6 months. Half a year. Soon he will be driving a car.

My baby boy is 6 months old.

As in I have been a mother for 6 months.

Wait, what?! That just happened.

At 6 months, Jack is:

up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth (he will crawl in about 2 seconds I am sure)
teething.
      *his front two bottom teeth at the same time. it is so sad. on the other hand, he is more cuddly, so that's kind of my favorite
can sit up on his own for a little bit before he topples over. it's cute.
screams. not because he's sad, just because he has something to say
he will stop screaming at any form of music. especially singing
talks and talks to us
smiles and smiles at us
takes 3 naps a day (morning and afternoon are long, then a quick power nap around dinner time)
is starting to go to the daycare at Mama's gym! Mama is happy!
loves his exersaucer
started rice cereal. LOVES it.
loves being tossed around by Daddy
jumps and jumps and jumps and jumps on your lap
has adorable winter clothes
is the cutest thing in the world!

 

love him.

Jack Preston is 5 months!

My jack boy is 5 months old!

At 5 months Jack is:
rolling everywhere
starting to scoot around (yikes)
showing different smiles and faces for different people
giggles at anything his Daddy does
and 50% of his Mama's crazy faces
holds out his hand like he's waiting to get paid
loves his blue and green soft blanket
prefers his fingers over a pacifier
hates his jumper
loves his swing
hates driving in the car
is almost big enough for size 3 diapers
talks and talks all day long
is still the cutest guy around

 

Holy cow, he looks like he's 15 in this picture. Woof.
