Month 8 in review

Well this has definitely been a month of firsts for Jackson. He started cruising along the furniture, climbing on and over everything, we went to the zoo (and left our camera!), he stayed in the nursery during the entire church service and we're cutting tooth number 5. Teething this time around hasn't been nearly as bad as it was when we were cutting four at the same time but he still doesnt feel good and you can tell. Jackson's gotten so much better at 'sitting down' from his standing position...at first it was really scary but now he just plops right down like such a big boy.

The boy is very tired of baby food - I think it's the mushiness. If you give him 'real' food he gobbles it up faster than you can feed it to him so I guess we are definitely phasing out of the baby food convenience and into big boy mode. Currently he loves cottage cheese(well, cheese in general, bananas, avocado,'puffs', crackers and his trusty earth's best teething biscuits. This month we add in protein so that should be interesting.

I can't believe he will be a year old in 3 months...that just doesnt seem real.

He's FINALLY saying mama - I thought he was only going to say dadda...I was seriously considering changing my name to that!

We have a really big week ahead of us...Nonni and funcle are coming to visit tonight and Aunt MayMay is coming on Wednesday! Then we head to Arkansas for the big 4th of July bash at Gina's... we can't wait! Many pictures to come...so we'll keep you posted.
