Jacob's Sixth Month

Little Man's (this is our favorite nickname for him) 6th month was full of big changes!  He began to sit up really well, learned to eat from a spoon, became a ball of personality, and began to "chatter".  He was always sweet and cute, but his sweet and laid back personality has really developed in the 6th month.  Is also doing lots of "talking" and likes to "tell us about it" as I like to say.  He squeals with delight about things and will laugh so hard at us anytime we say "boo" or play  peek-a-boo with him around the walls of our house.  During this month, he began to insist to stay up at least an hour and a half and began to try to create a different nap schedule for himself.  We didn't really figure out what it was until the 7th month, but he began that transition here.  Maybe he just missed me, but from the time I got home from school, he liked to stay awake and play with me until bedtime.  We go on walks (especially during that REALLY warm week up in NC during Febuary) do tummy time, read books together, and have family time with daddy!  He is such a joy and brings a new sense of meaning to our lives!

Here is Brett snuggling him before the last bottle of the night.  He is not really sure he wants to wake up to eat it at first, and then he normally eats the entire thing!

Here he is practicing standing up.  He loves to stand and gets the biggest "look at me!" grin on his face.

These are two of his favorite things to do.  He LOVES to knock down cups.  We'll sit him down and then one of us will build the tower for him.  The whole time someone is building the tower, Jacob is moving around, breathing hard, and keeping that little mouth wide open in excitement!  When it is time for him to knock it down, he can hardly contain himself. 

He also loves to look at himself in our hall bathroom mirror.  I guess it is because the lights are so bright, but other mirrors in the house do not have this effect.  Here he is playing with Daddy right before a bath.  They love to be silly together!

Here sweet pumpkin is right before church one Sunday.  He was looking handsome in the church outfit that Nana bought for him.  We love this little man with everything in us and feel in awe of the blessing that God has entrusted us with. 

Mommy's little man!
