Hi everyone!

We can’t believe how much Jack is growing and changing! He’s doing very well all around. He’s somewhere around 16 pounds and 27 inches now – we’ll know for sure when we go to the pediatrician for a check up and another RSV shot this Thursday. We know he’s getting bigger because his clothing keeps getting smaller and smaller! Can you believe he’s wearing size 12 months now?!?!?

He’s definitely teething…the poor guy is drooling and biting on anything and everything he can get his hands and mouth on. He’s even waking more at night and not eating too well the last few days. We hope those little teeth come in soon so he can get a break!

His physical therapy is going well. He can sit for almost 30 seconds all on his own! He also just started holding himself up on straight arms and knees. He knows he wants to get somewhere so he launches himself forward and crash lands on his little nose…then laughs and does it again!

He’s ‘talking’ much more as well. He says ooohDA….ohhhBA and lots of mmms and ooohs and ahhhs. He’ll look at you and concentrate really hard and just start telling you whatever is on his mind. He’s such a happy baby, very pleasant and a fan of the ladies as well!

Jack started occupational therapy last week. She said Jack is doing a great job eating and she doesn’t see any problems with is ability to take the bottle or eat from a spoon. She’ll continue to work with him twice a month as we introduce new foods and textures. She’ll also observe and track the development of his fine motor skills – like picking up, holding and manipulating toys and other objects.

We’re getting excited for the holiday season - can’t believe it’s already that time again! This will be a fun time full of a lot of firsts for Jack. We think he’ll just love looking at the Christmas tree and all of the lights and shiny ornaments! Oh, and all the presents too!

Thanks to all of you who keep reading this website! We hope everyone is doing well. Can’t wait until spring so Jack can come visit you!
