Happy 4 Months Birthday Jack

Today Jack turned 4 months old. I still can't believe how fast this time is flying by. It seems like a couple of weeks ago (NOT MONTHS) we were in the hospital seeing Jack for the first time. Jack has his 4 month appointment on Tuesday, so I will be back with another post to share his stats.

So as you readers know, every month Jack takes a picture with his sock monkey to compare his growth from one month to another. This time it was different... Jack realized that he wasn't taking a picture alone. As soon as I put the sock monkey beside him, he was grabbing it and playing with it. :)

This is what Jack looks like most of the time now. Tongue sticking out!

Precious Jack!

Well hello there!

And here is another picture I took of Jack today while he was playing on the floor.

All about Jack this month:

• Where Jack's hair has fallen out, it's growing back blonde
• Jack is grabbing everything these days.
• He has discovered himself in the mirror. He's not sure what to think when he reaches and hits the mirror.
• Jack is laughing. Daddy is really good at making him laugh.
  
• He LOVES standing up.
• He LOVES practicing sitting up.
• Jack doesn't want his paci much these days.
• He prefers his middle finger and ring finger. (He signs "I love you" to use on regular basis)
• Jack is definitely putting on some weight. (see his chubby cheeks in the pictures above)
  
• We put 6 ounces in his bottle and he eats anywhere from 4-6 each feeding.
  
• Jack is continuing to 'talk' more and more every day. Especially when he wants something... it's funny to hear him 'talk'. If we don't figure out what he wants, he turns into fussy britches Jack.
  
• Jack is my snuggle bug in the mornings. It's pretty much the only time he'll lean on us these days. (He's looking around and reaching for things when we are holding him other times)
• His fingernails grow like crazy!! I have to trim them once a week... sometimes twice.

Stay tuned later this week for his stats from the dr!!

Jack Meets Another Friend!

A friend of ours from camp stayed Friday night with us. She got to meet Jack for the first time. She snapped a few photos of him. She is SUPER talented! You should check out more of her work by clicking here.

I just love my son!!! I miss him so much during the day when I'm at work!!!

But I am so blessed to come home to this precious blessing!!!

Auntie HJ Comes to Visit Again

My sister HJ got to come see us this weekend. It's always so good to see her! And of course it's always sad to see her go. :( Here are a few pictures from her visit with The Attack.

Auntie HJ and Jack
(Jack is always sucking/gumming on something; this time it's his hand)

Sweet boy looking at his Auntie.

Jack also got a chance to go swimming again with his Daddy on Saturday.

Jack is not a fan of sunscreen. (Safety first kiddo!)

It's all better now.
