6-months-old

This cutie pie is 6-months-old today! He is soooo sweet and cuddly and we all love him like crazy.

Moving:
Jacob is on the go. He scoots himself backwards all over the living room floor and spins himself around to grab various toys. (Legos and all other small game pieces have been sequestered to the dining room.)

Eating:
Jacob loves food. So far he is eating the following with gusto: rice cereal, avocados, bananas, pears, apples, sweet potatoes. He has tried carrots and wasn't fond of the texture so we'll wait a bit and try them again soon. He got the hang of a spoon after just a couple of weeks and sits with mouth open awaiting the next bite. He also lets me know when he is full by turning his head away and trying to fling himself backwards out of his seat.

Talking:
Jacob is much more of a talker than Joseph was. He is always trying out a new sound. He clicks his tongue, blows raspberries and makes fun dinosaur screeches. (to which Joseph usually responds, "really Jacob?!" He also makes a sound that sounds quite a bit like "hi." hmmmmmmm

Teething:
We have 1 adorable pearly white tooth visible on the bottom. Another tooth is trying to push its way in beside it. This is not yet so adorable.

Sleeping:
The teething has made nighttime a little less sleep friendly. Jacob was sleeping between 10 and 11 hours at night. For the past month we have been up at least once almost every night. However, he has slept through the night again for the past two nights. yay!

We do not go to the doctor for 2 more weeks . . and then Jacob & Joseph will both be going. We'll be taking daddy along as both boys will be getting shots. :( We will post an update with both boys' stats then!
