Dinner time

Jacob just decided to eat dinner like a champ tonight. I guess I (marc) feel the same way about ribs or any BBQ meat for that reason.

Pizza with Ben and Kelly Moser

My (Marc's)friend Ben, wait I think it is really Susannah's friend Ellie's little brother Ben....hmm this IS an interesting friendship. Anyway Ben and his wife Kelly were moving down from Alaska and stopped in Seattle to pick up their car. So Susannah, Jacob and I went out for pizza with them. Needless to say Jacob didn't melt down and we all enjoyed the food a good night in all I (Marc) think.

Tasty Toes

Solid food is good, but you know what is better? TOES!!!!!

Jacob flipping over

I (Marc) didn't realize Jacob had groupies already. Here is a video clip for those who want to see it.

6 months already??

Wow, we can't believe Jacob is 6 months old already! The time has gone by so fast and he has changed so much!!
Here are a few pictures from when he was born. He weighed just 5 pounds at birth (4 1/2when we brought him home) and was 18 inches long. He slept all the time and was so sleepy it was hard to keep him awake while he was eating. He cried during his baths and didn't like to have his clothes off or his diaper changed.



How things have changed!! Jacob weighs 14 1/2 pounds (still little, I know) and is 26 1/2 inches long at 6 months. He LOVES to eat, anyway you give it to him! He is rolling over, eating his feet, playing, and laughing. He loves his baths now and has figured out how to splash his feet. He is so much fun and we are loving every minute!






Jacob was loving his 6 month birthday dinner of steamed green beans that I put through the food mill!

FOOD!!!

Marc and I went to a great seminar on Saturday called "First Foods" taught by a nurse and long time local baby expert. It was really great and we left super excited to give Jacob some real food! The woman who taught the seminar really stressed the importance of a family table and letting baby eat the food you are eating, not having separate food. So we decided to start Jacob with some avocado. I have been eating alot of avocados lately and Marc was making guacamole for Superbowl so it seemed fitting. Tonight we are having salmon burgers and homemade sweet potato fries so Jacob will be eating ground up sweet potatoes fries, hope he likes them!

Here are some pictures of eating avocado. He started off licking some off of Marc's fingers as I was cutting some up for our dinner Saturday night. Then the next two nights he ate some out of his own bowl!

My Toes are Yummy

Jacob found a new talent, bringing his toes to his mouth and sucking his toes. We don't know what it is about sucking on your own toes, but Jacob is always happy when he does it.
