But enough about me, this is about our little Jack Stetson Carbonneau! I get to take this time to brag about him because he's my baby and this is my blog :) He has been the most perfect little baby since day 1...literally. My pregnancy was very enjoyable, labor/delivery was more than I could have asked for, breastfeeding was great, he's a great little sleeper, definitely not a cry-er, etc. I could seriously go on and on about how great of a baby he is. Now I know I don't have anyone to compare him to but when other people who watch him are always commenting on his good nature and even random strangers, then I KNOW he's a good baby :)
I titled this post "Oh the Places You'll Go" because I absolutely love Dr. Seuss and I LOVE that book. If you haven't read it, read it. It's such a cute book and Dr. Seuss does a pretty good job summing up life :o) It's fun to think of Jack's life and all the places he really will go and how open and bright his future is.
Anyway, here are a few fun facts about our little guy!
- Weighed a whopping 5lbs 9 oz at birth and up until his 9 month check-up, he was in the 3rd percentile for his weight...I'll find out where he is next week!
- He LOVES balloons. Now, every time we see one he tries reaching up for it and just stares up at it until it's out of sight. Those things can keep him entertained for a while...
- He is the best little sleeper. He gives me a solid 12-13 hours every night. He goes down around 6:45 p.m and wakes up around 7:15-7:30.
- He is so adaptable to wherever we are. I never worry about taking him to a restaurant, grocery shopping, doctor's office, friend's house, etc. because he loves to be out and about! If I ever have to wake him up from his naps, he always greets me with a smile, never a cry.
- He LOVES food. That is definitely an understatement. The kid can't get enough food. He flaps his arms and kicks his legs whenever he sees food. No, I do not starve the child :) He will eat anything I put in front of him. It has made my life so. easy. I hope he continues his love for food and isn't a picky eater but we'll see!
- He isn't walking yet but crawls very fast. He crawls on one knee and keeps the other leg bent (pushing off with his foot instead of his knee).
- He loves dogs. A little too much sometimes. We're still working on "soft" :o)
- He is definitely a momma's boy right now, naturally, since I'm home a lot more than Steven. However, he has no trouble going to other people and loves smiling at strangers!
- He has the bluest eyes but his right eye has a little bit of brown in it. It's been there since he was born. It just makes him unique!
- He is very ticklish
- He is in that stage where he gets in to EVERYTHING but I actually don't mind it as much as I thought I would because it keeps him busy. He is not interested in toys at all which is fine with me since I refuse to buy them anyway! At least new toys that is. Everything we own minus 2 items have been bought used or are hand-me-downs (except for clothes...I like new clothes :)
- He loves to play the piano. Those little hands start reaching for it as soon as I pick him up on my lap. Now he can reach it when he's standing so he'll reach those little arms up and tink around starting at the high notes and working his way down.
- Whenever I'm combing the little hair he has, he sits and smiles at himself in the mirror the entire time. A little vain? ;o)
- He also loves to brush his teeth. It keeps him distracted when I'm lotion-ing and putting his jammies on at night or when I'm changing his diaper in the mornings
Overall, Jack is just a happy baby. There are no other words to describe him. Sure, he has his moments but they are few and far between. We sure do love him! I am definitely my mother's daughter with all the crazy songs and rhymes and stuff I do with him but we have fun. I'm so happy he's part of our family and I look forward to all the years to come. I will cherish each one!
