6 Months Old

Oh my! We are half way through my first year of life. On November 23rd, I turned 6 months old. I have so much going on right now, and I am frustrated. During the day, I just cry sometimes. My gums hurt, and I am tired. It has been a wild ride for the first 6 months of life!!

I finally rolled over! I am a pro at it :) Only problem, when I roll over - I want to go! I am in the crawling position and I want to crawl NOW! Mommy thinks in a month, I will be crawling. My big brother started crawling at 7 months. My mommy called him the champion crawler, because he crawled for 6 months.

Mommy has a feeling that I am very close to popping a tooth. I am drooling, some nights I do not sleep. With all the excitement going on in my body, who can sleep? There are some nights where I sleep through the night - and Mommy is very pleased with that!

Eating is still a challenge. Mommy can't get me to eat some days. I am a picky eater. If Mommy can get me to eat one good meal a day, then she is happy.

Mommy just adores me!! She is so glad everything has turned out okay!!

On her Facebook Status on Thanksgiving - Mommy wrote "I am very Thankful for Baby Jacob. 6 Months ago there was a possibility that Jacob would not be here this Thanksgiving. I am very Thankful for the ultrasound that day, doctors, and nurses. Thank you God for taking care of my baby."
See you in a few weeks!! Love, Jacob

Food!!

Hi Everyone,

A lot has been going on! I have been sick for the past two weeks. It started on Halloween and I can't get rid of it. Mommy and Daddy took me to the doctor and said that I have a cold and my gums are bothering me, which means I am teething!! Mommy thinks by this time next month, I will have my first tooth. We just wish I could shake this cold. Even Niko is sick. We both have the same cough. Fun times at our house!

Mommy is very pleased with me though. For the most part, I sleep through the night. I go down at 8pm and Daddy has a hard time waking me up at 6:30 or 7:00 am. After all the problems we had, I might be a better sleeper than my big brother. Now every night is not perfect, but it is much better than it was and Mommy will take it :)

I am really digging the food aspect of life! When I was weighed on Tuesday, I am up to 13 pounds and some change :) At first, Mommy struggled with getting me to eat. We might have started too early. I like pears, bananas, and oatmeal. Mommy is watching the applesauce and squash, I tend to puke after those items. It could be the sickies too. So, we will try them again.

I still have not rolled over, which makes Mommy a little concerned, but we will get it!
Mommy needs to tend to Niko and make dinner. Of course, I am being an angel. Love, Jake
