- I move 10 hours of the day...the other 14 I sleep. Notice the blurry picture? It's because I never stop moving!
- I weigh about 21 pounds and wear 12 month clothes. I wear a size 3 diaper during the day, but Mama puts me in a size 4 sleep diaper at night.
- I drink a bottle of formula in the morning and a bottle at bedtime. During the day I drink my milk out of a sippy cup...I am a big boy! Mama is going to try to start my morning bottle in a cup this week.
- I love to eat, but don't like baby food any longer. Mama is having to get really creative with mealtimes so I get all my veggies in! My favorite foods are baked sweet potatoes, whole green beans, black eyed peas, bananas, mandarin oranges, and yogurt (note to other new moms: look for Yobaby 3 in 1....found in refrigerated yogurt section. It is organic and has a serving a fruit and veggies. It is Jack's favorite!). Other new favorites are waffles, goldfish, any kind of cracker, cheerios, cereal bars, anything Mama is eating :)
- I am not walking yet, but Mama thinks it will be any day. I cruise along all the furniture and I love to walk holding Mama and Daddy's hands. I am a little cautious and when I realize I have forgotten to hold on and I am standing alone, I will slowly squat to the ground.
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cuba and Cuba is beginning to like me a little. Mama says "Where's Cuba?" and I take off in search for him. I really like to pull his hair and give him bites of my food. Cuba will get his toys out and bring them to me to play with. He is a sweet furry brother.
- Speaking of brothers, did you hear I'm going to be a big brother?!?!?! I'm not real sure what this means, but Mama and Daddy are mighty excited about it. I know that in a few months, I get to move into the room with the bunk beds! (Mama did just burst my bubble and told me I will still be sleeping in a crib and not on the top bunk....bummer).
- I still love my sleep! I go to sleep around 7:00 every night and get up at 6:15 every morning. I then take a nap from 8-9 and from 12:30-3:00. I am a champion napper these days and never ever cry when Mama puts me in my bed. Sometimes, when she comes to get me up, I don't want to get out of my crib :) Mama says she is 1 lucky mom to have such a great sleeper!
- I get so excited when my daddy comes home from work. Mama says, "Jack, Daddy's coming home" and I crawl real fast to stand in my chair at the front window. We watch and watch until I see his Jeep come around the corner, then I squeal and jump up and down in my chair with excitement!
- Daddy finished my playroom upstairs and even put a tent up for me to play in! Daddy, Mama and I play up there every night and Mama never has to tell me "No no Jack" because the entire room is 100% baby proof!!!!
- I am FINALLY saying "Dada". Daddy is SO proud of me. Mama still tells me I am a quiet baby, but I will talk and babble when I am playing with my cars and trucks and reading my book about tractors. I like to say "Mama" a lot and will stand at the baby gate and say it over and over and over again until Mama opens the gate up :)
- I still only have my 1 tooth, but Mama thinks the second one is coming in now. Brushing my "tooth" is one of my favorite things to do...Maybe I will be a dentist when I grow up just like my Pops.
- I have started throwing little fits when Mama says "No" or won't give me something I want...Mama says I act just like my daddy and Daddy says I act just like my mama.
- Mama and Daddy are getting ready to leave me for 5 whole nights in a few weeks. They are getting on some big boat to float out in the ocean somewhere. I am SUPER excited about spending lots of time with BOTH sets of grandparents while they are away! I bet I get 1,964 kisses from Mama on the day she leaves me, but she will be just fine on that big boat without me :)
- I have gotten mighty attached to my Mama. If she is in the room, then she is who I want. I also get teased when someone speaks to me who I don't know very well. I will bury my face in Mama's shirt and grin. Mama says she secretly likes this phase...it is the only time I am cuddly.
- Favorites as a 10 month old: trucks (I push them all over the house), being outside, bath time, balls, Cuba's toys, helping Mama clean (she gives me a rag and I "wash" the floor), playing with my buddy Wyatt , playing chase with Daddy, reading books, emptying the kitchen cabinets, looking out the window, puzzles, watching "Baby Signing Time" and "Super Why". Mama and Daddy say I get to be more fun everyday and that I am such a good boy!
And this is what happened when I said "Jack, sit down and give Mama a big smile!"
