Here is Jack at 26 weeks old…
(July 26th, 2012)
Jack turned 6 months old this week! Admittedly, I went crazy with this week’s photo shoot since I’ve missed a couple in a row…
Rolling and rolling and rolling…
And sometimes you just want to nibble on cute baby toes…
Jack has entered such a fun phase. He remains so expressive and curious and involved. Jack loves the new tastes he is trying, especially the apples he added to his palate this week. He continues to enjoy bananas and found sweet potatoes delicious, but has decided he no longer likes rice cereal. When Jack eats his purees he makes the “mmmmm” sound after each bite. It’s adorable and hilarious. He also likes to try to help feed himself by grabbing the spoon as it meets his tongue. I suspect Jack is going to be a very independent boy.
This week, Jack got his first audition. He was awesomely patient during the long wait for his turn and then grinned like a champion during his photo test. He didn’t book the job, but it was good practice for both of us. Here he is checking out the other kids…
Of which there were too many to count. Check out the kid/parent chaos…
Jack is getting stronger. He now pushes up all the way when he rolls to his tummy and he’s getting good at sitting with very little support. He can manage several seconds before tipping over, usually toward the left. He enjoys the new perspective so much!
Since we’ve been staying with my parents, we frequently add swimming to our day, which is great fun. He still doesn’t seem totally thrilled about it, but he doesn’t protest, so we continue to get him comfortable in the water. Here we are together enjoying our first mommy & baby swim…
Here are some nicknames we call Jack at 6 months…
From Daddy: Monkey, Monkey-man, Handsome
From Mommy: Jack-boy, Boo-goo, Rumpkin, Sweet Peanut, Lil’ J
Jack loves the outdoors and is very content to lay on his blanket looking up at the trees and enjoying the warm summer breeze.
My favorite thing about Jack is how easily he’ll flash his big grin…
Happy half-birthday, darling boy…
We love you bunches

I love all the posts! Jack is just such a cutie and I LOVE the pics from the high-heel-a-thon. You have such a lovely family. xoxo.
He seriously just keeps getting cuter and cuter and cuter… he’s turning into such a big boy! I love his expressions and personality that shine through. Good job Ali and Rory! 🙂 I bet grandparents are loving the extra playtime! xxoo to all. E
The expressions on his face in the pool pics are hilarious.
