Okay, I'm totally confused with dates now! I can't keep up with them anymore...it's driving me crazy. Thank goodness for my other half! =) Jacob is not 6 mths old yet...not until tomorrow, the 25th! He'll chronologically be 6 months old, but his adjusted age will be 3 months old.
Today, Jacob's developmental teacher came and did a quick assessment on his cognitive, social, and language skills. She said that Jacob is averaging 4 months for cognitive and language skills. As far as social skills, he is hitting the 5 month mark. She said not to worry about anything because he is beyond his adjusted age, which is where they usually like to see the baby at this point in time. We were also told that his fine motor skills will increase greatly within the next 3 months. That means we'll have to work with him extra hard because he's not as strong in that area yet. In April, the speech pathologist and massage therapist will come to do an assessment on Jacob. In early May, his developmental teacher and program coordinator will come out to do an IFSP (Individual Family Support Plan) to gauge how much therapy he'll need for the next 6 months. We'll keep you updated, but for now, come back often to check on Jacob's daily progress. We love posting new pictures of him on the blog and reading your comments!

Pa, go check out the survey on my blog. I posted a picture of Eli when he was around Jacob's age. Isn't it crazy how much they resemble each other?
I can't believe how much he has grown! He is doing so well, thanks to the great parenting he is receiving. We miss you guys.
