My Joshie

This picture means the world to me!
I walked in the room and my boys were
rolling around on the ground being silly
Even though it's a little blurry, I love it!
I couldn't have set it up any better!
I love you Josh! You're an amazing daddy!




I hope this one doesn't creep you out or anything
Josh has the most AMAZING blue eyes
I have ever seen! I LOVE them!
And super long eye lashes! Look at them!
They are CRAZY long! They are blonde so it's
hard to tell so you might just have to take my word on it
I was hoping Jacob would get his eyes
but oh well, I still love Jacob's eyes
Maybe next time hee hee




Stuck



Jacob is figuring out the rolling thing!
It's so cute! He can roll himself where ever he wants
He can go side to side, in a circle, and backwards
He can't quite figure out how to go forward
but I'm sure that's coming very soon =)

So he got himself stuck underneath the chair
and instead of help him out
I go get the camera!!!

Once I figure out our video camera
I'll post some videos

New new and new

New: outfits
New: activity table
SO CUTE!






Look at that face
"I'm ready to learn!"

I no longer remember what it feels like to sleep


After 7 1/2 months Jacob is still not sleeping through the night. Not at all. Not even close. Momma is TIRED!!! He wakes up EVERY 3 hours... no joke. He's almost 100% breast fed and maybe this has something to do with it, maybe not. I don't know. I'm just not a fan of the cry out method. I don't think badly of people who do, it's just not for me. It just doesn't feel right to let him scream him self to sleep. Now, we don't jump at the first sign of fussing, we let him try to go back to sleep on his own and it works about 50% of the time. We just don't feel comfortable. We tried in once and he freaked out! It took him 2 hours to calm down after we went and picked him up. It was very sad. And ever since then, I kid you not, he learn how to really SCREAM and now he does it almost everyday during the day when he wants something. SO...... After all that... any advice? I am one tired momma. Solid food didn't help one little bit. It actually made it so he doesn't poop regularly anymore, so we stopped feeding him solids daily. I don't know. I will talk to his dr at his next appointment, but that's not till 9 months. He is a pretty happy boy most of the time. I just wanted to see what has worked for my friends. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!!! =)

And here is just a cute picture
that has nothing to do with this post! hee hee

7 Months



I'm a little late on this one
sorry =)

Current:
Weight: 23.5 pounds (bathroom scale)
Hair color: strawberry blonde with a bald patch in back
Eye color: Grayish blue with brown in the middle
He stated rice cereal
He hasn't crawled yet, or even gotten on all fours
but it's just around the corner cause he seems very interested
He has 4 teeth on the top and 2 on bottom
OH and he grinds his teeth during the day YUCK
I hate that sound, it's like nails on a chalk board
He wears 12-18 months clothes, but the 12 month are 
starting to get too small, I can't believe it
5/29/09 he started saying dadadada


Likes:
Mommy and Daddy
Mommies full and undivided attention
Mommies you know whats
Eating solids, he's a very clean eater so far
(We only gave him a little rice cereal cause
we're not in any hurry to feed him solids)
Bath time, splashing and toys
Music, especially being sung to
Playing with his tongue
Biting everything and everyone
Standing up
Being bounced around
Looking out the window and being outside
Making as much noise as possible (I still think it's cute)
He bangs toys together, sings, babbles and breathes heavy =)
Being tickled
Being tossed in the air

Dislikes:
Being hungry, tired, or too hot
Sleeping for longer than 4 hours at a time... ugh
Strongly dislikes his pacifier to pacify him
He only likes to play with his pacifier like a toy
Watching someone walk away from him, especially mommy
Water
Loud people (sorry Rach lol, he does love you though)
Being on his tummy too long, he lets you know

Do all babies do this? =)

the upper K9 teeth will be coming in very soon
I can tell... and YES
HE BITES!!!







He has learned to glare
He makes this face every time you
put his bare feet in the grass





First time eating rice cereal 6 1/2 months
He did pretty well



Here's my attempt at creative photography and editing







Bath time!





He's eyes are so beautiful! 
They are grayish blue with brown
in the middle and "marbling" throughout
I don't know if you can tell






Okay do all babies do this with their tongue???
It's so funny, I have never seen a baby do it before.
Little weirdo =)
