At about 5 months he learned to roll over from his back to his belly, so now he can roll over both ways! At first I was a little nervous because this means he rolls all over the house and gets himself into places he shouldn't, but it kind of cute just watching him go!
When Jacob was about 5 1/2 months he learned to sit up by himself with his hands propping him! For some reason I'm really excited about this one, I can't wait until he can fully support himself sitting, it just seems it will make some things a little easier!
Here's Jacob sitting up again at his first Redskins experience 8/28, and looking so handsome!
And after a couple months of teething Jacob's first teeth cut through when he was 5 1/2 months- unfortunately I don't remember the day! But here is the most updated picture of his little biters. 
Jacob has also gotten lots of new little toys and things. Well not a lot- there's soo many more things I would love to get him if I wasn't trying to be so careful with our money...
I got him these little books at the dollar section at Target and he loves to lay down and "read"!
My latest splurge was on this exersaucer. I actually had been waiting to get it for months and finally did. I think Luke and I were more excited for it because it meant we finally had another place to set him down and more toys to play with. He seems to enjoy it! He doesn't quite bounce or jump in it yet though, hopefully soon he'll learn how much fun that can be!
The best thing I did though was hit up another church yard sale- I love those! Church ones are the best because they always have such a large selection. And I was really bummed because my friend referred me to these huge childrens sales they have here in Denver, but they're only twice a year, and I forgot the date and missed it! But when I saw signs for this yard sale, I was hoping I'd at least find something, so I went and found exactly what I was looking for!
I got Jacob a temporary seat so that he can sit at the table and eat his babyfood, which he is just starting. And it was only 50 cents!! I actually like it more than I thought I would, so maybe I'll use it for longer than I planned.
Then I found him a little play mat with jungle toys and makes music and animal sounds- very cute, in good condition, and only $5!
And then I got Jacob another little animal sounds toy that he's still a little too young to play with, but it makes music so he likes it- and only $3!
And I was also hoping to find a helmet so that I can make a turtle shell out of it for his halloween costume. Well I found one for $2 so I figured I will at least try to paint it and we'll see if it turns out!So the yard sale shopping was a success! Stuff like that always makes my day. And since Jacob is growing quickly out of his clothes I also went to Kohls and got Jacob 2 shirts and pants for $13- I love Kohls sales too!
And I've tried video taping Jacob playing lately, because he will spit and razz and laugh at himself and make soo much noise! But the camera still amazes him to the point that he will stop whatever he's doing, so I can never quite capture his cute noisy moments. But here a few pictures where you can tell he's being loud and silly- reminds me of Luke!
So here's Jacob the morning he turned 6 months old!
I love how cute he looks when he's done with his bath :)
He looks so long here! He's almost too long for the changing table, I'll just have to move his wipes off so he can fit!
So when he went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup they said he was:15 lbs, 11 oz (about 45th percentile or something) - I actually thought he weighed more, but oh well.
27 inches long (about 75th percentile)- which dropped from 4 months when he was in the 90th!and his head, which no one really cares about, was 43 cm- (about 50th percentile).
Soo for his age he's kind of a tall but lean baby. He's not very chubby, which is ok with me, because he's still squishy- or fleshy as my sister would say, haha.
And the doctor said he can start eating baby food, so that's another exciting change! He had been eating rice cereal almost every night- sometimes we get too lazy, or forget, or sometimes he'll go to sleep early and we still haven't had the chance to feed him "dinner". I like to feed him at night though so that Luke has a chance to feed him every now and then.
So his first babyfood was Sunday and we gave him carrots, and this time I mixed it in with the rice cereal. I was thinking he wouldn't really go for it, but he did really well! I guess you wouldn't be able to tell by the picture, but the new taste didn't bother him and he ate it all up!
Anyway, I'll have to be better about posting when new things happen, it seems like now that he's getting older, he just changes so much every day! But it's been exciting and we've been having so much fun!
