Jacob: Five Months


Time!  She is a fickle and fast mistress.  How is our little boy 5 months old?  Time is moving so quickly and I wish I could just slow it down.  Most days.  ;)


At five months, Jacob:

Has been given a name and a blessing by Daddy

Weighed in at 15 lbs. 8 oz. at 4 1/2 months

Is 25 inches tall

Moved back to his Los Angeles home

Loves, loves, loves the bath tub and gives Mama or Daddy a shower with his splashes each time we bathe him 

Loves the bath tub so much that when he is intolerably cranky, we stick him in the tub

Rolls over both his left and right sides

Rolls front to back and back to front

Scoots all over the place using mostly his legs while putting his hands in his mouth

Is seriously so close to crawling!

Has started solid foods (sweet potatoes!) at the encouragement of his doctor based on his extreme interest in putting things in his mouth and watching us while we eat

Has become a better napper

Has become a worse nighttime sleeper

Is learning to love the Jumperoo!

Went to Disneyland for the first time and is excited to use our Annual Pass all year!

Is mostly happy but let's us know when he's not  :)

Has a favorite song: Popcorn Popping!  Or our bath time lyric variations to the same tune. :)


I adore our sweet Jakey boy.  He is growing and learning so much every day!  I am pretty sure that he is going to give me a run for my money - he is a mover, he is determined, and he is spunky!  He is incredibly sweet and earnest and when he looks at me with those big blue eyes, I know he loves me - unconditionally!  What a babe.
