9 Months!

Jackson is now 9 months old!  You won't believe how he is growing!  I can't believe that I have to start planning his first birthday party soon!  

Jackson continues to amaze us.  He has the most pleasant personality.  He is always smiling and loves being social.  He is so close to crawling!  Though he isn't crawling yet, he is somewhat mobile by scooting and leaning.  He has 3 bottom teeth and will soon have a top tooth!  He is dabbling with finger foods like noodles, mushy apples and egg yolks.  His favorite is puffs.  We are working on the sippy cup, but he still mostly uses it for a chew toy.  He is babbling all the time.  He has started pointing at things and is so curious about the world around him.

At his 9 month appointment, our sweet little man weighed in at a whopping 23.5 lbs.  He is 30 inches long and  his head is 19.75 cm.  He continues to be in the 95th percentile for height and weight, but is still off the charts in head size.  He is a healthy happy BIG guy!  

This is the best we could do :)

I just want to play!

Maybe he is learning to say "Ma-ma" :)
