Happy 6 month birthday Jack!

Jack is 6 months old today! I baked a cookie cake (for the first time) to celebrate. Jack will just be having the milk though - no cookie for him.

He's certainly come a long way since he was born - he's over 5 times his birth weight, and 9 inches longer. He can sit with some support and mostly holds his head up. He detests tummy time now, and hasn't rolled over again since the first (unintentional) time a few weeks ago.

He laughs and smiles a lot. He has expanded his vowel sounds to include "b" and "g" sounds, as well as the occasional high-pitched shriek (usually unexpected and right near your ear). He grabs onto the ring toy on his playmat, as well as any kind of cloth (shirts, blankets, burp cloths). He is eating about 6 ounces 5 times a day, and he usually sleeps 9-10 hours at night as long as he is swaddled.

We're loving being his parents, and are looking forward to all the next milestones!
