Almost 7 months old...

Wow...Jack is almost 7 moths old! We officially retired the infant carrier and car seat bases from the cars yesterday. EEP! Steve installed the new big boy car seats in both cars.

Here is a pic of Jack testing out his new car seat:

In other news, it appears that his new favorite food is mangos! My mom bought him a pouch of organic baby food mangos, and of course (because I can't buy it around here) it's his favorite. I found a similar product so we'll see if it's a big hit as well. I'll probably try to make my own mangos too if I can get them pureed enough. 

He still likes to talk a lot, lots and lots of babbling...."mamama", "dadada", "babababa".... he is also VERY ticklish, which is really funny. You can get some good laughs out of him by tickling his feet, face, arms....anything! He is also getting very strong and starting to ferociously pull hair, pinch, and teethe on my arm! Ouch!! I think he's starting to teethe for real, and frozen washcloths are his favorite thing lately.

Oh! And just about a week or two ago, his hair started lightening up and curling!! It's very wild, I don't know what to do with it.

My guestimate is that he's about 19+ pounds now...

6 months old already?!

Jack is 6 months old now...can you believe it? Here are some of his recent accomplishments...

He went swimming for the first time in Grandma's pool:

He tried peas as his first vegetable:

He tried out a sippy cup:

He got messy with some carrots:

He now says "mamamamamama!!" - I think he is just making up the words, but Steve is sure that he is actually looking for me when he says mama :) Not sure which is true because there seems to be some validity to him saying mama and him wanting me. He only says it when he cries though.

He's still a very easy going baby and sleeps through the night (10-12 hours!) He has fun at daycare and is now playing on the floor and rolling around to get where he wants to go. He's not crawling yet. So far he has eaten rice cereal, apples, peas, and carrots. We'll be introducing new fruits and veggies each week!

At his 6 month checkup on June 4th, he weighed 18lbs 4oz and was 26 inches long! I think it may be almost time to retire the baby car seat carrier and install the car seat...
