8 Months



Jackson's seventh month of life has been so fun! It has been somewhat uneventful in terms of milestones and new tricks, but he sure is an easy-going fun-loving kiddo.

One of my favorites parts of the day with him has been just before he goes to bed. Adam and I try to take turns and read a few stories each night to him. We get a stack of his board books and put them on our right side. We will pull one out and start reading. Has decided he has his favorites and the rest he things is boring and so he will either 1. keep trying to close the book while we are reading, or 2. start looking to our right for the other books that are sitting there and try to pick them up. It is so funny to see such a little baby already have opinions. When we are done with the story we stack the books to our left. He will watch us put it down and then he will immediately look to the right to see what book will be next.
Lately he has been going to bed really late at night because of activities going on that Adam and I have been going to. So we try to get him to take a late nap, if he doesn't then by like 10:00 he is passed the tired and exhausted stage and moves right into delirious when he laughs at every little thing and thinks anything you do is absolutely hilarious. It's so funny.

Note-able things I might want to remember someday...
*He learned to smile with his mouth closed
*He has started to enjoy sitting with his toys and playing by himself
*He has started getting nervous or scared when some people hold him
*He has started to do some self feeding with Cheerios and Wagaon Wheels.
*He loves playing in the faucet when the tub is on.
*He always get excited when I unlock the door to come home
*He got in an indoor pool and wasn't sure what he thought of it. Just acted nervous the whole time.
*When he gets excited his feet started kicking and his arms start moving and his hands go "open and shut" like a billion times.

I can just see his hands opening and closing "like a billion times." That is so cute. We sure miss him. I bet Maddox and him would love to play together or at least inspect one another. Maybe after the holidays we could get them together. Hope you guys are doing well!
