Half Birthday

That's right, little Jack is 6 months old!! I can't believe it!
19 lbs. 9 oz.
26 in.

New Tricks:
Sits up by himself
Reaches for everything

Rolls over

Responds to his name
Smiles constantly
Laughs all the time
Eats cereal
No longer takes a pacifier
Can eat his own feet

Pop Goes My Heart

Have you ever seen "Music and Lyrics"? It's one of my favorites, and apparently Jack liked it too.

I couldn't get the sound very loud. I don't know if you'll be able to either, but you get the idea.

West Coast Travelers

Jack was soooo tired after so much fun in the sun :)

New Toy

Jack got a new toy this weekend! I wasn't sure how he would like it, but he loves being able to stand up, and move around by himself.

I tried to put all of these pictures into some sort of collage like I've seen on so many of your blogs, but I can't figure it out. When I type it up, it looks exactly how I want, but then when I publish it, the layout looks completely different. Help, please?

Jack is 5 months old today.

I had one of those "my little baby is growing up so fast" moments!

I can't believe how fast time is flying by.

Twisted Sense of Humor

Jack has a little stuffed horse that he loves and plays with all the time. Today I happened to accidentally hit the horse, and he thought that was the funniest thing ever. So here's a video of my child's sick delight in the abuse of his favorite toy. And yes, Jack is already starting to sit up by himself :)



P.S. If you couldn't tell by the previous post from last week, I do have the sweetest, most wonderful husband on the planet.
