Jack & his ball.

One of the new toys was this $2 ball, and he seems to like it best.

Jack and Elmo.

Jack had started getting bored with his toys, so we picked out some new ones.

Sick boy, starting to recover.

Jack either got sick or had a few really bad days of teething. He would not eat anything for about 2 days, which made him really lethargic and weak. But he is back to his normal self now...yay!

Big head.

Jack had his 9 month well baby check up yesterday. His head circumference was in the 70th percentile. His length was in the 50th and his weight is in the 40th percentile. They said he eats way too much...but he is not too heavy so he must be putting it somewhere. He eats 3 real food meals and 40-50 oz. of formula a day.

OCD

Jack is obsessed with touching certain things and one of those things is the ceiling fan in the living room.

Who do you think Jack looks more like...Neil or Joni?

Mr. Happy, ready for breakfast.

We found a way to get Jack to eat baby cereal, mix it with orange juice, he loves it!

Crash

Jack has now shed his first drops of blood. First 3 days ago he was playing with dad and bobbed instead of weaved and skinned his chin on the end table. Then yesterday playing with his little dump truck he bumped his eye and split open his eye lid. But it seems like all is healing well.

Jack loves walking, he can't wait until he can do it all by himself.

Doesn't seem to bother Mitch.
