6 Months Old!

Jake turned 6 months old on Christmas Eve. I waited a week to blog about it just because we had so much going on last week! We absolutely cannot believe our little guy is 6 months old, time has flown by. I can easily say that this past month has been the month with the most changes in Jake. He can do so many new things, it's like he is a brand new baby! Here is a short run-down of his latest accomplishments:
-sitting up, he has gotten so good at it!
-eating fruits and veggies
-down to 4 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime)
-he has 2 bottom teeth...and it seems the top ones aren't far behind
-giving hugs and kisses, or at least his version. the best are his kisses! he grabs both sides of your face and pulls you close...to slime you :)
-he is now down to 2 naps a day! and his morning nap is at least 90 minutes...I am not missing those short naps at all!
-sitting in a high chair at restaurants...we haven't been to the grocery store to try a cart yet
-his motor control with his hands amazes us every day, he is so strong and can reach so far!
-he loves, loves, loves his feet and can even get his toes in his mouth!
-"talking" with us and saying what sounds like words to us (we know they aren't yet!) but "mom" and "hi" are his favorites. he talks all the time now!
-playing with bath toys in the bathtub


Here is a video montage of Jake, from his birthday until he turned 6 months old!




Jacob, Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You are the best part of every day! We love seeing those beautiful eyes light up because you see our faces. There is no better feeling in the world than when you reach for us because you want us to hold you. There is no better sound than your laughter. Your hugs and kisses are already things we can't live without. You are growing so quickly now, we know the "baby moments" are passing very quickly and treasure each one of them. Happy 6 months birthday!
