6 months old!

Stone is growing way too fast! On the 12th, he turned 6 months old, and here are some things he has been up to:

*At about 4 1/2 months, he can began scooting


*At 5 months, he began sitting up, although a little wobbly. It didn't take him long to become steady.


*Not only does he sit up steady now, but the last two weeks he's been completely propping himself up from any position. It's like it's no big deal now.



  • *He now laughs all the time. It doesn't take much to make him laugh.

  • *In the last two days, he's pulled himslef up to a standing position (see the picture above). After his bath last night, I put him in his crib while I went to the laundry room to grab some pajamas, and I came back to find him standing up in his crib smiling like he was very proud of himself. Take a look at the video below. We have now put his matress down to the lowest setting in the crib.

*We've been experimenting with different foods, and he LOVES it all. We got a net binkey that we put fruit (like orange slices) in for him to suck on, and ohhhh boy....he sucks every last drop out of it. Last week, Cliff gave him a taste of salsa (mild!) and he loved it. He has to...he's a Jessup.



I just can't believe how fast the little guy is growing. He is quite the entertainment. We love him so much!




This is Stone standing in his crib for the first time (to our knowledge) last night.


Stone FIGHTS going to sleep. This is after a hard fight with him one afternoon.



Cliff's parents gave Stone a bouncy chair for Christmas. He LOVES it.

I love it how they roll up on the tops of their feet in order to stand up! He started to pull himself up way before Bentley did - I think B started around 8 months.
And that position you found him in after he was crying...so cute. I've found B in a position like that many times, especially lately. I love his little bum in the air!

Ha ha ha-Stone is tooooooooo cute!!! He's also quite the fast learner. I must say, however, mild salsa--come on, if he's a true Jessup, he'd be drinking the really hot stuff right from the bottle! :)

Holy smokes! Stone is ready to get moving!! I think both Ben and Adam took until 8 months to crawl --- I guess he has places to go, people to see. You gotta love lowering the crib...
