6 Months

I can't believe my little guy is already 6 months old! Where has the time gone? He has been such a joy and so fun to get to know. I am so in love with his smile, his smell, his laugh, his slobbery kisses, his pouty face, his chubby legs and hands and his happy disposition. (As is evidenced below - one second crying, the next a big smile).

So, as predicted, Jacob learned to sit before rolling. On May 26th he sat for the first time (for a significant duration that is) and he's been doing it ever since. He LOVES to sit and definitely prefers it to laying down. Then 3 days after his sitting success he completed a stomach-to-back roll. He is now rolling back to front too, however that way is rare.

A few of my other recent loves for the month: Jacob is talking and laughing a lot more. He has noticed his tongue and likes to play with it and stick it out all the time. He plays with his feet all the time and seems to have to always be holding something - my finger, his toes, my hair, Emily's hair, a toy, his burp cloth, his sippy cup, his bib, his paci. He loves to wave his burp cloth around while taking his bottle. He is such a little social bug and adores kids and babies - especially Emily. He loves to grab faces and try to eat you. He still is enamored with Emily and just lights up when he sees her.

We all sure love our little man and I definitely can't get enough of him.
