Ben Birthday Part 1

Here are some pictures from Ben's birthday celebration part 1 :)

6 months old

Jacob is 6 months old (and 2 days), or 183.08 days, or 4393.92 hours, or 263635.2 minutes, 15818112 Seconds old. A lot has happened in the past six months.

Jacob has gone from around 7 pounds after birth to about 18 1/2 today.
He has learned to smile, roll over, sit, laugh, eat cereal and lots of different foods.
He has had tons of tests done at the doctor for his reflux.
He has learned to tolerate his yucky zantac.
He has slept through the night 2x (hopefully at 7 months I will be able to add a lot to that number)
He found his thumb
He now loves to talk
He has learned how to drink from both a sippy cup and a bottle.
He loves to jump in his jumperoo and sit in his saucer
He has made mom get a huge mat for the floor to try and prevent all the excess spit up on the carpet

A lot of other stuff has happened in our lives since Jake was born as well.

Most importantly Ben is potty trained (I would say he is fully trained except for the temporary set back we had last week0
Our house is for sale again
Josh actually comes home from work at a normal time
Ben is almost 3
Our house is getting smaller and smaller by the moment
Our family is amazing :)
and looking at the pictures we are all much tanner

Here are a few pictures to compare Ben and Jacob 6 months ago and today

Benjamin

Josh was putting Ben to bed and Ben was not being the most cooperative child around during this procedure. At one point I was in the room and Josh was goofing around and I said "josh" Ben then repeated "Daddy Damon" Josh looked at him and said "what?" and they he said "Josh Damon"

Watch Out

Jacob will be crawling before we know it. He was up on his arms and knees today for quite a long time a few times in a row. I just know that crawling is the next step :( :)

Our up north weekend in pictures

All ready to go swimming with my snow boots on and my life jacket

Jet Skiing was pretty fun buy kayaking with Daddy was even better

The water on Grand Traverse Bay was so warm it was great to swim in and I loved looking for all the rocks in the sand
