7 months old!

These pictures are getting nearly impossible to take.




We've had a super busy weekend, so I'm a few days late on this one! Jack is now 7 months old, weighs 15 lbs, 11 oz and is about 27 inches tall. That makes him about 10th percentile in weight, and 50th in height. He's still a little guy. He's consistently gaining 1 lb a month. No more, no less.

He's now eating 2 meals a day, and he likes EVERYTHING! It must have been the texture he didn't like originally, because he now loves sweet potatoes, avocado, oatmeal, carrots, banana, peas, and pears. We will do green beans and apples next.

He's rolled over and scooted in circles, but no movement forward or backwards yet, but I can tell he wants to! He loves swimming lessons. He just learned to splash and that makes water even more fun! He splashes mommy and laughs and laughs!

He has also started reaching for me now. When Daddy is holding him, he sometimes would rather be held by Mama, and he leans towards me. He was sitting in his bouncer one day and reached his arms up to me to pick him up too!

John's cousin Chris, his wife Akari and their son Noah (14 months old) came to visit this weekend! We had a lot of fun, and tried to get pictures of the boys all weekend, and it is impossible to get pictures of 3 little boys.




This morning we were supposed to go the Memorial Day parade that goes right by Bryant and Rachel's house. The parade was at 10. We woke up at 10:30, threw clothes on, and went in search of the parade. We found it, but it was the end. So, here's Jack enjoying the end of the parade...




And then we went to Bryant and Rachel's to stage a picture of the boys watching the parade! haha!

Going in circles

Wow! Jack has really started moving...rolling over yesterday, and going in circles today! Put him on the floor and who knows what he will do!

So, this afternoon, I put him on the floor on his tummy with some toys.


I left the room, and a few minutes later, returned, to find him like this:


He was happily playing with the tags, so I left the room again, and returned to see him like this:


Wow! I decided this time to stay and watch him, and I watched him turn around like this:


It's all fun and games til he actually goes somewhere! I think it's time to put away the killer fireplace tools. Does anyone want some gently used black fireplace tools?

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...

Yes, Jack intentionally rolled from belly to back today!

Take it away Jack...





Ta-da!!

Happy Mother's Day!

To me! Hahaha! It was weird to actually celebrate Mother's Day for myself! Jack wished me a happy Mommy's day, and picked out a digital picture frame for me (says Daddy...). We had a nice brunch and went to the zoo, with my mom, Uncle Doug, Aunt Karen, and Jillian.


After we got home, I made some carrots for Jack, and he acutally LIKED them!!! Wow! He ate them right up!


Last weekend, we flew kites in memory of Shawn. It was fun, until Daddy lost a kite in the tree!





While Daddy tried to get the kite out of the tree, Jack tried out the baby swing, and loved it!



Jack rode in the shopping cart for the first time. He loved being able to look at everything! Thanks to Aunt Rachel for the shopping cart cover!



Nana got Jack a horse jumperoo for Easter, here's my little cowboy jumperooing.


Jack's new favorite thing to do? Blowing raspberries and spitting all over everything!



I'm going to try to blog more often, so posts aren't so long! I'd rather do a bunch of short ones! Much less time consuming!

6 month pictures

Katie took Jack's 6 month pictures Tuesday, and she sent me a few today. They are FANTASTIC! Here's some of them.
