My how you've grown!!

Yesterday, we had Jacob's six month appointment (finally, since he's practically seven months old!). Dr. Frank was very pleased with his progress and happy to see how jovial and social he is. Even the nurse felt bad giving his shots because he was giggling with her only a few moments before. Jacob has grown leaps and bounds in his weight, now up to 19 lbs 11 oz (72%) and 28 in (83%). He even showed off some of his tricks to Dr. Frank, like how well he sits up and blowing raspberries, which she said he shouldn't be able to do yet!



"If I stretch a little further, I'll be able to reach it!"

"Stop bothering me, mom. I'm workin'!"

Jacob is becoming more and more of a little boy these days. He loves to explore with his new toys and discover sounds when he bangs different toys together. We laugh because he often gets very serious when playing and is in deep concentration.
This week we switched Jacob to a multigrained cereal as he was becoming bored with rice. We also introduced bananas, which you can see from the picture above, was a whole new taste! After the first day or two, he started gobbling them down. He hasn't met a food yet that he doesn't like!!

This is what we call Jacob's "Grumpy Old Men" face. Although Dr. Frank didn't see any beginnings of teeth, he's definitely showing signs that they aren't too far off!
