Merry Christmas to YOU!

We went to Como Zoo to see how it was decorated for Christmas. Jack enjoyed his time there! He stayed awake the whole time! :)

I'll give you a big wet kiss!

The day has finally arrived and Jack is very excited. Well, actually I am very excited! Unfortunately he has no idea whats going on, but next year he will!! Jack had is 4 month check up this week and he has grown A LOT!! Here are his stats:

Weight: 16lbs even (71st percentile)

Height: 26 1/2 inches (92 percentile)

Head: 17 in (74 percentile)

SO basically he is a big boy!! It also explains why my back hurts when I hold him for a long period of time. Jack is getting to be very vocal too. He has found his voice!! He has recently started to yell for the fun of it and even started to scream. Again, just for the fun of it. I guess that's better than having a temper tantrum and screaming! Jack has also rolled over, but just a couple of times. The Dr. said that we can try rice cereal soon if he seems ready. We have been having him sit at the dinner table with us while we eat so he can see how it's done. However, right now, he just thinks it's funny.

We hope you have a great Christmas and I will post pics of him as soon as possible!!

For Christmas Jack wants.....

More things that go into his mouth! These days anything that comes close to that little mouth goes in. When he is getting dressed, it's his shirt (and he got a hold of his pants too before they were on and they also went in his mouth). My rob also goes in his mouth. He just grabs it and pulls it in. And yesterday while I was changing his diaper, he grabed the clean one out of my hand and it also went in! I swear I feed him! He has also gone through a growth spurt lately. He outgrew quite a few outfits. He is mainly in 6 mos clothes now (even though he is just shy of 4mos). I always thought that he was just average in his size because he fit into 3 mos outfits at 3 mos, but no he grew! He goes in for his 4 mos check up next week so I am excited to see how much he weighs. He also has to get shots :(

Christmas is coming!

I am ready for Santa!


Well it really seems like Christmas is right around the corner. Our house is already decorated and Jack has been sporting his many seasonal outfits so far. This also means that 2010 is coming to an end. This year has had many ups and downs. It will truly be a year to remember! I hope that 2011 will be a good year. I plan on continuing to focus my energy on being a mommy and hopefully I will be able to stay home full time come this summer. Chad and Scotty have been working very hard for the last 6 months on their business which is doing very well. So I hope that things continue on for them so that I can stay home with Jack completely!

On to Jack news now! I have recently increased his bottle size to about 6 oz per feeding. So currently he is taking in about 34 oz a day! Which in turn has helped him to sleep for longer periods at night!! I hope I am not jinxing it right now, but the last couple of nights have been wonderful! He has done an 8 hours stretch and then a 9 hour stretch. After that stretch he still went to sleep. Each nights grand total was 12 HOURS!! Woo hoo! Jack must really be telling me that he wants a sibling because if he didn't sleep well, I would not be so sure about another one!

Jack is now able to hold his head up on his own. He still needs support for his body because he'll tip over (which is kinda funny). He is more aware of his toys and people around him. He also likes to stare at his hands. He is very entertaining.

Recently we took our Christmas card photo. We had about 12 or so done in all. Scotty was gracious enough to take our picture. Here were some of our choices.....

Between Chad closing his eyes, Ally squirming, blurriness and Jack wanting his nuk, I did find one that worked! You will have to wait until it comes in your mail to see it!
