Jack is almost 7 months old





Ok so I have not been on here in forever, and I am sorry. Jack will be 7 months old on friday and he is getting so big. We went to the pediatrician last Thursday and he weighs 20.6 lbs and is 27 1/2 inches long (definitely in the 95th percentile). Jack has started eating solids twice a day and loves his food. I am making his baby food (my new culinary calling) and his favorites are sweet potatoes and carrots with rice cereal. He can sit up, roll over and hold his own bottle. It is so crazy how quickly he changes and how he is developing his own personality. He loves his Sophie the giraffe toy, listening to music (even if it is just me singing), playing with his many, many toys and getting a bath.
Jack thoroughly enjoyed his first Halloween dressed as Frankenstein. He helped mommy hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters, maybe we will take him next year :-)
Jack's new adventure will be going to Mexico on thursday with the family. He will be the only 7 month old I know with a stamp in his passport. I am trying frantically to get all packed- it is amazing how much stuff one little person requires- yikes!
We are looking forward to the holidays and of course Jack's first Christmas will be so fun (pictures to come I promise).
Here are several recent pictures of Jack doing what he does best- being cute!
