5 months old!

Jacob is 5 months old today. Gosh, I can't believe he's already 5 months...it's gone by so fast! Wednesday he had a weight check up with the doctor. He weighed in at 13 lbs. 14 ounces. The doctor said he's fine...he's just growing weight wise on the 25th percentile...which I guess is fine as long as he stays on that track and doesn't drop again. After the doctor's appointment we went to Babies R Us to buy Jacob a new toy. we put him in all the different "excersaucers" and he definitely prefered one over all of them...of course it had to be one of the pricier ones...but that's okay, anything for our little boy! When we got home, I spent about an hour trying to put the whole thing together...but I was proud of myself putting it all together myself...Bill did help with one small part.
when Jacob sat in it for the first time, the moment was priceless...he was a little overwhelmed at first with so many things to see and touch. Soon he was grabbing at everything. At first he was obsessed with the mirror, then his attention turned to the phone. He then turned to this spinny thing and once he figured out how to make it spin, he went crazy...he was jumping up and down in excitement over his new found toy. Of course daddy caught it all on video and we enjoyed watching him on video later that night. It was amazing to see him learn how to make things happen on this thing. He was really examining the different toys and figuring out what they did. so precious!
On Thursday, Jacob and I went to the botanical gardens in Claremont. we went to meet up with other babies and mommies. Unfortunately only one other mommy and son showed up, but we had a good time meeting them and walking around the gardens...my allergies were not happy with me later that day though...oh well!
Friday, Jacob and daddy spent some quality time together while I went to get my hair cut. It was nice to get away for a couple of hours and I'm sure the boys had a good time at home. I'm not too sure what exactly went on, but everyone was fine when I got home, so I'm sure it was harmless whatever they did together. I fear that may not be the case in upcoming years though:)
This Sunday Jacob is being dedicated. The family will be there to pray with us and then they will come over to our house for some lunch. So tomorrow will be a busy day for us getting the house picked up and putting all of Jacob's stuff away! For being so little he sure does have a lot of stuff that goes along with him:0 So until next time...mommy and daddy love you our 5 month old Jacob:)
