Tonight, after my bath, I looked in Jacobs crib to find him
laying there, awake in the dark. It
startled me; I thought he was asleep. He
is the mellowest baby I have ever encountered.
I picked him up and we laid on my bed and listened to music. He didn’t require anything. He just laid next to me and looked
around. Once in a while, he would look
at me and grab my cheek. But, mostly, he
didn’t move a muscle. This kid totally
loves music. My boss thinks it’s because
even in the womb, Jacob has pretty much constantly listened to music. Maybe.
Earlier today, he thought that me saying the word “puppy” was
hilarious. Every time I said it he would
crack up while drool streamed down his chin.
He even lost his breath he was laughing so hard. It was super adorable. He knows his name and looks at me when I call
it out. He is grabbing everything
and has added high-pitched screams to his jibber-jabber. Some people say he sounds like a bird. He likes oatmeal, sweet potatoes and bananas,
but he didn’t do so well with apples. At six months, his alien hand syndrome is
almost curedJ He has made two escapes from his baby swing. The first escape occurred while I took puppy
out to grab the mail. He was on the
floor when I got back inside just cooing away on his tummy. The second escape occurred while we were
getting ready for the day. He started
crying and we all rushed to him with a group hug and he was fine. The swing isn’t high up; I think he was just
startled. He has lost almost all of his
newborn hair and has all new strawberry blonde coming in. He looks so much different than when he was
born. He's been having a rough time with his teeth. I got him a teething necklace from the UK that’s unpolished Baltic Amber. Allegedly, when it touches his skin, it warms up and releases the essential oils to sooth pain. I’m not sure how much it’s soothing him, but it is certainly adorable..
