Things I don't want to forget...

Jacob is 6 months old today.  Already it seems like I'm forgetting things about him as a newborn.  Everyday he's learning new things and becoming his own little person.  So, I'm going to post my favorite pics and thoughts from the past 6 months.  Next week  I will do a 6 month update since he has a doctor appt on Tuesday, so I will see how big he's gotten!

All that wild hair, my little baby boy, just hours old

1st time meeting his new BFF.  Amazing to think Adam is now 1, and Jacob is pretty much same size as Adam in this pic

1st Easter



He laughs and giggles now, but I already miss the little newborn cooes he had.   Before, when he would lay still to eat, he would bend his little elbows, and "hold" his hands up on his chest while he ate.  He still makes the funniest sounds when I get ready to feed him. Once I put him on the boppy, he knows what's next and becomes very vocal.  His downy little head, and how he snuggles when he wakes up from a nap.  Now, when he's excited, his whole little body just goes, arms a flapping and legs just kicking.  He has favorite toys, loves to snuggle with a blanket, and laughs at Selby when she chases her tail.  He has the most heartmelting grin in the world with his gummy little smile.  I'm excited for the stages coming up, but also scared, he's growing SO fast, and each day is something new.
