4 months

Jack hit the four month mark on Saturday. He is growing like crazy and is changing every day.
Today's doctor's visit went well, and I am glad the shots are over for another two months. Here are the stats:
weight:  17 1/4 lbs
height:  27 inches

Leah Robbins came over last week and took Jack's four month pictures.  She does such a wonderful job of capturing his smiles and we love her style of photography.  Thank you Nana Samad for such a priceless gift.  You can check out a few more of the shots on Leah's blog.  Family, if you would like a copy of some of the pictures, please let us know.

We introduced the exersaucer last week.  This picture shows exactly what he thinks about his new toy.  Maybe we'll try it again later!

Last month I started putting Jack to bed with this fleece blanket.  I was hoping that he would soon associate the blanket with bedtime.  I thought this would help him to sleep well if he was going to bed at someone else's house.  Well, the experiment worked.  He loves the blanket and likes the way it feels on his face.  As soon as we put it over him he pulls it up to his face and rubs it against his cheeks.

Check out the before and after shots.

In keeping with tradition, we snapped a shot of Jack in a onesie in the big red chair. This month's onesie: College Hill Coffee Company. Our neighborhood coffee shop is a quick walk from our house and Jack and I have taken a few strolls up there for an afternoon cup of coffee. Jacob and I have enjoyed their live music on the weekends and we like to support this great local business. It is worth the trip to College Hill to check it out.  After you've had some good coffee you should stroll down to Marty's Hops and Vines for a glass of wine or a beer.  It is another wonderful College Hill business that makes our neighborhood unique.
