Can you believe Jake is 7 months old already? My baby is growing up so fast!
He got his first tooth 2 weeks ago. I didn't even know it was coming in until I stuck my finger in his mouth to check things out, and it was already there! I think he's working hard on that second front bottom tooth, too!
He's VERY close to crawling. He has gone from rolling everywhere he wants to go to scooting. He looks like a little frog... it's so funny! He get his knees up underneath him, but doesn't quite get his whole upper body off the ground, and pushes forward. He's pretty darn quick at it, too! Mitch has discovered the hard way that he can't leave his things laying in the floor anymore. That, by the way, is an unexpected advantage to Jake crawling. :)
He still isn't really sitting up very well, though. He can, he just doesn't like to. That would require that he be relatively still, and Jake wants no part of that! He also puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. Jack says, "Jake is the reason people put the 'not for children under 3' label on everything!"
He loves his brothers! They start talking to him, and he just grins all over himself and kicks and squirms everywhere! He wants so bad to play with them. He still loves his jumpers...the doorway jumper and the Jumperoo...and his Exersaucer (which he also uses like a jumper).
He is around 19 pounds now, and it is time to get him out of the infant carrier (2 months sooner than we moved Mitch out of it). I think we may go this weekend and get a new car seat. Of course, poor Jake will probably get the one Mitch is in now, and we'll get a new one for Mitch, since Mitch is about to outgrow his, too. I guess that will be the story of Jake's life with 3 older brothers, huh?
He LOVES to be kissed! I can't seem to keep away from those chubby little cheeks...they are just so kissable! I guess he didn't have a choice but to learn to love it! Oh...and he still sticks his tongue out all the time!
He is just the happiest little guy...it is soooo awesome!
Here are some recent pics of him...I love that red hair! :)
