7 Months Old

Jackson turned 7 months old yesterday. We celebrated with a trip to the vet for Maggie and Tiger to get their annual check-up and shots! ;-) Here's a picture of Jackson as he tried to "play" with Tiger:

And here is Maggie as she tried to plan her escape route (she hates the vet!)

But back to Jackson and his 7 month update...I weighed him yesterday and he now weighs 22 pounds. Still a big boy, but it appears that his crazy growth rate has slowed a little. As mentioned in an earlier post, he is rolling around like crazy. In fact, just now he rolled across the living room so that he could examine his Exersaucer and the zillion toys that are being stored over there. The other big update is that he got his first tooth last Tuesday. It is one of the bottom ones, and it appears that the other bottom one will break through pretty quickly. We have moved on to 2nd foods in the baby food department and he absolutely loves just about everything we have fed him so far. Right now he is eating a jar of veggies at lunch and a jar of fruit at dinner. We have tried one of the meats, but I don't think he is quite ready for it. Granted, it looked and smelled like cat food, so I'm pretty sure I would spit it out too! He's still a great night-time sleeper (not such a great napper, at least at school when there is so much action going on all the time). And, just like me and Scott, he is NOT a morning person. He would prefer to sleep in a little later than we have to get him up each weekday and thankfully sleeps in a little for us on the weekends. Let's hope he continues these wonderful sleeping habits!!

Here's one final picture form the vet's office, if you look very close you can see his little tooth coming in!
