Jackson at 8 months

Hard to believe that my little guy is 8 months old.  Wait.  My BIG guy is 8 months!

Jackson weighs 23 pounds and is 28 inches long!  He is wearing size 4 diapers, Size 12 month clothes, and size 3 shoes!  He doesn't miss a meal!

Here's what else he's doing at 8 months old:

-MOVING!  He hasn't mastered crawling forward on his hands and feet yet, but he can get himself across the entire living room by army crawling, rolling, scooting, and/or crawling backwards.  It's usually a combination of all of those moves.

-Moves from his belly to a sitting position

-Starting to try and pull up

-Will stand up to furniture and hold on for a few minutes

-Has 3 teeth!  2 on the bottom and just cut one on the top with about 3 more coming soon.

-Waves hi and bye

-Gives high five

-Loves mum-mums, crackers, and mashed potatoes

-Likes baby food, but prefers his bottle (favorites: sweet potatoes and corn, any fruit)

-Sleeps from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., waking once to eat around 5 a.m.

-Takes 2-3 naps a day

-Likes the exersaucer, his activity table, and rolling a ball back and forth

-Has about outgrown his infant seat and will be moving to a bigger seat soon.

-LOVES his sister!  He just adores Ellie and she feels the same way about him.

-Loves the dogs.  He will pull Wylie's hair so hard, and he just lets him.  Pistol never lets him get close enough.

We love you, Jackson!  You're growing so fast!
