5 Months Old!!!

Today Jacob is 5 months old!!! I can't believe it. Let's sum up his milestones thus far. Jacob smiles, laughs, and squeals with delight (especially at the site of familiar people). He grasps, manipulates, and mouths his toys and is interested in everything new. We call him our little kitty because he's been scratching everything in order to explore textures. In addition, he bangs toys against his leg to see if they rattle. He has discovered his hands and toes and sucks them all the time. Jacob rolls over from back to stomach in both directions and recently has been sitting unsupported. Also, he is working very hard on learning how to crawl. He uses his belly as an axis to rotate 360 degrees. He enjoys his jumperoo and started to jump! His favorite activity is blowing raspberries and he occasionally babbles and says "a-goo". Our little love bug is very sweet and funny. As far as his growth... well he is a big boy coming in at 20 lbs. and 28 inches.
