Where has the time gone? Jack will be 7 months old in one week! He's so much more alert with his surroundings and gets bored easily! We are still using the baby swing but he doesn't like it too much if he's awake. Naps are pretty much obsolete! He cat-naps, sleeps 10-15 minutes stretches and that's if you're holding him!
We bought a little high chair that snaps onto the counter & started using it last week. He loves it. Most of the time he wants to sit there and play with his toys and he'll do it for a long time. Other times he just doesn't want to sit in it at all and there's no way you're putting him in it!! LOL
A few days ago, maybe last Thursday or Friday, he started trying to push up on his hands and knees. He's made progress since then and can get up pretty high now. I can't remember if they sit first or crawl first - the girls seem like such a blur and I really wish I would have kept a journal or something with them so I could remember.
He's eating fruits and vegetables. We started him about 6 months old, maybe a week before the 6 month mark. He loves squash and peaches but not really anything else. Getting him to eat the other things are challenging, but he does pretty well.
He drools often. The other day, me and Abby were sitting on the couch and she wanted to hold Jack. When I raised him up to sit him in her lap, she freaked out, the slobbers were about to drip on her and she looked pretty frightened and gross out!! LOL
His eyes are still blue. Not sure they'll stay blue, but maybe. He wrinkles his nose too when he looks at something or someone. It's cute. Last week he was doing it and breathing in and out of his nose like a bull, it was so funny!! He kinda stopped the breathing thing but still wrinkles his nose.
And he's still chubby! His legs are huge and his little fingers look like vienna sausages (is that what they're called??)....his knuckles are dimpled too!! He can't sit up yet by himself but will sit for a second between my legs before falling forward or sideways.
He does want to be held ALL the time and it makes life a little more challenging as far as getting stuff done. But, I try to remember that this isn't going to last forever and someday I'll wish I could go back to the days when he just wanted me to hold him all the time. And I'll be sad when I can't. :(
