8 months!!!!!

J is 8 months old and getting more fun everyday.
Right now his schedule is pretty much the same as it was at 7 months.
Here is what he is up to:
Loves books (he literally laughs every time I read him a story)
Loves jumping and kicking still
Enjoys music
Scooting and rocking
Log rolls to get to things
Babbling a ton of different sounds (no ma-ma's just da-da though) :(
Laughs a lot.
Really seems into bright things. Especially the iPhone (gee, I wonder where he gets that from)
Likes to feed himself puffs!
Tried to give him some thicker stage 3 foods. He was not quite ready.
Plan on trying finger foods and more at 9-10 months. Excited to see what he likes!

Jackson the Snowman!

Thankful

Jackson spent his first Thanksgiving in South Carolina. We were so thrilled he was surrounded by lots of love and family. He was not feeling like his usual self. Unfortunatley, he had a bad cold and was teething the entire time we were there. So we tried to soothe him with lots of walks on the beach and rocking on the porch. He loves the sound of the ocean. The only time he would take a solid nap on the trip was when we rocked him on the back porch. He enjoyed the breeze and the waves seemed to really relax him. He is quite the "drama king" when he get sick. I guess a lot of boys are like that. :)
Nontheless, we enjoyed giving him "extra" love while he was under the weather and I know he loved being with everyone. Hopefully he will stay healthy and happy for awhile now.
We are beyond thankful for all our blessings! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!
