Holy Teeth

Have I told you about Jacob's Teeth yet? WELLLL... Jacob has 2 teeth. Both came through in the month of November. They are his two front bottom teeth. Teething hasn't been too bad but he does have his moments of fussiness or waking up in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder. He chews on EVERYTHING. If he sees something, doesnt matter what it is, it goes straight into his mouth. He is not really into teething rings but he likes cold towels to chew on. He hates it when I try to look at his teet by pulling his bottom lip down but I tried really hard to take a pic of his teeth. Hopefully you can kind of see something.

baby day at the synagogue

Our Synagogue had baby day with the babies who will be a Bar/Bat Mitzvah in 2022. It was so much fun and Jacob was able to play with other babies his age. A song leader was there and we sang some songs. Enjoy the pics:

And we're off!

No longer a dull moment in the Karlin household.

Baby pull-ups

Jacob has learned to pull himself up. Good for him. Bad for us. Time to lower the crib!

Giggle Monster Pt. 3

This was filmed after we got home from Chicago. It was around 10 or 11 p.m. — way past Jacob's bedtime. He slept during the entire flight, though, so he wasn't tired. But he was in a giggling mood! He was already laughing his head off for a few minutes before he decided to record it. It's hilarious to us to see what he finds side-splitting hysterical.

He slept like a baby that night.

Best friends

Now that Jacob is developing a playful personality, he's really starting to grow on Dolly. She still runs away when we try to lay him against her, but she's definitely more comfortable going up to him now than when he was younger. She loves giving him kisses, and he loves watching her run around.

It's starting to blossom into a lifelong friendship of trouble-making and mischievousness.

7 MONTHS OLD!

Jacob is 7 months old today! A few milestones he has met in the past month
- getting on all 4's and crawling backwards
- putting himself to sleep
- eating finger foods (usually Mum Mum's)and a little bit of bread
- the consonant M is used a lot
- getting into the sitting position from being on his tummy or all 4's
- pulling himself up from the sitting position holding on to fingers or a low table

He amazes us everyday with something new!
