Jacob just turned 6 months today! It's crazy to think that my kids are growing up so fast! Everyday I try to take it all in and enjoy him while he is somewhat small still. He is so much fun and are so greatful and blessed that he choice ryan and I as his parents! Since he started with collic at birth, it's been on occation rough 6 months, but he is getting alot better, and is alot happier!
The other thing that he was going through for a couple of days was "strike". He wasn't nursing very well cause he is so spoiled with the bottle that is a medium flow nipple. So I called Le Liche' League (it's a club.) And when I call and leave a message, some one anywhere in the U.S. calls me back. I talked to a lady from Minnesota and she gave me alot of points on what I could do. One of the suggestions were to take a bath with Jake, cause skin to skin is the best, so.,.. that is what I did. Well.. that didn't work very well cause Hunter was playing and putting his hand in the water and splashing so it was distracting Jacob alot and he would twist his body. So, I finally got out and the later it got, the more I got frustrated cause he was just not nursing at all and so I would pump and then give the pumped milk to him in a bottle.
Now, he is getting alot better. As long as he is hungry enough or tired, he will nurse. I just hope that I'm not loosing my milk supply. I guess I need to try harder to drink more fluids so that my milk supply will come in better.
Anyway... the new things that he has been doing are:
*reaching for everything!
*smiles and laughs alot*
*as soon as mommy puts me on the floor, I roll from back to stomach and get stuck, and then get mad cause I can't seem to roll back over yet.
* He loves to sit up. No more laying down!
*He loves his brother, Hunter and watches everything that he does and then laughs some more.
*he loves to watch t.v. with the family.
* he an excellent sleeper! Sleeps at 8:30 p.m. and gets up only once at 5 a.m. to eat. and then goes back to sleep till 7:30 a.m.!
*loves baby food. (pears, prunes, sweet potatoes, bananas)
I need to give him more green beans and veggies so that he will like them when he is older. :)
Well... i'm going to take some pictures of him so I will post them soon.
that's all for now.

I can't believe our boys are getting so big. IT's crazy. I can't wait to see pictures of him. They are at such a fun stage right now! See you later.
Hard to believe they are growing so big. Jacob is getting to such a fun stage and I'm so proud of Hunter. Sounds like he is working hard at his speech. We love you guys.
Jacob is 6 months??? How did that happen??? Seems like yesterday you were just pregnant!
How is being on call? Are you doing the Saturday shift? I hope it's going well for you. :)
My babies prefer the fast-flow nipples on bottles. We once tried to switch India to slow . . . she was soooo mad.
Anyway, your boys are cute and growing up! And you are looking so good Sharida!!!
