Loving Every Moment!

So my little man is 5 months old! I can't even believe how fast time is going. I honestly can't express how much I love being his Mom. He is so much fun and I am sucking in every moment I have with him. Jaks is full of energy and excitement. He is rolling from his belly to his back and from his back to his belly. He also tries to stand up on his legs and ends up moving himself all over the floor by either rolling or scooting himself on his back. When he is on his belly his legs are constantly in motion and as soon as he gets his arms going this kid will be crawling. Jaks is always full of giggles. He is constantly talking, jabbering and laughing. He thinks everything is funny, especially when we scare him. I haven't quite seen a little one enjoy being scared. He loves it when we hide behind the couch and come out and scare him. He will giggle forever! It's so funny, I can't get enough of his laugh.

He is also into everything that he can get his hands on... I"m afraid once he can crawl, I will be in for it. He is so intrigued by everything and everyone around him. It doesn't matter what I have in my hands, he wants it. I also can't leave him in his Bumbo cause if there is something lying next to him, he will find a way to reach and grab it... quite a few times he has almost fallen out of his Bumbo...which is hard to do! He also has quite the independent spirit. He already holds his bottle by himself, and whenever we feed him, we have to give him his own spoon to hold. This makes it difficult to feed him because I have to dodge his spoon and his hand to get food into his mouth, but its so funny. And it never fails, every time he is done eating it looks as if we had a food fight. Lol, but I love it!!! I Jaks also love to jump on the tramp, I hold him really close to me and I'll jump really high... he will giggle and giggle. He honestly has so much personality and Wes and I love every minute we have with him. Happy 5 Month Birthday Little Man!!!

Here are a few pics from the last little shoot we did of him. Wes and I went up to my parents property in BrianHead and had to get some of him outside. I LOVE the expressions we caught of him... He can move each eyebrow by itself and he always has this mischievous look on his face.... I honestly can't get enough of it!

 

 I’m actually shocked we got as many pictures as we did on this fun shoot, cause this is what Jaks wanted to do the entire time. He was so fascinated by the texture of the long grass and the cat tails, it didn’t matter what I did to get his attention, he wasn’t about to give me the time of day when he was so enthralled by his new surroundings. And it only took me a second before I too was completely consumed by his innocences and excitement as he discovered a whole new world around him.
(ps..in the picture above, he is starting to blow a bubble... if you don't know what it is, it kinda looks funny, but it's one of my favorites. Jaks is always blowing bubble.. :)

I honestly can't express the love I have for this kid! He is so full of light, energy and innocence. I love that every day is a new adventure! My heart is completely consumed with love and I have so much gratitude and feel so blessed for every moment I have to be his Mother!
