Jacob - 6 Months

So our last trip to the doctor, the nurse made a slight mistake in measuring the very wiggly Jacob. I understand, he's quite a determined, wiggly boy. Anyways... Jacob now measures 28 inches long and weighs 20 pounds. Hopefully his ridiculous growth spurt has slowed a bit. He sits on the 90th percentile across the board. He still has a linebacker frame, lol. Jacob can pivot and scoot slowly to where he wants to go now and has recently moved from the "swimming" motion stage to starting to be able to get his knees under himself. I guess it won't be long until I'm chasing another boy around this house. Aside from new accomplishments, Jacob's favorite foods so far are carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas and applesauce... You should see the face I get when I give him green beans though, haha.

Happy 6 Months, Jacob!

Easter 2011

Dylan, Jacob, Jeff & I began our Easter adventures at Grandma & Pappy Faith's house.  There was an area specifically for Dylan to hunt Easter eggs.  There also was an "Adult" area with hidden Easter eggs including special prize eggs.  Fun, fun times.

The Easter Bunny hid eggs at our house which Dylan hunted in the morning when he woke up.  He also hunted eggs at Grandma & Pappy Faith's house & Great-Grandma & Pappy Sheets' house.  That's a lot of egg hunting!  This picture doesn't show it, but Dylan was ecstatic to hunt for eggs this year!

Uncle Cameron & Jacob

I love the faces that both of them are making in this picture!

We ended our marathon of an Easter at Grandma & Grandpa Gray's house for dinner.  Shortly after dinner, Dylan and I were playing outside on the porch with cars as it started to rain.  

There are very few instances when the weather is perfect for playing in the rain and this day was one of them.  It was very warm... no lightning... I had extra clothes for him...  Go for it buddy!  He ran around with the biggest grin on his face only stopping to splash in puddles here and there.

Brotherly Love

Dylan always wants to "hold" Jacob.  Being the big, strong baby that he is, Jacob makes it nearly impossible to "hold" him these days and would much rather just sit on you or next to you, haha.  These two were too cute!  I had to grab the camera quick to take a picture.  They sat like this for an entire 30 minute cartoon of Word World.  Jacob really cuddled in close to Dylan.  Two very cute little boys...

The Bottle Battle

Dylan loves to help with all kinds of things around the house.  I am not surprised that he always wants to help do everything with Jacob too.  Jacob has been doing well with drinking from a bottle finally so I gave Dylan the chance to try to hold the bottle for him.  The bottle battle has been a long fought one but I finally feel like I have some high ground now.  I feel like I'm on the winning side of the battle so much that it's not too much of a battle anymore.  Good fight young one...   Anyway, Dylan did extremely well.  Jacob too.  Dylan was so into it and immediately asked if he could feed Jacob again when it's time for his next bottle.  Awesome!

Word World Song

One of Dylan's favorite cartoons is Word World.   He loves to sing the opening theme song all the time. Jacob loves to listen to him.  Jacob is always entertained or mesmerized by his big brother.

Enjoy!

Peak-a-boo Jacob
