9 Months

Wouldn't you just love to wake up to this every morning?? Man, I love this little boy! He really does make me laugh every day. He has the cutest little personality, and everyone that sees him automatically falls in love with him. That will be a good trait to have later in life :)

At 9 months:

- he has learned how to pull himself up on things, but he can't seem to figure out how to get down. He either falls on his bum then falls backwards flat on his back (ouch) or face plants (double ouch). None of this seems to bother him much, though, because he just gets right back up to doing what he was doing.
- he is still toothless. His full head of hair makes him look like a toddler, then he opens his mouth and has no teeth!
- he still LOVES to eat....anything. We can't eat in front of him and not give him some or he gets so mad at us! When we went to the doctor he only weighed 17 pounds, though. I think he's working all those calories off crawling around....oh, and he poops like 5 times a day. And they reek.
- he's kind of naughty. I swear he knows exactly what he's not supposed to do and where he's not supposed to go and does it anyway. When I say, "Jackson no!" He just looks at me, smiles, and keeps on going. What is he going to be like as a two-year-old??
- he's beginning to get stranger anxiety. So, all you family members and friends out there who we will see in August, don't be offended when he cries if you hold him. Sorry!
- he really isn't too much of a cuddler anymore :( Sad day.
- he has this cheesy grin (see above picture). It's like he's smiling like he has teeth but it's all gums, and it's awesome.
- his favorite toy is this little table that he stands at with things that make noise. If I put him on the ground out in the living room, he will crawl back to our room to play with it. It's the first thing he wants to do in the morning.

Welp, that's Jackson at 9 months. Just a busy busy little boy who keeps me on my toes all day, and we couldn't love him more!
