7 month update

A lot of you have been asking if Jacob is crawling yet, and I guess he is? It started kind of slow with the army crawling. But he definetly is moving around now. I took this video a couple weeks ago, and he's moving even faster now and he can get up on his knees but just can't quite crawl on his knees longer for than a second. But you can watch him "crawl" on this video and make all his silly noises...



So now that Jacob is 7 1/2 months, his becoming more mobile is the only real new and exciting thing going on. He is still just so adorable and cute, and growing and changing so quickly! I just love watching him and playing with him all day! He makes lots of really funny sounds and expressions, and is still a very happy baby! Sometimes I joke that he likes to be wicked though, because he'll start slapping my face or something and I'll tell him to stop it and then he laughs and keeps doing it! Haha he does silly stuff like that all the time.

He has started taking much longer naps in the day which means I can get more done (like packing!), but for some reason he has also stopped sleeping as long through the night. That's been a little frustrating because he used to be great at sleeping through the night, so hopefully he'll get back on track soon!

And he's been eating his baby food for awhile, but I'm not very good about always remembering to feed it to him- (haha, whoops). I want to be feeding him food for lunch and dinner though, so that way maybe he'll stay a little more full- he always seems so hungry! But I promise, I do feed my baby- milk is just so much easier!

Funny thing happened last night actually. For some reason when I was picking out babyfoods at the store, I figured I try this chicken babyfood. It actually looked discusting and the doctor said he only needed fruits and veggies, so I don't know what I was thinking when I got chicken, I just figured we'd try it. Haha- well, bad idea! I guess I'll just show you his reaction...



And as soon as I stopped taping- Jacob threw it all up, and then again an hour later. Sorrrryyy Jacob! (And I decided not to post the after picture- too gross!) So... no more chicken, back to the fruits and vegetables!

Also, Jacob has had a couple visitors recently too. Luke's dad was in town for a day two weeks ago. He got in on a Sunday morning, checked out our house, came to church with us, came home and had dinner, then went and walked around Sloan's Lake downtown, and then he left early the next morning.



Grandpa got Jacob this cool glowstick to play with

Then the following weekend Luke's uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, and cousin Abbey were in town so we got to spend an evening with them- had dinner, played games, visited and had a great time!

Jacob loves playing with Abbey!

We also went to my friend Shandra's baby shower, she's having a baby boy in December!

So that's it for now, there will be Halloween pics soon!
