I want to keep track of what he is doing each month so here is what Jack has been up to:
- He is so talkative. He babbles all the time, it's hilarious, I love it!!
- He is still wearing a size 3 diaper. He is wearing a few 9 month onesies and jonjon's but can now wear 12 month. The 12m are still a little big but not too bad.
This morning I was going to put him in this shirt that I got made and it's a 12m and it was too tight :(, so that's one shirt he never got to wear. It's amazing out of all these clothes you buy for your baby he or she usually only wears half of them...haha.
- He is scooting. Not crawling yet but i feel like it's just a matter of time. He can turn and scoot and roll all over the place. He doesn't have a problem getting to something he wants.
- He loves pulling hair. I swear everytime I pick him up he always grabs a hunk of my hair....ouch!!
- As far as eating goes, he takes a 6oz morning bottle, then around 8 he eats oatmeal and a stage 2 fruit, then he has a 6oz mid morning bottle which is about to be switched to a sippy cup next week, then he eats a stage 2 veggie and half a stage 2 fruit. He then will take a 5oz sippy cup in the afternoon and then the other half of fruit along with some puffs or veggie melts. He is a great eater. The doc said to start out just replacing one bottle with a sippy cup and then two weeks later replace two bottles with the sippy. He has done great with the sippy so I'm hoping he will do fine when we replace 2 bottles with the sippy. He will still have his bottle first thing in the morning and then right before bed.
I love that he is doing good with his cup but it makes me a little sad too bc that means my baby is growing up and wanting to do more things on his own. Yes I know this is a good thing but it just makes this mama just a little sad.
- He is getting better at picking up things like puffs or veggie melts and feeding himself. He can pick them up fine but when he picks them up they are in the middle of his hand so when he puts his hand in his mouth the puff sticks to the middle of his hand and doesn't get in his mouth. He is getting better at it though. Practice makes perfect!
- He is now standing....YaY!!! For the longest time he would not and I mean would not put any pressure on his legs. He would jump in his jumperoo but that was it. Then whenever we would try to hold him up he would try to jump and wouldn't just stand there. Well now he will stand, I can tell he wants to pull up on things but he hasn't quite figured out how to do it just yet. It's so crazy for me to think that in a few months we will have a walker...ahhhh!! Then he will be all over the place!
- He gets so excited when Rob or I walk in the room. I love that he knows who we are now!
- He has the absolutely most precious laugh. I love when we get his tickle box turned over!
- He still has no teeth, not even one. He doesn't even have one coming in that I can see or feel. I'm not too worried bc I'm pretty sure no kids that I know of grew up with no teeth...haha. I love his gummy little smile :)!!
- He still sleeps with a paci, that is the only time he has his paci usually. We are thinking that in the next month we are going to take it away and see how it goes. I don't think he is super attached to it but we will see. I want to take it away before he gets to the age and realizes what it is.
- He is still an awesome sleeper and has been since 3 months old. Rob and I have been very lucky! He doesn't really want to be rocked to sleep anymore. We just lay him in the crib, put his blanket on him and his paci in and he will play around for a few minutes and then he is out! He goes to bed around 6:15ish every night and doesn't wake up till about 6:15 the next morning :)!
I absolutely LOVE having a video monitor in his room. It's fun to watch him, he rolls all over that bed. One night I put him down, went and got the monitor and he had turned on his stomach and was playing. I put the monitor down and proceeded to wash bottles. When I finished washing the bottles I looked at the monitor but I couldn't see him. So I went back in the room bc I had figured he got to the very end of the bed and I was just going to move him back up. I went in his room and this is what I found...
- He has started to devlop a little attitude. When he doesn't get his way he pitches a fit and by a fit I mean he screams, arches his back, flings himself backwards and turns red. I don't know where this came from, I am hoping it's just a little phase and it will go away.
- He has been saying Dada a lot. He loves his Dada!
Jack, you are so much fun these days and you have the cutest little personality. Your dad and I are so blessed to have you in our lives. I always look forward to coming home to you every night! You are our world. We are enjoying watching you grow and learning new things every day. You always amaze us! We love you more than words can say!!!
