Finally, good video of Jake doing the baby rock (trying to crawl) and cute shots of Dippy barking at him to play!

Consonants and crawling
Jake has started babbling in consonant sounds (mostly B's and D's) and is definately on his way to crawling. He can get up on his hands and knees by himself and he rocks back and forth like, "OK, I know I can do this..." but has, so far, only managed to go backwards. This morning he actually got a knee to go forward, but that was the end of it. Still, it's progress and I'm sure he was gratified. Me? I'm terrified. I like him staying where I put him, but I know it can't last forever.
His wheezing is much better (we started using the warm humidifier in his room at night again as well as the pulmi-cort) but it's still there. I am also feeling better and we tend to cycle together so I'm hopeful for his recovery soon (and cold and flu season is ending). Still no teeth and he has been showing "teething signs" forever. Oh well. He has had Spinach and potato this week (loved them) as well as watermelon and canteloupe. For those who know me, you will realize what a sacrafice this was for me and how much I, obviously, love my child. (Shudder - I actually TOUCHED the stuff!) He didn't like the canteloupe, but I was assured it was not "good" canteloupe. As if there were such a thing.
We are trying again for pictures at Penney's this weekend. Won't be here in time for Mother's Day as I was hoping, but shortly thereafter, Jake willing.

New video!!
Mom got us a Flip video camera (minor marketing - this thing is SUPER COOL!) for Mother's and Father's Day. Here's a video (hopefully) of me making Jake giggle...

Ear infection gone!
Jake got a clean bill of health from the doc on Monday - ear infection is all gone. He's still pretty stuffy and coughing so she gave us a new inhaled medication. A steriod instead of the Albuterol. I think se got the idea that unless he was really bad I wasn't going to use the Albuterol because it amps him up so much and just changes his whole sweet little personality.
This picture is from his Grandma Lynn at his great grandfather's birthday picnic on the 13th. Gotta climb over Mommy and see what's up! He's so ready to be mobile it's ridiculous. The question is, am I?

6 month check up
Well we just got back from Jake’s 6 month doctor visit. Here are the stats first of all:
Weight 20 lbs. 13 oz (lower than I thought but still in the 95%)
Height 29 ¼ inches (over the 100%)
Head circumference is 85% (higher than last time by about 10%)
However, we have an ear infection in the left ear (which I think started very recently) so we’re getting amoxicillin for that and we’re getting a breathing machine to give him albuterol because he’s been wheezing for the past few days. Neither of those am I happy about, but there it is. He was a super good boy for his three shots and cried but stopped as soon as Mommy picked him up. Dr. Robin was very impressed with his development (of course!) and we will go back in 10 days so she can check his breathing and ear. Other than that, he’s still a super good boy and just sitting here chewing on his elephant. Dr. R said we should be seeing a tooth soon! Such a big boy!
Oh, and the cutest thing… he was just waking up this morning, laying on his tummy at the head of the crib by the bedroom door. I went into the kitchen to get something and when I walked back in the room I saw two little eyes peering over the crib bumper through the slats at me. He was doing a little push-up so he could see me coming back. It was darling!
