Boo Bear is 7 months!

Yes, we call him Boo Bear. No, he will probably never live this down. But Jacob is 7 months old now and having lots of fun!
He is now sitting unassisted for long periods of time and managing to roll over when he does fall. He has become a bit attached to Mommy and doesn't always want to be set down or for her to leave the room. He is doing pretty well with sleeping. We put him down at around 7pm now and usually don't hear from him until about 5am. Hopefully that will eventually turn into 7 or 8 am but for now its okay. He almost always just eats and then goes right back to sleep for another couple of hours. This growing boy is just hungry! At his 6 month checkup he was 17 lbs 10 oz so we're guessing he's a little more than that now. He is in the 75% for height and 50% for weight now. Jacob is really good at pushing himself up with his arms when he's on his belly but so far no crawling. He does manage to scoot around his crib quite a bit though and this has led to some waking up at night to get him "unstuck" from the end of the bed. He is such a good natured baby. Always smiling, laughing and loving to cuddle. He can sit and watch Taylor, the cat, and the dogs for a long time. They all do such interesting things I guess!
Mommy and Daddy are going on vacation soon without the kiddos so please pray that everything goes well and that they are good little kids for their Mimi!  We will miss them sooo much but we definitely need some R&R.

Something to smile about...

I wanted to post this to have to look back on.  Both of my kids love their crocheted blankets that Jessica made them. Even more than the ones that I made them! But Jacob REALLY loves his. It has gotten to the point that when I lay him down in his crib and his blanket is at the end of his bed, he is trying to reach for it. Then, when I pick it up to cover him up with it, he starts laughing. Then, once he has it in his hands, he buries his face in it, snuggles down, and goes right to sleep. With all the trouble I had trying to get Taylor to take naps, I am so thankful that Jacob is a good sleeper. And it just makes me smile to see how much pure joy he gets out of that little blanket.
