Merry Christmas week!

26 Weeks Old!
This week was so busy! Guess who tried green beans?!  Nope, not mommy.  Yes! . . .  Jacob really liked them!  I am trying to introduce him to veggies first since I've always been so "anti-veggie".  I just want him to have healthy food now in hopes that he will have healthy food as his preference.  I am also trying to eat the foods that I serve Jake too.  You know the saying "Do what I say, not what I do", well, I never really liked it.   I hope to lead by example, or at least attemp to with most things.  It was also my first time to "make" his food.  Much easier than I thought.  Shout out to grandma P and grandpa W for getting us the Ninja for Christmas!  Back to green beans. . . He seemed to like their flavor but was unsure of their texture.  He would flare his nostrills when I would feed him some!      


Hmmm....


Organic Pureed GB's!


I think I like it!
Jacob had his 6 month appointment with his doctor.  He is getting sooooo big!  He got two vaccines this time.  He took them like a champ again but he was down for the count later on.  Jake wasn't feeling himself.  First, came a case of the crankies.  Next, came a runny nose and then came the fever.  It was his first fever ever and I just felt so helpless.  : (  He got a ton of extra snuggles from me and daddy and I just nursed him extra as well.  Jacob snuck into our bed somehow but since he is sick, he gets a free pass.  I have a feeling that this cosleeping may be more long term than not.  LOL

I don't feel good.  :(

Jacob really had a great Christmas!  He loved seeing everyone and spending time with them!  He also liked opening gifts aka pulling at the bows and pulling at the wrapping paper!  He got so many new toys, a cool book and clothes!  Christmas morning, Jake, mommy and daddy got up early and opened gifts in our PJ's.  Sounds like a new tradition taking shape! Oh, forgot to mention, we made a super cute Christmas ornament with Jake's handprint.  There will be one to follow every year.  : )

25 weeks and counting!

Jake has been doing some awesome things this week!  It is so much fun to be able to sit back and watch his personality bloom.  I can't wait to see what he has in store for all of us later down the road! 
25 Weeks right here!



So, he has been definitely showing his people preferences lately.  He will hold his arms out to go to people more now and for those unlucky few, he will turn his head when he does not want go with someone else. 
Jacob + Mommy = Good Cuddles

I must eat that Christmas tree!
He has also been perfecting his "sitting in a restaurant highchair" skill.  Slowly, but surely it's coming along.  Maybe one day soon, mommy AND daddy can put you there and eat a hot meal together like before but better because you'll be there.  ; )  He is still loving everything Christmas!  My mom has a mini Christmas tree that lights up and is very colorful.  He loves to sit close to it and his main objective seems to reach for the ornaments on the tree and eat them!  Hahaha  He is so silly!
