictures!!"
"FINE! I'll sit, but I won't smile!"

Round 2- Lunch consumed and his afternoon nap complete...

Enough pictures!! Time to play!
This is a picture we took about a week or so ago! I just thought I would add it in because it's such a great picture of my boys!

What Jack is up to these days:


  • Crawling EVERYWHERE! He has a "Kick Stand Crawl" as his Daddy likes to call it. See this video to see what I mean.
  • Pulling himself to standing on EVERYTHING! John lowered his matress as low as it will go.
  • Mastered tummy to sitting position.
  • Feeding himself crunchies and biter biscuits (he doesn't put much else in his mouth besides his fingers and his bottle-- lately though, he's been trying out some of his toys)
  • Biting his Momma!! He has bitten me SEVERAL times and IT HURTS!
  • Tolerating eating meats. Doesn't really care for them right now.
  • LOVES fruit!
  • Talking more and more (I swear he said, "Momma" the other day. :) Maybe wishful thinking) He can say "Dada" like no other!
  • Discovered how to open the cabinets in the kitchen. TIME FOR LOCKS!!
  • Still LOVES the remotes. I really want to buy him a universal remote just for him. But I'm sure he will still want ours.
  • Jack is now drinking formula. Switched from breastmilk to formula with no problem at all.
  • Finally found a sippy cup he will actually drink from. Still doesn't drink from it that much. We will keep trying!!
  • Jack has 6 teeth now. 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. He has another one on the bottom trying to come in.
  • Mimics his Momma and Daddy.
  • Loves playing with doors.
  • Jack is dancing now! It's sooo stinking cute!
  • My favorite thing of all that he is doing right now is... GIVING KISSES!!
