7 months

7 months and Jake is on the move! He is very strong, can stand with some support and will go from his belly to sitting with  no problem. Between rolling, schooching, and reaching, he can span a room in a matter of minutes. He hasn't figured out the coordination required for crawling yet, but we think that it will happen any day now. We lowered his crib because he is able to pull himself up onto his knees!

In the verbal department, Jake is starting to mimmic our sounds. He clicks his tongue and when I click back, we seem to have a very important conversation. His first consonants are "gee" and "gaaa." I'm on the look out for "ma ma" and "da da" but they haven't arrived quite yet. He is very vocal and responds to voices and also singing.

He's started eating a wider variety of foods and likes pretty much everything :) Don't worry, buddy, the countdown to birthday cake is down to 5 months now!
