Jack is 9 months!



Jack's 9 months old now!  He is just as happy as ever and seems to really enjoy being around other people.  He smiles when we drop him off in the nursery, waves at strangers at the store, and reaches out to touch your face to say hello when you get close enough.  He is completely a  people person and loves all of the attention he gets when friends and family are around.  Here are a few pictures of Jack with some of the people that make him smile:

Watch out!  These two are going to be trouble!

Jack has absolutely no interest in crawling at this point.  I've tried to entice him with toys, food, kisses and cheers, but he is content to sit and play in one spot.  If I put his toys out of arm's reach, he smiles and finds something else to do - like playing with his toes or finding dirt on the floor.  I can't really complain about this and the doctor said that Jack is strong and healthy.  Here is my way of tempting him to get moving:


Reaching... but not moving!
Just in case you were wondering, Jack still sleeps with his blanket over his face!


Jack's onesie this month is from his cousins Jim, Sue, Jimmy, and Emma.  It's from the Shanghai Resort on Norris Lake.  We missed going to the lake this summer but can't wait to give it a try next year!

You know how your Dad and Gary do the "two papa's" We need a "two Aunt Lori" pictures.

I would not worry about Jack just looking at the toys on the floor and not attempting to go after them. In his mind he is probably measuring the exact distance in both inches and centimeters it will take him to reach them and trying to determine it is worth the investment of energy to retrieve them.
