9 Months!!

It's already that time again - Jack is another month older! It's amazing how quickly it goes and how much he changes from month to month.

Jack is a very busy guy. He can't sit still or cuddle. He's always on the go. Making messes. Closing doors. Pulling himself up on everything. Playing peek-a-boo. Peek-a-boo is his favorite game. He loves to pull blankets, clothes, doors, anything around, in front of his face and then pop out while you say peek-a-boo. He is also getting better at waving and will give you kisses if you ask about half of the time.
Jack knows who Mommy and Daddy are and he definitely knows when Mommy and Daddy are not there, as his grandparents can now attest to. If Mommy isn't there, many tears flow. He loves to crawl after Mommy and Daddy and see what we're up to when we leave the room. He's a great little shadow.
Jack still struggles with sleeping. Night time, nap time, all times. I guess when you're so busy, you just don't have time to sleep.

Jack has recently decided he's very independent about eating. He doesn't like to be fed, he wants to do it himself. He's been eating a lot of steamed veggies and fruit cut up into little bites, while Mommy tries to sneak in some bites of baby food. He still loves his Puffs and Yogurt Melts. And he has a love affair with bread.

It's amazing how quickly time goes. It seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital with him. On that note, congrats to Jack's Aunt Amanda and Uncle John on the birth of their baby girl this morning! Jack's so excited to meet his new cousin!
