He's had two doctor appointments this week. On Monday he saw the cardiologist. (He had to see him before we left the hospital in July. There is a valve that closes soon after birth they were mildly concerned with because it hadn't closed yet.) We got great news that the hole had closed and the flap (?) was almost closed. We didn't realize there were two things they were concerned about until we talked with Dr. Reddy but he assured us that there was nothing to be worried over and that he did not need to see him again. Great news!
The second appointment was Wednesday for his 6 month check up and shots. Dr. Flanagan said everything looked great. He's in the 75% for length and 50% for weight and head size. He's dropped % for weight so it looks like he's leaning out and going to be really tall. I wonder where he's getting that height from?? haha (for those of you who don't know - his dad is 6' 3") He did have to get two shots and a vaccine drink at this appointment. He turns beet red when they give him shots and then just lets out this loud cry. It really only lasted less than a minute though and he was over it. He's a tough guy :)
So, at 6 months, Jacob is rolling from his tummy to his back (and only once so far from his back to tummy), sitting for a little bit before falling over, reaching and grabbing toys and everything else he can get his paws on, and laughing like crazy. I love his big smile and his laugh. Jacob is such a cuddle bear and he smiles so big whenever you hug him tight and love on him. He's such a happy baby and is really a joy to take care of! I feel so blessed to have him and Taylor.
Speaking of Taylor, she is still the best big sister to Jacob. She tries so hard to find toys for him, gets him his paci, will come find me if he's crying, etc. She loves him so much and you can really tell. I was talking to her the other day about taking her to a movie for the first time and she was visibly upset that Jacob wouldn't be able to go with us. She just couldn't understand why he wouldn't go too. Such a sweet girl!

I love the picture of him in the bouncer - he always looks so happy! And I'm glad the cardiologist gave him the all clear. We take Luke to see Dr. Reddy next month and we're hoping for the same outcome.
Thanks for the updates!!! Love to see pics of the kiddos. Send them my love. Can't wait to see you in 5 weeks! Birthday present is almost on it's way....hopefully should be ready in time to make it to Houston by the end of next week!
