Six Months Old!

Happy Half Birthday, Jace! I can’t believe our little guy is already so old. But he’s also so cute, so fun, so entertaining, so crazy, so stinky, so silly, so lovable, so busy, so, so, so… Every day I fall more and more in love with my baby boy, and every day I find it harder and harder to stop playing with him and put him to bed at night. Jace charms everyone he comes in contact with—whether it’s by smiling at the person behind us in line at the grocery story, being happy regardless of who is holding him, or talking up a storm to anyone who will listen.

Beyond having a great personality (and being cute too), he’s reaching new milestones each day. He can sit up on his own for quite a while and can even adjust himself to keep his balance. While he learned to roll over a long time ago, he’d rather just stay on his back or his belly—and when he’s on his belly, he tries to crawl. Unfortunately, his attempts at crawling are pushing his knees under himself while plowing his face into the ground, and then he wonders why he didn’t get anywhere. He loves, loves, loves to eat—so far he’s had green beans, sweet potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, pears, apples, peaches and apricots. Pears are his absolute favorite.

He’s been taking reflux medicine for the past month and we’ve seen so much improvement because of it! He still spits up here and there, but a bib is no longer a necessary accessory and he doesn’t act like he’s starving all the time. In fact, we’re now able to go four hours between each feeding, and he sleeps for 11-12 hours straight each night!

I LOVE THIS BABY!
