7 months

I can hardly believe it: the tiny little 7 pound baby who once fit into the crook of one arm is now over 7 months old and a whopping 20 pounds. For those of you who are concerned that he might be growing a little too much, fear not: at the 77 percentile for growth, 23% of children his age are larger than he and he has not yet sailed off the growth chart. Besides, breast-fed babies build up healthy fat stores to be used if (heaven-forbid) they get sick and just don't feel like eating. As he starts to become more mobile, the baby fat will slip away. For those of you who have been hounding me for more pictures (and you know who you are-MOM), enjoy!

Daddy and Jacob at Sonic - 10/31/08

Jacob is "driving" the car at Sonic - 10/31/08

The mesh feeder has been a favorite of Jacob since he has started teething - it holds ice cubes without freezing Jacob little hands. - 11/6/08

Most of the pictures on our blog are of Jacob, but I couldn't resist putting up one of Matt rocking out with Rock Band. - 11/9/08

Jacob had his second set of vaccinations and wasn't feeling very well. I spent a good portion of the evening awake watching him sleep next to Daddy. I keep thinking that when Jacob is grown I will miss watching him sleep quietly and peacefully. - 11/10/08
