holy cow, i can't believe my baby is almost 6 months old. where in the heck did that half of the year go? any other moms feel like pregnancy drags on and on then your little babies just grow too stinking fast?! As much as i miss J being a sweet newborn all swaddled and tiny, i'm loving seeing his little personality develop. We live in Rexburg, in a married student ward, so it's no surprise that there is a new baby born almost every month in our ward. While nursing J in the mothers' lounge on sundays those sweet new moms bring in their brand new babies and their little cries are so sweet, needless to say, J's cry is not-so-cute anymore, he's figured out the more noise he makes the faster mom moves, so he generally skips the sweet little coos and goes to full on screams. *sigh, but that's ok, most of the time he's a pretty happy go lucky kid. This chubby kid eats more than i do sometimes, i swear. He LOVES big people food. of course we don't share our food with him, but if he doesn't get to see us eat he'll cry. He loves rice crackers and bread, apple juice. He's started babbling really loudly at nights, and when he's sleepy, it's cute, but it gradually gets louder and louder until it's practically a yell, and it's usually at a time we need him to be quiet, like during scripture study or FHE. I like to think it's just because he's excited about the scriptures. :] J thinks the darndest things are funny, the kid laughs when you scare him. I know, crazy, he loves dad to "get" his belly and play "high in the air" (i know our names for games need a little help) i've never been one confident enough to act a fool to make a baby laugh, but i do for J, and i'd say it's worth it to hear the kid giggle, it's so darn cute it melts my little heart.
Jamison has grown SO MUCH since my last post, i feel bad I've let the time get away without updating my blog with all the new sweet things he is doing. At first i was so sad he was growing so big and wasn't staying a newborn but everyday he does something that makes me so excited to see him growing a learning, and he is much more fun now that he can play. It's fun to see his little personality, such a happy sweet baby. We started giving him cereal about a month and a half ago, at first he thought it was horrible, but now he loves it, we started giving him sweet potatoes, squash, bananas and apples and he LOVES them, if you don't feed him fast enough he lets ya know, and not usually in a nice way. and he's the happiest kid in the world if given a dill pickle to chew on. He's discovered he can spit now, so he's always drenched (if anyone has any suggestions of how to keep him dry, feel free to share :]) He loves scary things, being tossed in the air, being scared, and Jake tickling his belly with his nose. We decided J needed a haircut before we took any christmas pictures, he looks like a young man now instead of a baby, but that's ok. He rocks a sweet mohawk again :]
