Jacob...

Jacob is growing in more ways than one. He has successfully become a very chubby baby! We weighed him the other day and he was around 18 pounds at 5 months old!! I can't believe this! What a chubby boy! (Side note: Alayna only weighed 19 lbs at 1 year old!!!) We have truly enjoyed each little roll and chub. We think he looks like marshmallows stacked on top of each other. He has successfully accomplished rolling over! He only did it one or two times, and then one day he just kept rolling and rolling. He gets where he wants now! Except that he has quickly learned that the tummy is not the place he wants to be! So he just has to fix it by rolling again. He has also accomplished the "eating his toes" development step. I learned that if I leave his pants off, the toes go straight to his mouth! Alayna has enjoyed relearning all of these developmental skills again, just like Jacob. (See Picture below!) Jacob is celebrating, because he loves to eat! We first started him out with rice cereal, but that does not satisfy this hungry little guy. He celebrates when he gets pears, peas, squash or sweet potatoes…but green beans he can do with out! What a delight it is to see him be so happy and satisfied! He truly is a sweet little guy! We are sure glad he came to our family.
