Jackson James is a six month old! Half a year! I can’t even believe it has been this long. Just six months ago I had a little newborn and he has grown into this amazing little baby.

He is still loving sitting up. When he wants a toy out of reach he falls onto his tummy to get it. When we put him on the hard wood floor he turns in circles on his tummy. He just started pushing up onto his knees. Pretty soon this boy will be crawling! Oh, boy. We really need to baby proof! We keep putting it off…

Jackson is wearing 6 month clothes and some 9 months sleepers. We switched to size 3 diapers. We couldn’t get an appointment today, so we go next week.

I started putting him in his crib during nap time. He learned to sooth himself! I couldn’t believe it. Sometimes he goes right to sleep and sometimes it takes a while. I go in and to calm him down and then he finally falls asleep. He takes two naps in his room during the day and still sleeps in the co-sleeper next to me at night.

We gave him solids for the first time today! I made him a sweet potato puree. He didn’t really care for it. He was off with his naps today and he wasn’t in a great mood. He didn’t really open his mouth to try it and when he did taste it he gave us a silly look. He was much more interested in the spoon!
