Jack also had his nine month checkup and is getting taller and leaner. He was 22 lbs and 1 oz and 29 1/2 inches. 79th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. He's hitting all of his milestones just right. He has taken up to three steps at a time by himself, but is still a wobbly little guy. He's into everything, and particularly loves grandma's plants. The poor little leaves just aren't safe anymore. Jack has 5 teeth with the sixth on the way. He has figured out what a kitty says and "meow's" very well. He also pounds on his chest and yells like Tarzan - thanks to Daddy on that one.
Jack enjoyed one very nice bath after getting his PICC line out. Yep, that's it. Just one. We had a little incident with the curling iron, and Jack's leg got a nasty burn on it, so we're back to sponge baths by the kitchen sink again. Poor little guy. Hopefully this weekend, he'll get to take the plunge into the bath tub again.
Jack had his first official hair cut today. The pictures are on grandpa's camara, so we'll have to post them later, but these pics are from after the cut. After losing almost all the hair he had, it's growing pretty well, and very blond. Grandma was a great barber for Jack, while I just tried to hold the slippery little guy still. Quite an adventure!
We love seeing Jack's personality develop, so I tried to snap a few pics of the variations.
Jack loves to sing/yell. This one also shows a good view of those upper choppers.
Although not looking right at me (we're still working on the camara thing) he is such a happy and content little guy.
Well, he's happy most of the time. Sometimes he just has to yell. Like when his mom won't get him out of the crib and just wants to take more pictures.
And finally, as any Mom could attest, this is the sweetest face of them all. Nothing beats a sleeping baby!

Jack is so adorable! So glad he's well but he sure is good at finding the "ouchies"! I can't believe after all that he was burned too! Poor kid! (When Blake was little he knocked my curling iron on the ground and stepped on it. Ouch!) Like the new haircut too. :)
Jen=I am so sorry we didn't call you yesterday...Dave ended up getting so sick and with the rain we decided just to go home. So we got in last night at one in the morning...so we're all hammered but Dave is still pretty sick...I think it is an episode of diverticulitis...arg...hopefully we'll get up that way again soon...can you email me your address and phone number so I have it?
