4 months???

I cannot believe Jacob is already 4 months old! Time just flies with two little ones keeping me busy. Today we had Jacob's 4 month well check up.

weight:  14 pounds 2 ounces (50% )
height:    25 inches (75% )
wearing 6 month clothes, size 2 diapers

We have been given the go-ahead to start cereal and once he masters that to go ahead with fruits and vegetables. He got 3 shots and an oral immunization today. Jacob tried to be tough, but after the first shot he cried. Once I picked him up he stopped. He fell asleep on the car ride home, getting 3 shots is rough! We will wait for Daddy to be home for the first cereal experience. He doesn't want to miss it :)

Jacob is really rolling over well, and is starting to reach and play with toys. It seems his favorite toys are things that light up, have a tag, and crinkle. He can sit up pretty good with assistance :) He is SUCH a good baby, smiling all the time! He loves to bounce and "jump" high. He is also starting to laugh. We have found that Jacob is really ticklish :)

He is really wiggling more, trying to be mobile too soon! He is more vocal, making sweet baby sounds, "talking".  :) Kaitlyn thinks it's fun to "push" him in the baby swing. She is still a very sweet helper :) After 4 months she's not tired of him. That's GREAT! I'm sure that time will come soon... I'll give an update soon on how he did with cereal. It should be good :)

Here's a few pictures of out BIG boy!

mastering tummy time!


 Right before I put Kaitlyn down for a nap (she's napping again! yay!!) I caught this video :)

What a cute video with Kaitlyn teaching Jacob the animal recognition and sounds! He's a captive audience, but seems to enjoy it, hiccups and all! :) Kaitlyn is really doing a great job as a little "teacher"! She seems to be a natural at it! Jacob will learn a lot just watching and listening to her! They are both such a blessing!
