Happy 9 Months Jackson!

 Jackson! I can't believe you are 9 months old today!!! You are such a sweetie pie and such a happy baby! your top two teeth cut through finally... the one on the right came through about a week ago and just in the past couple days the second cut through... thank goodness! they were hurting you so much!
you were saying "da da da da" the other day and "hi" but you dont talk too often so we are waiting for you to say those words again... you are a quiet baby unless you are super excited or sleepy... you like to make noises when you are going to sleep. it's so cute. like you are singing yourself to sleep...
you dont sleep through the night every night but once in a while you give me a break!
you got your first boo boo the other day :( hit your head on the bathroom floor and got two bumps on your head... poor baby... momma iced it for an hour and by the next day they were much better!
you have the best time playing with your big brother too. he is so fun. of course he is a little rough at times but you surprise us. you are so tough! i think that's why Elijah plays with you so rough cuz most the time you are fine with it. you love to play with balls in the hallway with your brother too... 
you love to eat too! i have been giving you mandarin oranges, carrots, bananas, cereal with prunes, snacks and you love your cup! i put lots of ice in it and water and it keeps you cool.
the other day mommy got a new bike and a ride for you boys to sit in and you love it. you sat next to Elijah and enjoyed riding with him... it is definitely something to entertain you with! you love being outside! you love the water too... you take baths in our bath tub now... and the other day you tried to put your face in the water to drink it. ha ha... i have to watch you closely for sure!
sometimes you will be standing and let go and take a step to grab something else to stand at... daddy and mommy have both seen you do that! you will definitely be walking before your first birthday... makes us proud and a little sad. you are in too much of a hurry to grow up...
you absolutely love your mommy, daddy and big brother... if i leave the room and come back you come crawling to me... so cute... i will put you down and you will go play and then look for me, come get in my lap and then get down again... you have so much fun with daddy and reach out to him so much... he is definitely you second favorite person (besides me of course) 
we love you so much Jackson. i am so proud to be your Mama!
love, Mama
