Alright so Jackson is already almost 8 moths old so I better get going on this update. These pictures were taken on his 7 month birthday so they are accurate! :)
Jackson got to celebrate his first Halloween and also his first Thanksgiving this month. He dressed as a shark for Halloween and we spent Thanksgiving at his Uncle Dylan and Aunt Jenn's house. He slept during trick or treating and also during Thanksgiving dinner. Next year will be better.
He had his first food this month. It was bananas and we are doing Baby Led Weaning which means he feeds himself and no purees. Since then we have introduced purees as well, so he does both.
After bananas, he also has had toast, avocado, eggs, puffs, and sweet potatoes. Now with Baby Led Weaning, he has had much more than that, I just haven't kept track.
He experienced his first Daylight Savings when we had to fall back. He did pretty well. It took a few days to get back to his normal schedule, but otherwise he was a good baby with the same change.
He learned to walk in his walker. I put him in it just to have him in a different spot for a change of scenery. I didnt think he would actually figure out how to walk in it, but he did and he is fast! Jane also loves to push him around in it and he loves that too!
On November 12, we decided no more swaddle. He was being swaddled with his arms out anyway so it wasn't that big of a change and he did good.
Jackson can say "Dada" now. Im not sure he knows that Chris is Dada, but he says it a lot. He also says "ba" a lot too!
He is trying SO hard to crawl. He is getting up on his knees, trying to scoot and also planking. He is ready to go!
He is starting to be very vocal. He likes to hear himself. Although he is not as vocal as Jane was.
He is officially in the big boy bath tub. We have put the infant tub away. He loves bath time especially if Jane is in with him.
Not sure how much he weighs but he is in some 6 months clothes but mostly 9 months. Footed pajamas are 12 months because he is long.
Look at this face!
Jackson is starting to look so big next to Jane. They are just the cutest and this is Jane's favorite part...taking pictures with him.
Jackson,
We love you so much! You are starting to be your own person and we love watching who you are turning into. You are still so relaxed and laid back, but you are also ready to GO and you want to keep up with your big sister.
Love,
Mommy!
