My new bumbo

Jacob has been a fussy feeder for quite some time. Most of the time, we end up forcing him to finish his bottle, whether it's waking him up, making loud sounds, walking around the room with him in our arms. So, I emailed the doctor AGAIN about our concerns and he gave us the okay to start him on rice cereal. I was sooooo excited. I went to the store that night and bought Jacob a bumbo, cute colorful bowls, and soft feeding spoons. But when I got home, I got really scared and decided not to feed him rice cereal right away. Jer and I decided that maybe we should just ease him into it by first having him sit in the bumbo. Jacob was soooo cute. He was really startled the first night. He kind of relaxed the second time and was able to crack a few smiles. With that, I think we're ready to start him on rice cereal tomorrow. We'll take tons of pictures and post it for everyone to see!




The picture below was taken during our play time. Jacob likes to stand on his feet a lot...which we try not to do too often.

Do you think he reached his goal for propping himself at 90 degrees for his physical therapist?
The day he scratched his nose TWICE after I just clipped his fingernails. I must have not done a great job!

Very odd, but Jacob falls asleep with his nub nub on his shoulder or on his chest. I tried taking it off one morning and he woke up and cried so now we just leave it there for him.

Right before bath time...

lol. he is so cute in the bumba.. but be careful with it. i heard that a bunch of kids fell over sitting in it. He's probably okay now but once he gets a little older.. he might wiggle around alot.. just don't leave him on top of a table or anything.
