Sweet silly boy.

And to think, our sweet silly boy looked like THIS 8 months ago: 

Here is what Jack is up to at 9 Months:

• Mister Jack has two teefers (teeth)!! His first tooth came through on 2/13 and I mentioned in the 8 month update that his second tooth "sprouted" on 3/6! They are ADORABLE! He loves to do this face where he sticks out his lower jaw with his mouth open, (making kind of a triangle with his mouth?), and basically it cracks his mommy up. 
• He is eating 2x a day (still nursing 4x during the day) and this is what he eats, typically in this order: 
• Lunch - 1 container of veggies, 4 TBS of rice cereal, 1/2 container of fruit
• Dinner - 1 container of meat, 4 TBS of rice cereal, 1/2 container of fruit
• I'm working on some simple sign language, mostly around mealtime. I usually forget to ask him if he wants to EAT (sign) but I when he's eaten all his veggies, I'll ask "Do you want MORE (sign)?" and then after I do the sign, I'll put his little hands together and say it again and he usually freaks out like OF COURSE I WANT MORE!!! When we're done (usually all food has been consumed), then I'll say "All done!" and do the sign for that too.
• He still (typically) takes awesome 2 hour naps (morning and afternoon), but oh mercy... nighttime is rough. Bedtime is typically 8:30, and then he will wake up at least twice, usually at 10 and then again about 2-3, sometimes more than that, and sometimes stays away for an hour!! So yeah... hopefully THIS is the month when he starts to sleep through the night again!
• He likes talking a lot, blowing raspberries, clapping, sitting up unassisted, army crawling (or slithering, as shown in this video), loves playing with blocks, stacking rings, and his rubber ducky, and let's be real - Llama Llama is still king.

And now a video of Jackson for his nine month mirthday:
