So big!

It is hard to believe that Jared is 5 months old already. I thought I would post a couple of his latest accomplishments since I haven't posted on him in awhile.

He has learned to sit up!! He loves to sit up, but he doesn't like the tipping over part.

Of course, who would, really? These are some pictures that Caleb took of Jared yesterday. Caleb put lots of blankets around him so Jared wouldn't get hurt if/when he fell over! Wasn't that sweet?

Jared has also learned to hold his own bottle. That was kind of a necessity in this family. I mean, if you want to eat, you need to learn to feed yourself, right? Otherwise you must wait your turn and sometimes that isn't Jared's idea of fun! :)

Well, that's our baby Jared for now. He will be learning lots more in the coming months and before long I will be chasing him through the house. Right now he is trying to help me type. If only this could actually be a teaching experience. I am just visualizing Helen Keller when she was walking around with her teacher and was touching everything and holding the teacher's hand while she signed. Ok, maybe I'm being a little hopeful, but wouldn't that be cool?
"Ok, now Jared, put your hands on my hands and type.....this is 'A'".
Oh well, that's my vision for this morning!

"Are you for real, Mom?????"

Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
