Four Months!!

Here we are again another month gone by and it's hard to believe how quickly time is moving and our little boy is growing! This has been a fun month full of smiles that make my heart melt every time and a laugh that is just simply wonderful each and every time. This month Jackson has become wonderfully predictable making our days much easier. He wakes up around 4:30-5:30 for a feeding and then goes back to bed till around 7:00-7:30 and he usually wakes up talking in his crib and can be quite happy doing this for a while. He is finally completely in his crib now which has been wonderful, Adam & I are getting much better sleep now. He takes 3 naps a day ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours and spends the rest of his day playing. Adam gets a chance to feed him every night and then we read him a book, sing a few songs and he is usually sleeping by 8:00. He is enjoying going to Stroller Strides with Mommy and meeting lots of babies and Mom is enjoying meeting lots of Moms. Here is his four months likes and dislikes...

We went to the doctor yesterday for his four month check up and he is weighing in at 14 pounds (32%), 25.5 inches (73%), and a head circumference of 16.25 inches (25%), the doctor said once again that Jackson is long and lean and perfect of course. He was also impressed with Jackson's development we told him that Jackson was putting his feet in his month and rolling over from back to tummy and he said these were 5-6 month milestones, of course Mommy and Daddy are very proud!!The doctor also gave us the go ahead to start feeding Jackson some solids, he said since he has such great head control some rice cereal would be a great way to get some iron in his diet. Tomorrow Jackson's highchair will arrive and we will be breaking out the rice cereal and the camera and videoing the whole thing so check back soon for what I am sure will be a very entertaining video.
