6 months old!

Well, this is no news, but our Jacko is HUGE!  He hasn't grown in length for a while now, but his head keeps getting bigger and he keeps getting fatter (I mean more solid).

 Here's his 6 month stats:                                         Here's his birthday stats:
Weight- 21lbs                                                               Weight- 9lbs 1 oz
Length- 27 inches                                                       Length- 20.5 inches
Head Circumference- 17 3/4 inches                  Head Circumference- 14 inches


For Jack's 6 month birthday, we decided to give him a quarter of a watermelon.  I have to say, it was adorable.  He didn't know how he felt about it at first, but within a few minutes, Jack was grunting and excited about it!  

Jack is awesome.  His personality is really starting to beam more and more each day.  Things he loves:  food (obviously), talking,  rolling everywhere like a champ, reading books with Mama, going on walks, listening to music, playing with his toys, and being outside (loves loves it!!).  Things he's not so keen on:  sleeping.  Jack has slept through the night a total of 3 times now, one of them being last Sunday night.  The.  Best.  Nights.  Ever.  We're getting him down to once a night feedings at about 5am.  He's getting there, but it seems like it's forever away.  Jack has 4 teeth that are so close to coming in, especially his bottom left.  He's also sitting up by himself for a few minutes at a time.  I seriously can't believe how big he's getting.  It's insane.  Another fun "Jack fact":  I think he is starting to recognize his name- call me crazy, but it's true.  And one more:  Jack will reach for his bottle and hold it himself!  He rarely eats from a bottle, maybe once a week max, so I'm not sure where he learned it, but it's cute!  We love Jack Jack!!

He's not so little anymore...

As you can see, Jack is now HUGE.  He is so fun and I am so glad to be his Mama.  This last weekend was Central East CrossFit Games Regionals (more info here).  Needless to say, it was a very busy weekend, but a lot of fun.  Our region was broadcasted on ESPN3 because we have some big dogs here, so it was even more fun because everyone was so hyped up.  I tell ya, if you want to see the best of the best athletes in the world, watch The CrossFit Games this July 13-15th (it'll be broadcasted on ESPN).  I judged Friday and all day Saturday and it was awesome to learn from these athletes.  I brought Jack with me on Friday and he loved it!  I can't wait 'till he "works out" with me.  Seriously.  So.  Fun.
