Jacob 7 Month Update

I feel like from 5/20-6/20, everything changed with Jacob.  He started eating solid food, progressed from sitting if he was put down, to scooting, to rocking on all fours, to crawling, to being able to push himself back up to sitting, and even starting to pull himself up on things.  I have become painfully aware of how big he is when I hold him to my chest or in my arms.  It just seems to have happened so quickly!  He is suddenly not an infant anymore, but a baby on his way to toddlerhood.

We had some firsts this month:

1st solid food.  (He really did not like food for the 1st couple of weeks.  It was quite a struggle, but we eased into it!) 

 

 

 1st time in the jogging stroller without the carseat.

1st time to volunteer (at Community Partners of Dallas with the NDECPTA).

 

1st time in a highchair at the restaurant.

1st time at the pool.

 

(Yes, he went to the pool in his pjs.  He had just gotten up from a nap, and I just didn't see the point in putting on clothes then changing again into swimsuit!  And, yes, those are Christmas pjs.  That's what happens when all your pjs are hand-me-downs - you get Christmas in the summer!)

And we had lots of fun times with sister!

But mainly, I'm amazed at how mobile he has become, almost overnight.  And most other people are too.  But when I go back and look at his sister's 7 month update, I'm reminded that we just have early movers in this house.  Lucky me.

This sweet boy is growing up before our eyes. Enjoy the album.  There are a few additional videos to enjoy as well.
