- His huge Jack-o-lantern smile of nearly 8 teeth - which is a lot for his age
- He's pretty small, hovering around the 20th percentile (Madeline was the same at this age)
- He is a extremely even-tempered, content, easy-to-please (an unbelievable change for us)
- He adores Madeline and lights up whenever she plays with him - even when she's doing rough or annoying things to him, he just beams
- His infectious belly laugh when you tickle him or hover over his face and play with him
- His lip smacking and teeth grinding - horrible!
- Wherever you put him down, he'll be at the other end of the house in about two seconds.
- How quickly he has learned to crawl and get around - I predict he'll be walking at nine months sometime
- Out of nowhere, he'll belt out a crazy loud scream that makes every hold their ears
- He and Madeline have yelling wars back and forth with each other
- He loves pushing his cart across the room and looks so pleased with himself to do this.
- The gate at the bottom of the stairs must stay closed, or else!
- He's not the best eater. Still eating 99.9% breast milk and rejecting all bottles, spoons, and other foods. Sometimes will gracefully eat cheerios or puffs. Completely making mom bonkers.
- Also not the best sleeper. Still wakes up every 3-4 hours at night. Mom is tired of feeling feels like she still has a 3 month old and is trying some "tough love" sleep training lately.
- He is starting to babble and speak "Jaxish"
- Cute chubby legs
- LOVES being in water
- His beach blonde hair - where'd he get that?? (some kind of in-vitro mix-up? J/K)
- His godzilla attacks on Madelines stuff
- He always needs to be held facing outward.
- He loves walks and being outdoors
- He's at the best baby age right now, in my opinion.
- So cute I want to eat him. :)

I love the little details Lisa! So great! My favorite one - godzilla attacks! I can picture it perfectly!
I wonder if he'll sleep better through the night when he can get some "real" food in him before he sleeps? A friend of mine here had that same problem until her boy ate food. The Dr. told her that the breat milk just didn't keep him full long enough. Who knows?!
I'm so happy you are posting these things - both for all of our sakes but for your family too. These will mean so much to you in years to come. What great things to remember - I love all the small details. Thanks for sharing!
Oh... I've never really chatted with you about breastfeeding. If he's getting so much breast milk it sounds like you both are doing great. Nice job! It can be a hard thing to keep up.
Love and miss you!
Gwen
