Our happy boy hanging out with mom in the kitchen
Sorry it's been so long since i've updated our blog page!! I can't believe he's 6 months old already! Just to update those of you who we haven't seen or talked to in a while, Jacob is now over 22lbs and wearing (mostly) 18 month clothes! He's eating rice pablum, yams, banana, peaches, pears, peas, teething cookies, chewing on apple, pear and his favorite right now is chewing on ice cubes! He also likes to drink water out of his sippy cup or our glasses. He's sleeping okay...not good...but better...ever since he was sick on Savary his sleep schedules have been all over the map. Dave put him to be the other night with a bottle of formula and my milk...it took over 2 hours before he finally got him down, but he slept for quite a while after that! Dave has a lot more patience then I have in that situation, I kept going upstairs and he kept waving me away even though Jacob was crying his head off! Dave said he kept looking towards the stairs checking to see if I was coming up...it was nice for me to have a bit of a break!! Jacob is still loving his Jolly Jumper from Grandma Dar, it's portable so we've been taking it outside so Jacob can jump while I work in the yard...he's just about grown out of it though, he's now on the highest notch! Jacob is also loving our cats and they actually don't mind him...they'll take love however they can get it...Grady will let Jacob pet him and even pull his ears...when he starts to scream and get excited the cat will usually take off...Orphan likes to curl up beside Jacob while he's nursing on the couch...when Orphan starts to purr, Jacob gets distracted and goes crazy trying to get the cat...it's pretty funny! Hmmm...he's starting to roll more sparatically now and starting to sit up on his own. I think that one of these days he's just going to start walking and skip all the other stages 'cause his legs are so strong. He's also started doing sit-ups...or at least partial sit-ups...he's working hard to get a six pack! lol
Dave's new job is going really good. He's a lot happier and says that he's glad to be working hard again!! He's been working tonnes and tonight he's going in at midnight to do some tide work, so he's been in bed since 6ish..
We've been doing tonnes of work in our yard...Jordan and Jess sold their house in 8 days and they have inspired us to get our house done and put it up on the market! Our goal is to put it up by August 1st but we'll see how that goes...we still have quite a bit of stuff to do!
Auntie Sammy is coming to live in our basement suite. It'll be nice for Jacob to spend more time with his Auntie and get to know her better. We're going to miss Gen and Harrison, but we know it's best for them and we wish them luck in their new place!!
That's all for now!
Talk to you all soon.

Over 22 pounds wow!! Jaclyn was just 18 pounds at her 6 month check-up. Does Jacob like to sit on his own yet? Jaclyn is starting to and can sit there for quite awhile now on her own. It's really neat watching her try to keep her balance. Hope all is well over there and we'll talk to you soon :o)
