On Wednesday, my little Jack turned 9 months old! It's pretty hard to believe that his first birthday is just 3 months away. He is so much fun! His latest trick his waving hi and bye bye to everyone that he sees! He can say "Mama," "Dada," and "Huh"? I never realized how much I used the word "huh?" until Jackson started saying it all the time. For example, "Jackson are you sleepy, huh?," "Do you need your diaper changed, huh?," etc. Now, I will ask him something, and he looks at me, and says, "huh?" We are also adjusting to having to wear shoes....we were able to avoid this the first 6 or 7 months of his life, but he looks a little silly bundled up in a jacket, hood, and hat, with no shoes or socks on. We usually have to do a little scavenger hunt in the car before we get out of the car to look for two little shoes and socks. He is also very mobile. He is not technically crawling everywhere, but he gets where he needs to go by scooting, sliding, and rolling. He can also do the splits! He also has a fetish for electrical cords. He loves to chew on them and shake them. We have unplugged almost everything in his reach, and hid the cords, for fear our child will injure himself.....I thought this was an issue that only my son has, but when we went for his wellness check on Wednesday, a warning was listed on a sheet from the pediatrician (along for a sticker to put on our telephone with the number for poison control) about keeping electrical cords away from children....This must be a common fascination of babies that I was completely unaware of.At Jackson's wellness appointment on Wednesday, Jackson got a clean bill of health. He weighs 18 pounds, 8 ounces (25th percentile), and is 29 inches long (75th percentile). I forgot his head circumference measurement, but it was in the 75th percentile, as well. Dr. Wiley said that he looked great, and was very pleased with the way his head is rounding out. The flat spot on the back of his head had concerned us a few months ago. Jackson may also begin eating finger foods and some table foods now, so he enjoyed a few treats off of the Thanksgiving table on Thursday.

the poison control number may come in handy. I have personally called it twice before austin was 2. once for "drinking" motrin. he got the lid off and the second time for eating a poisonous plant that can cause severe swelling of the throat. anyway, Jackson is a doll and his pictures are starting to really show him growing. and also, it won't be long you will be in line for that HOT item for christmas
Javan saw that last pic of Jackson and said 'aaaah baby sleeping' - thats a really beautiful pic. You're blessed with a gorgeous, healthy little boy.
