6 months

Jake turned 6 months old on September 11th! I used to think that the crazy, red-eyed, sleep deprived moms that would stop me in Starbucks were delusional when they offered the advice, 'Enjoy it....time goes so fast!' Turns out they were right. And now I'm that crazy woman when I see a mom and newborn out and about.

Jake's hit some major milestones this month. He is officially a side sleeper, which is pretty cute. And he continues to be a pretty fantastic sleeper, albeit still a fairly awful napper. He has started solids and so far really loves: cereal (any kind), sweet potatoes, squash, apple sauce, pears, and bananna. He will actually eat pretty much anything as long as it has some bannana in it. We're moving on to the meats and eventually some dairy soon. He's eating 2x per day, breakfast and dinner. Boy, that kid can eat!

He's very vocal and is babbling a lot now. He is learning how to get our attention with differnet sounds and behaviors. He is very into his environment and doesn't like to miss out on anything. He is also sitting very well independently. I bet he is crawling soon!
