Jack is 6 months old

Here we are, another month has gone by without a post. I continue to ask the earth to stop turning for a while so I can get caught up, but my pleas are in vain and the world just keeps turning and I keep trying to catch up. So here is the monthly update. Jack continues to be a happy and content child. Everyone who spends more than 5 minutes with him remarks about his good nature.
This was a much better sleeping month, reverting back to his once a night wake-ups. He has a few accomplishments, including rolling over as a mode of transportation, being strong enough to play in his exersaucer (see picture below) and TWO teeth.
He's funny about his exersaucer. He manipulates each station far better than either of his older brothers, but he doesn't enjoy being in it nearly as much as the older two. He much prefers being on the floor.
He likes watching TV, especially Baby Einstein movies and Thomas (oh yay, another train fan. At least we already have all the toys). He likes to play Wheels on the Bus and likes to be read to, although he likes chewing on the books even more
He thinks his brothers are hilarious and just can't get enough of them.

And he still doesn't like food. He tolerates carrots okay, but everything else gets spit out. Did you notice the specks of food in his hair. He spit them there. Feeding time is such a mess.

At his 6 month check-up he was 27 inches (79%), 16.8 lbs (39%) and 17.5 inch head (70%).

I really love this stage of his life where we get to look forward to more milestones: sitting up, crawling, more teeth, talking and eventually walking. So fun.
