7 Months Old!

Jacob,

I cannot believe that you are already 7 months old! Where has the time gone? As I was looking through picture folders on the computer, I came across pictures from your first few days of life. I cannot believe how much you have changed and how much our family has changed since you were born. It is just amazing to me!

Little boy, you are absolutely the happiest baby I have ever known! You are always smiling and laughing, unless you are tired, hungry, or do not feel very well. Even when you are upset, you do not cry very much. You are currently sitting up for an extended period of time now! You have also been rolling over for the past few weeks. You do not crawl on the top of your head as much as you did since you realized that you can roll to get what to what you want. I just love watching you! You have also graduated from the infant tub to sitting up and taking a bath with Ethan. You absolutely love bath time. When it is time for you to get out, you do not like that very much, and you let Daddy and me know about it! Your laugh and smile are very contagious…it is very hard to stay upset or mad when you are smiling at me.

You still love your brother very much and constantly have your eyes on him. Anywhere he goes, your glaze follows. The other day, Ethan woke you up from your nap because he would not sleep, and he had you laughing so hard. He said, "Look Jacob! Watch me!", and you just laughed right along with him.

Jacob, you began eating solid foods right after you turned 6 months old, and it took you a little while to get used to eating. Now, you eat breakfast and dinner…which consists of either rice cereal or oatmeal and a fruit (bananas, apples, or pears). We are slowly introducing new foods to you and will begin vegetables next week! I sure do hope you like vegetables as much as your brother does!

You are growing so much, and it just thrills my heart every day that I am home with you. I love you so very much and love the little boy you are becoming.

Love,

Momma
