Jake: 6 months

Weight: 15lbs, 7.5oz (25%)
Height: 25.5in (25%)
Head: 16.5 (10%)

Jake went to his 6mo check-up yesterday and everything's good. He's still on breastmilk and eating solids at least once a day. I've been meaning to make some purees for him but haven't gotten around to it. We're giving him Gerber Organics for now, and he seems to enjoy them.

Hai bought him a nice jogging stroller, so when it gets alittle cooler out there, he'll be offroading in style. For now, our dining room is his designated play area. He's learning to sit on his own, and he's tolerating tummy time better even though he prefers to stand.

Ông bà nội (Hai's parents) stayed for a few days after their Missouri trip and babysat for us while we finished cleaning the townhouse, met with our builder and took care of other errands. That was such a treat!

Up next: Mother's Day Out (MDO) starts Aug. 27th

Settling into our apartment...

Moving sucks...period. There's one more move 5 months away so that will be fun :(

Here's some pictures of him eating and making a mess. He's doing really well with banana and cereal. The second picture is of his first self- inflicted black eye. He was probably swinging his arms around and hit himself in the left eye. He now has carpet through the apartment so he should be able to roam freely in a couple of months. He's starting to sit upright by himself for a few seconds - slowly but surely he's getting there. And while I was working on the computer and on the phone during a meeting, Judy thought it was a good idea for a photo shoot. He liked it up there.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 

Jake: 5 and a half months

 

He's wearing PJ's at night these day along with the a swaddle and no blanket.
 

His first trip to Costco.

 

Jake and his teething ducky.
 

 
He's growing so long that we had to raise up his exersaucer up a notch.

 
 
 

 
 
We are using sock for his mittens these days :)  
Sexy Tummy time!  

 
 
I got a picture of him with a tear running down his face - he was crying his eyes out :)
 
 

The Big 5

5 months. He isn't sleeping through the night anymore :( He has started to wake up at 2am - a pacifier would get him back asleep until 4am and that's when he wants food. He was sleeping better when he was swaddled and only on milk - we started cereal a few weeks back. We switched from rice cereal to oatmeal cereal and he's liking that better we think. He's nails are crazy sharp so mittens are still in use. He's seems like he growing longer more than getting fatter. Anyways, we have a babysitter coming this Friday so we can go out to dinner @ Bob's steak with Dallas/Penny and Mike. This is our first time with a paying sitter so hope it goes well. We're also taking him to my company's outing this Saturday at Main event and then have design meeting afterwards. Busy weekend! Oh and he got a new puppy :)

Jake: 4 months and 3 weeks old and July 4th

He wasn't able to make it out to see the fireworks at Kaboom town because we were afraid it was going to be too loud for him but he had visitors and we had a BBQ at the Grimmets to celebrate the 4th. Here's some video and pictures from the week.

Father's Day 2009

Better late than never...
 

Buzz Cut!

He was losing a lot of hair and it was patchy so Judy thought it was time for his first hair cut. He looks different but we're starting to like it. He looks like a little Monk :) It's his summer cut and by winter hopefully, it will grow back out.

 
 

I thought he would be scared of the noise but he barely notice it.
