6 Months!

Last Wednesday, April 24th, Jackson turned 6 months old!  I can't believe it!  Time has flown by so quickly.  It doesn't seem like he's 6 months old yet but it also seems like he's been with us forever.  I love him!  I have truly enjoyed every minute of the past 6 months.  I love watching and playing with him everyday.  He is so interesting and expressive.  He is changing everyday and I love watching those changes.  He has always been alert but he is so aware of everything around him now.  Currently, Jackson weights 15.05 lbs and is 24 inches long.  Here are the things I have noticed in the past month and the things he's doing now:

Rolling on his side
Reaching for things with two hands
Follows mommy and daddy around the house when they move
Sits up by himself!  (He did this for the first time April 24th)

Blows bubbles
Drools as much as he eats
Reaches for mommy and daddy
Snuggles when he's tired
Touches our faces while he's eating milk
Sucks his two middle fingers when sleeping

Enjoys playing in his bouncer

Said the "m" sound twice (I think this was an accident)
Laughs when he first sees mommy and daddy when they come home from work
Looks for objects that were in his view and then moved out of his view
Grabs and turns on the toys hanging from his car seat

Grabs his knees when he's on the changing table
Can manipulate his pacifier and put it in his mouth
Puts everything he can get ahold of in his mouth

Happy 6 months Jackson!  You have brought so much joy to our lives and we love you more and more each day.  We can't wait to see what you will do next!
