Five Month Mark! Hooray!

22 weeks!

Wow.  Where did these 5 months go? ! ? Jakey is growing so quickly and time is just racing by.  In all honesty, I think way back (LOL like 5 months is way back) to times before Jake and I don't even remember what I did with my time.  Ya, I went on some amazing vacations and spent time with loved ones, but what did I do with all of the other bits and pieces in between?  Okay, okay.  Let me come back from that tangent because I could speculate for hours upon hours about where my time went. 

Jacob's personality is really starting to blossom.  After months of saying, "Jacob! Look at me baby!  Here I am Jacob!", he will now turn. . . and. . . look!  He can recognize his name, or some other version of it.  It is sooo cute to watch his face.  He will hear his name, then slowly. turn. his. big. wobbly. head to look.  : ) Jake is also reaching for people he wants to go with when approached with open arms.  He will 'dis' a person too.  He's even been bold enough to 'dis' me when grandma P was holding him.  : ' (  That did break my heart just a little bit but it surely did make my mom happy. ; )

Since Jacob is quickly outgrowing his bathtub, a.k.a. kitchen sink, grandma P & grandpa W bought him a new tub.  It's actually this really cute rubber ducky tub.  It has a skid proof lining so Jake's slippery booty doesn't slip and slide everywhere.  Jacob really enjoys being able to be submerged up to his chest now.  He will also go to town kicking his feet so he can splash me or daddy.  

I love to relax in my rubber ducky!

Jacob seemed to enjoy his first Thanksgiving!  It was full of food (yes, still nursing!), family and fun!  He is now more interested in other people's drinks.  I have to be on the look-out every time I take a drink.  It's so cute!  His eyes will lock in on the glass, then he will follow it like a hawk waiting for the perfect moment to strike.  Once it comes in to reaching distance, it is all over.  If you don't move quickly, your drink will be his.  I'm not going to lie, he has had a sip of mommy's water and tea and now he's hooked.
