Growing Boy

Well, I've come to the realization that I am a terrible, terrible blogger. Jared Jr. is 5 1/2 months old now and we've just been keeping him to ourselves and not sharing his accomplishments. He's getting so big and strong! He started rolling over onto his back while we were on our trip to Missouri and Tennessee and now he's been rolling over onto his tummy as well. He's been doing that for probably about a month or so now. He's getting way too mobile. He's figured out that he can get from point A to point B by rolling over a few times. We take our eyes off of him for a second and when we look back, he's gone. He is also eating solids now. Had his first bit of cereal October 31st. All the other kids were getting candy for Halloween, and he was getting rice cereal. Poor, poor baby. We also got his brand new high chair! Yay! No more lap feedings. (Thanks to a great-grandma.) He looks like such a big boy eating in it. I can't believe we're going on 6 months of him in our life. My, my, how the time does fly.

I just want to let all of our family know that we are so very grateful to you all for all that you've done for us and given us for our little boy. We couldn't possibly have been prepared enough without your help. We sure love you all and we miss you all. We so look forward to school ending and moving back home.
