6 Months Old...where does the time go?

Jack turned 6 months old on Saturday...is it just me or did time just fly by??  It makes me sad to think that life goes by so fast.  You really have to take a breath and just soak it all in because before you know it - it's over.   But at the same time, I'm really excited for things to come.  Jack is growing like a weed! I can't wait until his 6 month appointment (week of Labor Day) to see how tall he has grown.  He seems so long and lean.  I weighed him tonight and he's still my string bean at 15.8 lbs...but he's finally ready to graduate into size 2 diapers.  The tooth that broke through on Wednesday is razor sharp!! And he loves when he bites our fingers and we say OUCH!  He just smiles and continues to gnaw away.
On Saturday Jack and I went over to Lisa and Mark's and picked up some great stuff!  Lisa packed up all of Caroline's baby stuff (toys, an activity mat, an exersaucer, a porta-crib, etc.) and we loaded it up to give to Grandma and Papa in Kirksville.   This way we don't have to lug stuff back and forth when we go to visit - score!  Then Papa, Uncle Ryan and Uncle Andrew showed up that evening because Ryan and Andrew went to the Card's game today.  Jack LOVES his Papa...it's really cute how he lights up around my dad :)  Speaking of LOVES - Jack tried peas today and HOLY COW he couldn't eat them fast enough!

AMAZING!
Terry drove all the way to The Blue Owl in Kimmswick, MO to pick up this cake up for my birthday.  There are no words to describe its goodness - layers of chocolate brownie, strawberry preserves, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate fudge icing and topped with dark & milk chocolate covered strawberries - YUM YUM!

Ready for some more peas - please!

  Lissy came out yesterday and took his 6 month pictures but the sneak peak isn't ready yet.  Pictures to come...
