Ever growing...

Jackson's new favorite thing to do.... sit! Yes that's right our little man is sitting all on his own! It's darling (especially when he falls so far forward after sitting for a while that he is on his belly and he looks around with a "hey how did I get here?" look on his face. Now that he know's how to sit he loves to sit up, no longer content to recline in his swing or highchair. In the swing he has found that if he leans forward enough he can make it stop swinging... I think it may be time to pack that away. Today for our walk all he wanted to do was lean forward in the stroller and chew on the tray (I think he fell asleep like that for part of the walk).

Our walk today....

It's amazing how one day he kept falling over and now he's pretty steady when sitting, almost like it happend overnight. I love watching him grow each day! Next up, rolling over.... he is sooooo close (I know life will forever change once he figures that out so I am content with it taking a while :-) ).

Here are some more sitting pics:

4 months!

Where does the time go. I blinked and now my baby is 4 months old! We had is 4 month check-up yesterday. He's a whopping 13lb 11oz and 24.5 inches long! He also had to get another 4 shots this time but with a little tylenol and lots of loving and cuddles after he did pretty well. The biggest difference with 4 months is that he seems to be sleeping a little longer through the night, about 4-5 hrs at the begining and then waking every 3hrs after that. Not too bad. Though he does like to wake up between 7-7:30 every morning, I don't mind unless it's after I worked till 1am!

Jackson at 4 months

He LOVES to suck his hands!

We gave Jackson his 1st taste of rice cereal and he actually seemed to like it. He seems to be taking alot of bottles when I am at work (6-7 bottles in 14 hrs!) the NP thinks it's a comfort thing because he misses mommy (I love that I am needed!) but it is decreasing our supply faster than I can refill it when I am at work so we will be doing one or two rice cereal feedings when I am at work to conserve what milk we have so we don't run out.

I also took Jackson out for his 1st big snow... it was too bright and the flakes kept falling on his face and he didn't like that, but he looked so darn cute! :-)
