6 month shots

Jacob had his 6 month shots on Friday! I can't believe he is already (almost) 6 months old!! That means I am half way through my mat leave and will soon be going back to work! It has flown by and I wish I could slow the clock down a bit cause it seems to be going by so fast that I won't remember all the little things.

Some new things .... Jacob is sitting pretty good by himself, he will sometimes fall backwards still so I have to watch or put pillows around him but he is doing pretty good! He rolled over for the first time last week (from tummy to back) but hasn't done it since so I think he is still working on that one! We are going to have to start him on cereal soon, even though he seems to be thriving off milk he needs to know that there is more to life then milk! We got him weighed when he had his shots and he was just over 21lbs and he is now 26 and a half inches long!! He has consistently been gaining 2lbs every month and he grew a lot in length this month! Still no teeth but he is drooling like crazy so we go through about 3-4 bibs a day! Not too much else is new - we have been pretty busy lately with my different mom groups (going for coffee and having people over), we signed up for swimming that starts in the new year and I will also probably be signing up for Strollersize in the new year. Christmas is almost here and you would think that I would be pretty excited about it but I'm actually feeling a little sad about the whole event. I feel like we are broke or at least on a tight budget, we probably won't be buying gifts for each other or for anyone else. We have only bought gifts for the kids this year so when everyone gives us gifts and we have nothing in return I feel like a bum. I wish we would just stop giving gifts to the adults in the family and only concentrate on the kids - not only are we getting too old for a commercialized holiday but it's really hard to buy things for someone that has everything or no hobbies. I usually say the same thing every year and every year turns out great but I guess I just wish that Christmas was more about celebrating with family and being thankful for what you have then being with family and celebrating what you want!?

O- and the pic above is a pic of the three of us around the same age, hubby is on the far left, Jacob in the middle and I'm on the right. The more I look at the pic the more I think Jacob looks like me but has hubbies round face? What do you think ?
