Jacob is 6 Months Old!

It is hard to believe that Jacob is already 6 months old. Of course he is the size of the average 12 month old.
Weight 19lbs 14 oz 85%
Length 27in
He has slowed down but is still huge and I have started to put him into 12 month clothes. He has also moved out of the infant car seat and has a brand new regular car seat.

He is eating just ok. Most days he is lucky to get more then 1 solid meal in him. Of course, this isn't all my fault...he just won't eat. He has been sleeping much better. He will sleep from about 7:30 pm to 5am and then for 2 more hours after a nursing. I would love it if he would just go all the way through but he is wide awake and ready to eat. Hopefully soon.



Jacob is an extremely smiley baby. And obviously his brothers love him. It feels as though he has always been a part of our family.

First Solids

For the past couple of weeks we have been giving Jacob little bites of solid foods here and there. He loved the yams or squash we dabbed on his tongue. But this afternoon we actually got a bowl of rice prepared for him and feed him in his highchair. He loved it.

Of course, by the time I got around to writing this blog Jacob has decided he hates rice cereal. We have struggled with finding foods he will eat but are slowly introducing new things to him. Right now his favorites include: pears, yogurt, strawberries, sweet potato and of course, pizza crust.

Visit To Santa Cruz

To finish up our trip to California we took the boys to Santa Cruz. This place happens to be one of our favorite places on Earth. (the #1 place being enclosed in an interior room of a cruise ship sound asleep in the middle of the day)

And you can see why...

This beach is called Natural Bridges and it is the most amazing beach. My dad used to come and jump off the bridges when he was a teenager. We enjoyed every part of it.

We hung out with Adams great friend Mark just about all day. Eating at our favorite restaurants and even making a trip up to UCSC to visit my old co-workers. Made me miss them a lot more. The boys had a great time and Adam and I felt like we were in college together again. I think if we had the chance we would move back there in an instant.

While our California trip had its ups and down it was really the best trip we have had out there in...forever. It was really relaxing and comfortable at Janice's and we thank her profusely for all that she gave us. We are very happy to be back in our apartment but can't wait to go back "home".
