Better late than never...

Here are the pictures we had taken of Jimmer at 6 months. He still looks pretty much the same...just a new hair style :).

Taking more pictures...

I've been trying to take some more pictures this week. Although they're random...here's some new pictures. If you have been around Jimmer lately you know that all he does now is stick out his tongue. Funny, but the spitty is getting pretty old. Did you notice Jimmer's new hairdo?

Nothing to post...

Picture I stole from my sister's blog (William, Jimmer, and Travis in stripey shirts)

We have had a pretty fun January, but I have not taken any pictures lately. My brother John and his family came out to visit from California last weekend and we had a great time hanging out with them. The boys enjoyed shooting in the canyon and we all enjoyed power tumbling and playing games of Catch Phrase and Rage. Well I didn't necessarily enjoy Rage so much...I think James' scoring was a little shady (only 3 points in 5 rounds for me...I don't think so).

We did get Jimmer's picture taken at 6 months, but I don't have a scanner to get them onto the computer. I need to scan those in at my Mom's house and then I'll probably post those.

Yesterday, Jimmer turned 7 months old. He sits up quite well now and is trying to scoot to reach his toys but hasn't quite figured that out. He can only move around in circles and backwards. I'm sure he'll be moving forward before I'm ready for him to. Jimmer is a pretty good boy these days. He really likes oatmeal and carrots and still loves the jumperoo. Still no sign of any teeth. That's all for now I guess.

Jimmer's First Christmas

Ready for Christmas!

We can't wait for Christmas around here and we're excited that Dad has a week off after Christmas!! Yah!!

Jimmer turns 6 months on Christmas Eve and he's doing pretty well. At his doctor's appointment on Monday he weighed 15 lbs 11 oz and was 26 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that his weight is normal for a baby born under 7 lbs. And apparently Jimmer has a big noggin. Hopefully his body catches up with his head soon :).

Jimmer was sleeping through the night for about a week and then started waking up again (once or twice a night). At our appointment, Dr. Freestone asked how he was sleeping and then told me that I needed to let him cry at night because he is just waking up out of habit now :(. Last night we let him cry and the crying lasted on and off for about an hour and a half. Hopefully it won't take too many more nights to get back to sleeping through the night because it just broke my heart. I'm trying to tell Jimmer it was the mean doctor's fault. I don't know if he believes me.

We also have to schedule an ultrasound for the back of Jimmer's neck because he has a fatty lump back there. The doctor thinks it is just fat around some lymph nodes, but wants to make sure it is not a cyst. Don't know how he'll treat it if it is.

Other than that, James and I are just enjoying life with Jimmer and getting excited for the holidays. Not really the snow...but the holidays. I'm already talking about how I can't wait for summer, and we just had the first day of winter...yikes.

Practicing

Jimmer has been practicing his sitting up skills lately. He's getting better by the day. (At first I wrote "spitting up", but Jimmer doesn't need to get better at that. He's already a pro.)

Eating, Rolling, Playing...

Warning...lots of pictures!

Trying rice cereal for the first time

Loving the jumperoo

Playing and rolling

Trying squash

Jimmer is 5 months now and he's growing so fast. He definitely thinks he's big now. Lately he's been eating rice cereal and squash, rolling all around, laughing, playing in his jumperoo, jabbering, and scratching things. His favorite toys are my cell phone, the remote control, and the wipes box.

Oh and for Meagan...at 4 months Jimmer weighed 13 lbs 10 oz and was 23 3/4 inches. His doctor doesn't really tell you the percentiles, but when I looked them up I think he was about 25th percentile for weight and 10th percentile for height. Definitely not a really big guy. But hopefully with this baby food eating he'll beef up :)
