Milestones - the Jakester

Well, he's 6 months (plus) and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I have already completely weaned him in the last three weeks and he doesn't seem to mind at all. The landmark decision was made during our trip to California (nursing on the plane is a real drag) AND due to the fact that he now has TWO bottom teeth that he likes to use (if you know what I mean).

He sits up by himself (since about 5 1/2 months) and he is eating all sorts of solids (baby food of course.) Jake adores Kylie and laughs at everything she does. He has a great schedule; sleeps 7pm-7am, naps 9am-10:30 and 1-2:30. We have a nice stretch in the late afternoon - but sometimes he wants to go to bed at 6pm which makes it hard to do any dinner outings.

Of course, I have all kinds of mommy worries (Jeff thinks I'm nuts). Like, his eyes are very hooded and I really hope he will grow out of it - but what if he doesn't? He also gets this strange red area under his eyes after he drinks his bottles sometimes - allergy??? Who knows? It's always something right? Did I mention that he's HUGE? We haven't had his official appointment yet - but a couple weeks ago he weighed in at 19 lbs and 10 oz. The infant car seat only lasts up to 22 lbs and 29 inches - so we'll see how long we get to use that!

Our *brief* 6 month photo session:

Love this one - you can see his two little teeth!
Just look at the size of that belly!!
This was right before he almost tumbled off the ottoman and onto his head, mommy screaming at Daddy for almost killing the baby -- and Jake was laughing!
And of course, a hat by Loomis Loops!
You know me, had to do a comparison shot.....
