Happy 9 month birthday Jackson!! Mommy and Daddy love you so much! We are so proud of you!
Everyday Jackson is learning so much. He is now a great crawler. He can pull himself up to standing. He can kneel on his own without holding onto anything. He can go from sitting to crawling to sitting again. He can pull up and sit back down (thank goodness!). He can feed himself really well, his pincer grasp is better everyday.
He can say “Momma”, “Dadda”, “nini”, “nana”, “baba”, “hey”, lots and lots of babbling. He’s a talker just like his daddy!
No cruising yet, but I don’t think it will be long. Even though he LOVES to feed himself, he wants nothing to do with the sippy cup. He is perfectly content to let me feed him his bottle. So, those are things we are working on. He doesn’t quite understand that you have to turn the cup/bottle up the drink from it. Straw cups are for biting in Jackson’s world.
We love you Man Cubby!!!
Keep your fingers crossed that Jackson will have gained weight when we go see Dr. Jennie on Wednesday for his 9 month check up!!
Agh! My page didn't show that you updated your blog for some reason, so I've had to catch up! That's so funny that you went to see Dr. Jennie today. We were there, too! We saw someone else, but when I walked down the hall, I heard Dr. Jennie's voice in one of the rooms. Wouldn't that have been funny if we were there at the same time?
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, Katelyn has never lifted up her sippy cup. She holds them, but won't lift them. I never know what's normal or if it's a delay because of her prematurity. Dr. Jennie said that babies just have a preference. Each of her 2 daughters liked different kinds. So that made me feel better. Of course you don't want him to chew the straws, but he'll learn not to do that. He sounds like a very smart boy!
