Quick Lunch-time post

Generally I'm the guy behind the camera... but, Alyson took such a great picture of my little man and me, I had to quickly get it up here in the interwebs.

Jake's friend Eric

I'm not sure who is more excited in this picture? Clearly not Olivia, she just wants to know when the screaming will stop.
Jacob really likes his uncle Eric, in other news, he also like bananas (from a baby food jar). I also tried feeding him squished up real bananas, that didn't go as well. We'll try that again in a few weeks.
The only other food we've introduced (that i can think of) is pears. Which, as we've come to learn, have magic powers similar to pears... Powers which were on display this morning as Daddy was trying to get ready for work... P!U!

Giggly Boy

Jacob was having a good time playing on the floor with Bubbe, Zaide, Aunt Selma and Uncle Bernie, Mommy and Daddy.

I'm saving it for later.

As previously reported, and as you can clearly see this kid likes to eat. He's expanded his diet to include the following: oatmeal, sweet potato, carrots, peas, winter squash, apples (and apple sauce, but I'm still waiting for someone to explain the difference), and prunes, for 'medicinal' purposes only. He's also been experimenting with a sippee cup, however right now that's a work in progress. We'll introduce another food this week, what's it going to be? Here's a hint, it rhymes with 'fananas'.

Last week J-Gus, as he's known in his 'crib', had his 6 month visit to the doctor. Here are the stats: 16 lbs 8oz; 26.5 inches 'tall', and a head circumference of 42.7 cm, (why they switch to metric for this one is another mystery). Doc says that he is well proportioned, more good news.
He's doing well with his motor skills as well. The doctor asked if he reached out for his toys, we told her that he does. She asked if he can transfer items from one hand to the other, we said that we hadn't seen him do that... so she handed him a tongue depressor... he reached for it, grabbed it and immediately transferred it to his other hand. He's quite the showman.

Matsuzaka Mania

He's got it. Do you? Jacob is very excited for the upcoming Red Sox season. Twice in the past week we've watched a few innings of spring training baseball, both times Jacob started laughing as soon as he saw the Red Sox on the TV. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, either way he's eagerly awaiting opening day. He also has expressed a distaste for the Yankees.
