It is hard to believe that our son will be 1 year in just 2 short months. Boy, does time fly! I wanted to give an update on what Jack is doing these days. I know that we have a lot of friends and family that live far away that read this blog. I'm always posting pictures of Jack, but I rarely talk about what he's actually doing and what developmental milestones he's reached. So, for a 10 month post, I thought that might be appropriate.
As far as his weight goes, be is above average (at 9 months he was 20 lbs.). He's still a big boy, but his rapid growth has slowed a little since he has started crawling. He waves bye, which is absolutely precious, and has even said it a couple of times. He can also say "ma-ma", "da-da", and says "all gone" and "thank you" sometimes too. He can also kiss whenever I ask for one, although he just leans toward me with his wet, slobbery, little mouth wide open, which is also precious by the way.
He pulls himself up and can cruise around holding on to things, but the idea of balancing and taking a step on his own is still a little daunting. He LOVES music and dances to the t.v and even my singing. I think he is definitely destined to be talented in dancing, singing, instrument playing, or all of the above.
So, as you can imagine, his birthday party planning is already underway. Jack is absolutely mesmerized by that big purple dinosaur....so it looks like Barney may be the theme. I don't really understand his fascination, but he could watch Barney all day if I would let him...so it only seems fitting!
Here are a few pictures I took this evening. Our usual ritual is to get our jammies on and then he walks around the coffee table while I watch a little t.v. before it's his bottle and lights out at 8 o'clock.
