Jake is now five and a half months old. He is drooling like crazy preparing for some teeth that will surely pop through at any moment (as you can see below).
Jakers is also scooting to grasp toys and stregthening his arm and leg muscles for crawling. Jake is not quite sitting up but he has mastered baby crunches and is always trying to reposition himself into a sit. He will actually sit for about thirty seconds without support but as soon as he realizes what he is doing he topples forward. I am sure the many mile stones he is working on will come to fruition soon and we will be chasing a crawling boy! He has developed quite the personality as well...I can already tell from this picture he is going to be a handful!
In addition, he has found his new favorite sleeping arrangement, he scoots himself way up into the corner of his crib, lays on his side and nuzzels the bumper, it is soooo cute, but it does make mom nervous!
Jake is becoming increasingly aware of his surroundings as well, he recently discovered these giant beings covered in fur. Yes he has discovered the dogs and there is nothing more interesting! We often bring him into the kitchen to feed him dinner while we cook our own dinner, since we have a big glass slider, the dogs will come up to the glass to peer in and enjoy some time looking into the house. Jake is so delighted in this visit that he starts sqealing and cooing, peering at the pups. When we let them into inspect, Jake grabs at thier faces, kicks his legs and sqeals even louder! I am sure they will grow to be great friends. Since Mastiffs have a shorter life expectancy than regular sized dogs we are happy that they will be a part of our childrens lives if even for a short time.
Poke Poke as we call him has a Dr visit coming up so we will update you on his growth progression soon!
