Jake 6 Months

Little Jakorino...or shall we say definitely not so little is 20 pounds now and rolling around like a gymnast. He first started rolling over from back to belly but was unable to roll back and cried like crazy the entire night because he hated being on his belly. It only took him about a week to learn how to roll full circle and now he prefers to sleep on his belly which is great for his head which we still have one month to correct. Our families don't think he will need a helmet, but we will have to see what his doctor says at our next appointment. We switched him from rice cereal to oatmeal since it was constipating him a lot. He has it for breakfast with his formula mixed in and then the bottle to finish. We started him on butternut squash and then gave him pear as well. He loves both which is great, however for the past few days he has had severe diarrhea so I took him off of it for a day and am giving him soy formula instead. He got his first tooth at 5.5 months and a few days later his second one on the bottom appeared. He now has two adorable little teeth and is still teething like crazy.

Jake loves to giggle and has become very loud. He has started to babble and today even sounded out mamamama. He is MUCH louder than Max was but is such a happy baby it is adorable to watch. He is on a size two nipple now and has even used a size 3 from time to time. He is wearing a size 3 diaper which is becoming a bit small so soon I'll be putting him in 4's.

Jake still adores his big brother and looks for him all day long. Once he spots him he just looks at him with the biggest smile and big puppy dog eyes. He is sleeping so well these days and rarely ever gets up during the night. He still can't sit on his own but sits in the bumbo without a problem. His feeding schedule is still every three hours six ounces with one eight ounce feed and his nighttime feed 7 ounces. He eats solids twice a day and I'll be introducing pureed apple into the mix now.

I just organized his entire closet having to pack up all his clothes size newborn to six month. He now has 9-12 months in his closet which still baffles me. He is just such a loving little Buddha baby and we really lucked out with him. My hair has finally stopped falling out at the rapid pace it was. I barely have any hair left and I have baby hairs all over the front which looks awful. I am so glad it has all stopped and hope it will fully grow in again. I am back at my pre pregnancy wait before I had Jake but still ten pounds over from when I had Max.
In two weeks we have our doctors appointment for Jake and I'm just so excited to see what my big juice bug learns next!
