SOOOO, life is just crazy and I haven't had any time to update my blog other than posting pics or video. I may have some time on my hands the next 7 weeks while we are out of school, so I will try to start writing again! The boy is 6 months old today. I know it is so cliche but time is moving so quickly. Everyone tells you that before you have kids but I didn't really believe them!
Jacob's physical development is moving along at a rapid pace. In the last couple of weeks, he has started sitting up unassisted and creeping around wherever I lay him down. Babyproofing the house and my in-laws is in the near future! I set him down on his belly a couple of days ago (like I always do) and returned less than a minute later and he was gnawing on our coffee table (a good 4 feet from where I had placed him!). He rolls over pretty effortlessly now and we have found him a number of times with his knees pulled up under his belly. Crawling coming soon!! My favorite is finding him in his crib at night with his butt up in the air. It looks so funny!
We start swim lessons next week. I don't expect him to retain any of it. It will just give us something to do everyday to avoid the dreadful heat! He really loves Grandma and Grandpa's pool so we figured he might enjoy a pool with other munchkins. He is really quite aware of other children and becomes pretty social after he warms up (kind of like mom and dad :) ha ha).
I am happy to be off work for a while. I am gonna soak in as much as the boy as possible. He really has a great little personality and I wish I could spend every day with him. I am going to savor the now, though and not think about August. Maybe, I won't have to go back. . .
