10 months old!!!

My little boo boo is 10 months old, and 10 month old Jackson is the best version yet!

This past month has been FULL of changes.  Good changes.  FUN changes!  Let's start with... little man is CRAWLING!!!  he was up rocking on his hands and knees for a little while, and after we got back from Hawaii he decided it was time, and off he went!  He is now a full blown crawler, cruising around the house.  He's pretty darn fast now too!!

Speaking of crawling, now that he can get himself wherever he wants to go, that boy is trouble!  He can find any object he's not supposed to have, and he RACES over to get it.  He loves computers, keys, remotes, cords, anything teeny tiny (notice a theme here?)  He loves crawling races/chase, and for some reason he loves to crawl under coffee tables and through tiny spaces and tunnels under/between furniture.  He loves playing peek-a-boo with anyone and everyone.

He got his first tooth, but still only has just the one.  He is getting better with his food, and loves pretty much most fruits, any orange vegetable, and anything he can feed himself!  He would eat hundreds of puffs all day long if he could.  He's still nursing 3-4 times a day, and yes, still at night.  He's stubborn and we just can't seem to break him of the night feeding.  All in good time, right?

He has become fascinated with wheels- so he loves cars/trucks/bikes, etc.  He likes to spin them and touch them and will just watch them, fascinated!  He also loves this train we just bought that goes around the Christmas tree.  LOVES it.  He likes sticking stuff in his mouth and crawling around with it in there.  He is trying to pull up to stand, but has not been successful yet, but will stand holding on to things for a really long time.  He loves to open and close drawers and cabinets and doors.

He always wakes up happy in the morning, and just plays in his crib until someone comes to get him.  And as soon as you walk in the room he kicks and flaps and flails with happiness.  He takes 2 naps a day, that are usually 1.5-2 hours, although he had a 3 hour nap the other day!  He goes to bed around 7 at night, and then is up 3-4 times after that.

He loves jumping, and being tickled, and doing anything with Riley.  He's a smart little guy, and will sit there and play with his shape sorter truck until he figures out how to get the shape out that he wants.  He has a temper and gets super mad if you take something away or if he wants something he can't have.  He is not afraid to let you know when he isn't happy!

I have no idea how much he weighs, but he is in 12 month clothes.  He knows who mama and dada and Riley are, and he is one loud, chatty little duded.  He says lots of different sounds, but dadadada is definitely his favorite thing to say.  He loves the water (bath and pool) and cries every time he has to get out of the bath at night.  He LOVES dogs, and will crawl right over to Bailey and pet her and grab her and kiss her.  He has tons of amazing facial expressions, and the best is when he clenches his whole face in excitement. 

He is just the sweetest, cutest little monkey and he seriously gets more and more fun each and every day.  LOVE love love him sooo much!
