Happy 8 Months, Jackson!

Dear Jackson,

You are now 8 months old! What a sweet 8 months it has been! Your crawling has really taken off. You are not afraid to crawl on any surface. Tile, no problem. Grass, as long as you can grab a handful and try it, cement, you got it, carpet, you are super fast! When I leave the room you're in, you are quickly crawling right behind me. You are so adorably cute!

Fun Facts:

Weight: 22 lbs
Sleep: 11-12 hours, you are a 7pm bedtime baby and get up between 6:30-7am
Naps: Usually two a day, one morning for 30 minutes to an hour, one afternoon nap for 1-2 hours. Morning nap around 9:30am, afternoon nap around 2.
Diaper: size 4
Clothes: 12-18 months
Solid foods: 3 meals a day, we started feeding you baby food because you get very hungry and haven't mastered feeding yourself fast enough. You eat a variety of stage 2 foods, mushed up foods we prepare, and enjoy guacamole. You're not a super big fan of meat but have eaten a little fish.
Nursing: You nurse 5-6 times a day
You still have just two teeth, both bottom front. Other ones will probably come through soon.
You have an infectious laugh! Very precious!

Likes:

Being held and carried. You really would love for mommy to carry you all day as I get my work done.
Playing with your brother and sister.
Bathtime
Nursing
Eating solids and drinking water
Chewing on teething toys
Reading books
Crawling and exploring
Standing and pulling up
Jumping on our laps or in your door jumper
Sleeping on your tummy
Going places and seeing new people
Smiling at people
Bible class when you're not tired

Dislikes:

Laying down to get a diaper change
Laying on your back in general
Being put down and me leaving the room
Car rides

You have such a sweet personality and are a very calm, laid back, and truly happy baby. We all love you very much and love watching you learn and grow.

Love,
Mom
