Our little JackAttack is now over 5 months old! Here's what he's been up to lately:
- He can roll over all the way! He starts on his tummy and kicks his legs and all of a sudden he's on his back!
- He has started eating solids. We started with rice cereal once a day and now we're going to start adding vegetables and other grains and move to solids twice a day. He doesn't get all of it in his mouth, but does eat most of it! He loves playing around with the spoon and bowl, though.
- He just started experimenting with a sippy cup this morning. He didn't really understand its purpose and just wanted to chew on the handles.
- We think he has started teething. He had a really fussy morning on Sunday. Adam was home alone with him and tried everything: pacifier, teething toys, fingers, bottle, wet washcloth, etc....until finally giving in and giving him a little Tylenol after an hour of inconsolable screaming. He slept for two hours and then woke up and fussed for a little bit. Later that night he had another screaming session but was able to sleep most of the night. I think a little nub of a tooth is popping out of his top gum, though.
- He is going through a major growth spurt. At the beginning of February, he really hadn't gained very much weight since Christmas. Since then, however, he's packed on a couple of pounds. We think he's nearing 15 (!!!) pounds. He's still wearing 3-6 month clothing and size 2 diapers, though.
- Ever since Grandpa Tom came to visit (and be Jack's "manny" for a week--thank you!), Jack cannot stop making raspberry sounds. He thinks it's the funniest thing ever! He'll raspberry, then wait for you to do it back, and then he'll do it again and so on. It is an endless but hilarious game.
- He is still super super happy all the time. We really are spoiled to have such an adorable and personable baby.
