7 MONTHS
Jackson is 7 months old now and as usual we can't believe how fast this has happened! Our baby boy is growing up right before our eyes. Jackson is turning into such a fun boy. He keeps us entertained at all times. There is certainly never a dull moment. He is especially busy this month because he is learning to crawl. He started getting on all fours and rocking back and forth which I couldn't believe was happening because he never really scooted anywhere. Next he began pulling his knees under himand then pushing them back out. Now He pulls them under and puts the rest of his body out flat infront of him. He occasionally does an actuall crawl, but not very often.
This month we had Jackson's very first Halloween. He was a cow and may I just say he was the cutest cow I have ever seen. He looked so adorable in his costume.
My mom, Kylie, Ashley, and Lily came to visit us. Jackson wasn't really sure what to think of Lily. She was pretty sweet to him for the most part, but when we turned our heads she always stuck in a jab or two lol. She also wanted to be a baby just like Jackson so we gave her a pacifier of her very own.
Jackson has been working very hard on sitting up this past month and he has now got it down. He likes to sit up like a big boy. He can even play catch while sitting up now. Watching him play catch has made us think that he may be left handed. We will see.
Jackson also had his first cold this month. He got it right after he got his flu shot and he has to get another flu shot this next month so I really hope he doesn't get sick again. He was so miserable and it lasted for three weeks. We finally took him to the doctor to make sure it wasn't serious. It was just a cold, but we did get to weigh him at the doctor's office and he weighed 19lbs 1 ounce.
And since this is the month of firsts for Jackson he got his first tooth! Teeth actually. He is getting both of his front bottom teeth at the same time. He is very slobbery and pretty grumpy. I just hope they come all of the way in very soon.
6 MONTHS
At six months old Jackson is such a lively boy! He is so much fun and brings so much joy into our home. He loves going outside and playing in the grass and watching the cars and people go by. We try to go outside everyday and go for a walk everyday. I am pretty bumbed because it is starting to get cold outside and I know I wont be able to take him out that much longer.
Jackson loves to jump in his jumper! (Thanks Auntie and Uncle Mike) He thinks it is so much fun and it is so fun to watch him. He gets very excited when we put him in there.
Jackson loves being a part of everything that mommy and daddy do. He helps with all the chores. He even got to help wash the truck!
Jackson absolutely loves his dad! (And who wouldn't?!) His dad is so good with him and Jackson gets so excited when it is time for daddy to come home and play.
What a cutie!
