6 months
Half a year, 182.5 days… I can’t believe our little Jax is already 6 months old!
He and I went to the doctor today after teaching this morning. Today’s stats:
Height: 27.3 inches (44.5 cm) ~ 79th percentile
Weight: 17 lb 4 oz (7.8 kilos) ~ 49th percentile
So he’s still taller than he is chubby, although his thighs and cheeks are filling out. Still no teeth, but the experience eating solids with a spoon is getting easier.
Today I’m going to limit myself to sharing the photos I took today on the occasion of Jacob’s 6-month birthday. I have a few more projects to catch up on this week (two of which involve sending things to Europe – hi Abby! hi Corey and Lily!)…oh, and I’m getting a 500 gig hard drive on Friday to organize my photos and music. My DVD drive and burner is having major issues… and it’s not like I’m going to stop taking 347 pictures/day anytime soon. Also on my plate this week are some applications for jobs and funding and a bunch of grading… Can I take another spring break, please?
Voilà! Here are my favorites from this afternoon, before the bed was engulfed in essays and textbooks.

My husband, who is generally of the “we have the world’s only cute baby” persuasion, has admitted that Jax is cute.
Happy half birthday, Jax!
