Jake - 4 Months

Jake turned 4 months old on Friday, April 24. He had his 4 month checkup the day before. He weighs 17 lbs. and is 25 inches long. His doctor was very concerned because Jake was so underweight. He accused me of not feeding him. HA! As you can tell by the pictures, Jake has never missed a meal. The doctor did assure me though that Jake's weight was nothing to worry about. I was a chunk too the first few months of life, but then my weight evened off. I'm hoping the same goes for Jake. If not, the poor thing is going to be wearing 24-month size clothes by the time he is 6 months old! (He is already up to size 9-month clothing.) Things he loves - eating, taking baths, being tickled under the arm & sleeping. Things he does not love - when you wake him before he gets in all of his stretching & making him go longer than 3 hours during the day without food (Thankfully that is only during the day! He is still sleeping through the night.) Here are some pictures to catch up...

Eating rice cereal for the first time

Trying to feed himself

Playing in his jumper

Hanging out before school

He doesn't sleep with his positioner anymore

No longer using the sling in his bath tub (He doesn't have a pimple on his nose, he scratched it!)

Trying to be like daddy

Sorry that the picture in this video is so dark. In the video you can hear Jake "talking".
