Jack's first tooth is through and his second one is almost there. Its been a fussy few days but we are almost there. Can't wait to have his 6 month pictures done while we are in Florida. Now to find something to wear for him....If only they made xtra tuffs and grundens in his size.

This was Jacks first Christmas. He got all kinds of toys. Most of them are for him about the time we get back from Florida. He also has a new jumper for at home and we got him an around we go. Its kind of like a walker but different and is nice since we dont really have lots of room for him to walk. But he seems to really like it and walks very well and he likes to stand to watch his baby einstein video now instead of lay down or sit. And he also would rather stand and be helped to walk somewhere then try and crawl. He even has the one foot in front of the other down. But I dont think we are ready for him to skip crawling to go to walking. Although a 6 month old walking would be pretty funny. Guess its time to buy some gates :-)
Oh and Nathan and I got some cool stuff too, but I suppose we only got pictures of Jacks. lol

Some things about Jack...
We went to his 5 month appointment this week and the dr. said he is 16 lbs and almost 28 in. long, and apparently his body finally caught up with his head...LOL! However he then said Jack is getting longer faster then he is getting fatter and will probably be a very tall boy. He then smiled and laughed at me and said he wouldnt be taking after my side of the family................Hm! He is hyper active like dad, a picky eater like dad, looks JUST like dad, and will be getting his height from dad. Did my genes happen to slip in anywhere in there???
His favorite food is Prunes....ICK
He LOVES to jump. First thing in the morning is a laugh at dad a diaper change and JUMPING. Who cares about breakfast, he just wants to jump.
He is seemingly pretty patient when it gets to be around meal time. But he HAS to have SOMEONE in sight. He is pretty social, and is not "mommy attached" by any means. He has his moments, but he loves people.
He loves his daddy lots. Every time Nathan comes in the room, Jack squeals and laughs and begs for his attention. If Nathan so happens to not look at him, Jack has a nice tantrum.
He loves bathtime and getting undressed, but hates to be dressed afterwards. Any other time is fine, but he doesnt like it then.
He likes buttons to press. He often grabs at the remote or the computer, and of course when he is told NO he looks at you with a pouty lip and cries. (this has been going on for some time now)
He really likes Baby Einstein and seems to be picking up some of whats going on! He is learning sign language and is starting to learn eat, milk, mom, and dad.
He has figured out how to get on his belly put his head down and his butt up and push himself along. I am hoping for no rug burns on the forehead along the way.
He really likes to watch Cornbread and Bugsy(my moms dog)
He hates to have his face wiped off.
Pretty much Jack has been developing a little personality. It's been so fun to watch him grow. And its been really interesting to see him become basically a little person. Pictures to come of Jacks first Christmas soon. Later

So Thanksgiving day Jack flipped all by himself from his belly to his back and today for the firsttime from his back to his belly. Although he has latley just been barley hanging onto my fingers standing and learning to balance himself and learning to hold onto stuff and balance. Hasnt even started crawling yet....although he gets his rear up in the air and his legs and arms going just not his belly. I dont think it will take him too long to figure it out though. Maybe by Christmas if not by the time we return from Florida. He can scoot himself just mostly backwards though. On his back...he is completley mobile.
34 days till we leave for Florida and 35 days till he sees his grammy and pappy :-)
