Jace- 6 months

Our little bug is 6 months old! I've said it before and I will say it again- so crazy that time goes so quickly. He is such a wonderful part of our family and we are so blessed that he is ours. {Jace}
{For comparison's sake, Hallie at 6 months. What do think? Definitely siblings, I'd say...}


Jace's stats:

Weight: 19 pounds 1 ounce (75%)

Height: 29 inches (off the charts)

{Again, to compare: Hallie was 18 pounds 4 ounces and 26.5 inches at 6 months}

Jace is sitting up pretty well...just as long as you balance him. He needs to use his hands to steady himself a lot,but he will get better. He rarely rolls, though he does know how. Hopefully he will pick that up more soon.
Jace is a happy, smiley boy, but is more reserved with his smiles than Hallie was. He is a mama's boy for sure and we are already working on saying "mama" since I know his tendency will be to say "dada" first, just like every other baby. I know he won't let me down, though... (just kidding about all that- other than that I do say "mama" to him all day long. Haha!)
Jace loves to eat (as if you couldn't tell!) He enjoys foods of all types. The only food I have discovered that he does not like is bananas (the real deal, though he will eat the baby food jar kind. Weird.)
Jace is very interested in what we eat. The other day I was sitting at the table while he was in the bumbo and I was eating a mini cookie. I was talking to Devin and not paying attention and before I knew it, Jace had grabbed my hand and yanked it into his mouth. He sorely needed that cookie apparently, and took matters into his own hands. First cookie ever and it didn't disappoint!
Check out the rolllllllls. That's how we do it around here.
Jace is blessed to have boy cousins on both sides. He gets to see Hudson a lot and sure loves him. Hudson used to hold Jace on his lap (he is 10 weeks older or so) and now that Jace has far exceeded him in size, he can hold Hudson. What a funny pair. So fun that these boys will be able to grow up together.

A few other things about Jace:

*He is still a great sleeper. He naps three times a day usually for anywhere from a half hour to 2 and a half hours. He sleeps 13 or so hours per night.

* He loves to pat people's faces, hold your hands/fingers, and put his hands around your neck to hug you, though he is not much of a cuddler

*Wears 6-12 month clothing as well as 9 month clothing. Too tall for 6 month clothes.

*No more than his two teeth that he got when he was 3 months old. Where are the rest???

*Favorite toy is still the bouncy chair. He can get that thing bouncing! He can also rock himself in his carseat, which he likes to do. He just gets his legs kicking and gets it going back and forth.

We sure love our Jacer boy! We are truly blessed.
