6 months old

Jacob is 6 months old today! He celebrated by going to visit Daddy at work. It was fun to visit people and have them all say how cute Jacob is.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jacob had a very exciting Valentine's Day. Well, most of the day was spent the same as any other day, playing and eating and occasional fussing. In the evening, he got to sit in his Bumbo seat and watch Mommy and Daddy eat a heart-shaped pizza (it was a very fancy meal). Then he helped us open cards and test candy packaging. He tried his best, but he couldn't get into Tom's sour sugar candy. Later, he took a nap while we watched a movie, and then he played for awhile. All in all, it was a good day!

Jacob has been up to a lot since I last posted. He's been doing very well with the cereal. After the rice, we moved on to oatmeal. He seems to like that better than rice, although he had to get used to the more lumpy texture. The introduction of solid food brought the expected digestive difficulty, so luckily he's also taken to prune juice. He doesn't like it alone (I don't blame him), but if I mix it into his cereal he gobbles it right up. Next he gets to try barley cereal. Sounds delicious, doesn't it? In a couple of weeks, we will start on fruits and vegetables. I'm sure he can't wait for that.

We had his baby dedication at our church this past Sunday. It was a really nice service and we were so happy that most of our family was able to be there. I'll put some pictures in another post. I was so busy that day, I didn't take any! I'll have to get some from those who did, especially ones from when he put his fingers in the cake.
