9 months?!?!

Jack is 9 months old today :) Here's some stats on our little boy...

*He has four teeth, two on top and two on the bottom

*He's crawling...he started crawling/scooting a while ago, but has just mastered the "real" hands and knees crawling just a few days ago

*He sleeps from 7pm-7:30am and yes still takes both a morning and afternoon nap!

*He can pack it away, he eats a 6oz jar of baby food and a 7oz bottle (formula) every 3 hours plus snacks....puffs, apple wagon wheels, etc.

*His new favorite snack are baby goldfish

*He is not a vegetable eater :( Takes after his Mama I guess?!

*He loves to pull hair....good thing he's got 3 sisters and a Mama with lots of hair to pull

*Bath time is his absolute favorite, you gotta watch him though, he rolls, sits up, lays down, crawls.....he's a wiggler...lots of water everywhere!

*Diaper changes are challenging! He loves his diaper off, you have to put him in a sleeper hold to get the new one on....seriously :)

*He almost completely skipped size 6 months clothes and is now wearing 9 months!!! The first time since birth he has been in the same age/size clothes :)

*I can't believe I was pregnant 9 months ago?! Time flies :)
