Jack is 5 Months

I can't believe that Jack is already 5 months old! He is getting so big and cute! We can't believe how much he looks like Callie did at this age. He is weighing in at 16 pounds 12 oz (and that's with his feet hanging over the end of the scale that we have at home). He is eating solids and loves the spoon! He eats rice cereal, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and has just started with applesauce. We tried green peas, but he hates them! I don't really blame him for that. I don't like them either. We'll try them again in a couple of weeks.

He is smiling all the time now and coos and talks to us lots. It's the cutest thing. He got a Jumperoo for Christmas and loves it even though he's not really jumping very much yet. He is very active and kicks his legs any time he's laying down. He's discovered his hands and watches them all the time. He will look at his right hand, then move it from side to side watching it the whole time. I guess he's mesmerized with the fact that he's making that thing move.

He's still not rolling over, but we're practicing! Hopefully he'll do it by his 6 month check-up. We have an appointment with the new cranial band place this afternoon. Hopefully we can get the ball rolling on that so we don't have to be in that thing any longer than necessary. Enjoy the pics!

Disney Trip!

My friends told me that I never update my blog, so here is an update! The week between Christmas and New Year's we were lucky enough to go to Disney World for 3 days then on a Disney Cruise to Nassau, Bahamas and Disney's island, Castaway Cay, with Tim's entire family (minus Jack). It was an awesome trip. The kids had SO much fun. Callie is 4 1/2, Collin and Jacob are both 3 1/2. While we were there Jeri and Jason were also at Disney world with their kids, Delaini and Landon, celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. We hung out with them on Tuesday at the Magic Kingdom. We had a fantastic time. I would take the trip again in a heartbeat!
