Jack Attack

Jack had his NINE MONTH well-baby check last week.  How is this little boy getting so huge?  He is officially 22 lbs and 28 inches long.  Our pediatrician also predicts that his top teeth will be soon in coming and that he will walk by 10 1/2 months.  

I won't be the least surprised when he is running around next week. The last few days he has randomly decided to take a few steps on his own.  

My little over-achiever.

He has also learned to stand on his tip-toes to reach something that he wants. Oh dear.

2009 brought Jack his first haircut, courtesy of mama.  Don't worry, when he is in school and actually cares what his hair looks like, I will let someone with skill do it.  But until then, free is good.

Patiently waiting for the fun to begin.  Doesn't he look like a little MAN?

We gave him a handful of toys to distract him from what happening on his head.  My mom also sat right next to him to help with the distraction and advise on the snipping.

Jack eating the hair as it fell from his head.  Are you surprised? 

Me either. 

Oh the fun that awaits.  Talking, walking, tantrums, traveling.  It is going to be a momentous year!
