Jackson is 10 Months Old!

My sweet and handsome baby boy is already 10 months old! That means that he will be 1 year old in two months! The last ten months have just flown by, and I am so blessed to be this little guy’s mommy. Jackson is a little climber and loves to go for anything he shouldn’t like the TV remote, dog food, water bowl, dog toys, cell phones, and shoes. He is walking along furniture but still loves to crawl. Actually he is a super fast crawler; I’ve never seen a baby move that fast. He has the best laugh and his giggles are so contagious. He loves playing with his big sister Makayla. They were wrestling and giggling in the floor yesterday. It’s very sweet to see them starting to really play together. Now I only hope for something that is not as rough as wrestling! Haha! Anyhow, his 9 month well-child visit is next week (yeah a little late I know) and I’ll be sure to post some updates like his weight and height. I’m so very blessed and happy to be Jackson’s mom!
