Jack is 5 Months old today. I have forgotten how much I love this age! He has such a sweet personality that is really coming out lately.
Jack is so flirty! He raises his eyebrows, smiles so freely, and just lights up when he is smiled at all day long. He flirts when anyone, everywhere we go. He makes ladies around town melt on a daily basis.
He has the cutest little tuft of hair on top of his head, that gets talked about probably more than anything. It is really long right at the top of his head, and almost bald everywhere else (with the exclusion of his little rat tail going on in the back:)). Just last week, though, his hair really started growing back, more and more every day.
He has a gorgeous smile that lights up his entire face, up to the top of his forehead.
His blue eyes are like sparkling pools that dance when he sees someone he loves.
He is sitting up like a frog pretty well now.
He loves his exersaucer, looking at himself in the mirror, grabbing toys and putting them in his mouth, watching his brother, swinging, and laying on the floor with someone with him.
He makes a smacking noise and his mouth looks so cute. He sucks in his bottom lip and his big cheeks get even rounder.
He scoots backwards when he is on his back and forwards when he's on his belly.
He loves to be sung to and watches our mouths.
He stands really sturdily and can stand for a while with me barely holding onto his hands.
He is almost ready to roll over, but hasn't there yet.
He likes to be held a lot. We probably hold him too much, but it is easier to carry him along with me wherever I go with his big brother James.
He is still waking up to be fed in the middle of the night. Lately it's been reminiscent of the newborn days!
He loves the stroller and being outside.
When he's upset, he can be calmed pretty easily by going outside or by walking around.
He likes to suck his thumb or fingers, and it's so adorable!
His eyes are glued to me a lot right now and he stares at me so lovingly. One of the sweetest parts of motherhood!
The way he holds on to us is like a little Koala bear.
He is happy being passed around, but he's just started getting hysterical when he's with someone else and gets scared. He did this at the Ladies Retreat recently. One of the sweet older ladies held him for a long time. She was really good with him, and he loved her. I left to go put my things away in my room. When I came back, he was crying really hard from a lady walking by with a boisterous laugh. No one could calm him down, but the second I picked him up, he stopped crying. I love being his safe person who he stops crying immediately with! He just grabbed my hair on both sides and buried his face into mine. Another sweetest part of motherhood.
Jack weighed 17.6 lbs at the doctor last week. He has enormous thighs, big feet, big hands, and just looks solid!
