10 months

I think this last month flew by the fastest of them all so far.  Jackson is still what Ryan and I like to call the "perfect baby".  He is a joy, so happy and cooperative with whatever schedule we throw at him. 

Sleeping: He is sleeping like a rock star! Usually from 8-8 with 2 naps during the day. 

Eating: He still is eating 4 bottles 8 ounces each daily and pureed food solely but will take puffs from us without gagging on them now.  He seems interested in the food we eat but when we offer it to him he makes a disgusted face and rejects it.

Playtime: We are about to sadly retire the jumper and exersaucer because Jackson no longer is satisfied with being restrained and is enjoying his freedom too much.  Still fascinated with straws, my earlobes, shiny jewelry, doggie door, smoke alarm, screws, and now the fireplace that I cannot seem to barricade well enough to keep him out of.  He loves to laugh and be tickled, play peek a boo with froggie.  Froggie is still his best friend but he really wants Cooper and Charlie to be his BF, they still resist Jackson's advance for friendship. He still claps all the time, it always makes me feel good when he does it after I have finished singing him a song. 

Talking: Mainly "Da-Da" sounds, I swear he said DOG the other day, but who knows.  He loves those little guys.

Mobility: Crawling everywhere and pulling up onto his feet.  This has moved him up a class at church and sadly they consider him a toddler not a baby. (*tear from momma*)

Health and Wellness: He is still a very healthy guy and tough as a doornail! He still has no teeth, Ryan guesses that they will come in another month, I still love his gummy smile!  He has a very hard head to take all the falls he has had from trying to stand.  He is wearing 12-18 month size clothes and seems to be busting out of the 12 month size already.
 

Outings: We went to Houston to visit with Jackson's future TAMU roommate, Cole (who is still in utero), Jenny and Lucas Fried are great friends of ours and Ryan and Lucas were roommates at TAMU and high school best friends.  We have been to Waco a lot to play with cousins and outings with YA-YA!

**Ryan tried to bond with him making stuff in the garage and when he screwed some wood together Jackson made the most terrifying scream/cry I had ever heard, so we will hold of on the father/son construction team for now.

Just to think I will be planning his 1 year birthday so very soon makes me super sad, but we couldn't be luckier to have this little guy making our lives better one day at a time.
