I can sit on my own

Has it really almost been 6 months?  Jack is growing up right before our eyes.  He is still the world's best baby.  He is such a happy boy and loves to flash his smiles whenever he gets a chance.

He recently starting doing this.....

sitting all alone like a big kid...

I am really enjoying him & can't get enough of his cuteness.

Now that the weather is warming up, we are loving Spring and being outdoors more.  He loves his swing out back and doesn't mind hanging out in it.

He thinks my peek-a-boo is pretty hilarious too.

He is becoming a drool machine too...teeth may be on the horizon...we'll see.  The other kids didn't get buckers until they were closer to 9 months...who knows, maybe he will surprise us one day with a nice pearly white in his mouth.

Since Jack was one month old he has had a terrible cough.  In a nutshell he has been in the Emergency Room twice and admitted to the hospital once because of this dreadful cough.  After two chest x-rays the Dr. are still trying to figure out what is causing the coughing, mucus, rattle in the chest combo he has going on.  He continues to gain weight (5 months and 16 lbs...pretty good chub), he is happy, eating well (obviously)..so other than the fact that he was diagnosed with Bronchitis...we are trying to get to the bottom of why he has had a cough for nearly 5 months.

He loves to blow raspberries and talk up a storm and make his older siblings laugh their heads off.

 He loves to sit and bend over and nibble on his toes, fall over, do some more toe nibbling and then roll around until he rolls into a wall and gets stuck...then he usually just hangs out there until someone finds him and picks him up.  He is so low key!
