Jesse: 6 months

Jesse has changed so much in the past month.  

ROLLING: he is rolling both ways, but mostly to the right.  This new trick is fun during the day and yet at night has posed some issues. Jesse is flipping from his belly to back and ends up at the corner of the crib and can't get back to his belly to sleep. This means mommy is having to help him.  He is becoming more aware and so when I flip him he wants to nurse to sleep.  He does still use the paci, it is hit or miss. Sometimes the paci is in and I can hold it in his mouth and his head on the mattress and he conks out, sometimes that thumb makes it's way into his mouth and he sleeps and sometimes he screams like he is in pain and I have to start all over. It's been rough.  His sleep is so different than Owen who was sleeping through the nights most nights and Jesse is back to getting me up 2-3 times. The issue is I can't have Jesse crying out and waking his older brother. 

TEETH: well we saw the buds at 5 months and one has popped through. There has been a lot of nursing and a lot of up all night nights.  I am so tired recently.  Jesse has the bottom left tooth and the right is coming in fast.  

FOOD: what won't this boy eat!  He was eating about 4oz twice a day till that tooth popped through.  It seems that he has backed off a little and is not so frantic for solids now that his TEETH SPURT (a very accurate new phrase I can't take credit for but will be using!) is over for a bit.  Jesse likes: apples, bananas, pears, sweet potatoes, squash, cereal, green beans, peas, carrots.  He doesn't care for my homemade zucchini and avocado. 

SPIRIT: what a happy guy Jesse is!! Smiles if you look and talk to him!  He LOVES to sit in his play seats and watch his brother play on the floor.  He loves to watch Owen from his car seat and recently Owen finds it fun to try and make him laugh!! My heart melts to see them interact and begin to have fun together!  Jesse is a snuggle bug.  He wants to be close, I love how he already hugs my neck when sleepy; nuzzling his face into my neck with his arm grabbing around the other side if my neck!  Oh how daddy makes Jesse laugh!  He knows mommy is for comfort and food and daddy is fun and play!! Daddy flies him up in the air and tickles him and Jesse will cackle so loud and wake up the house!!
