Jack's 4 month stats

Guy took Jack to the doctor for his 4 month check up and the doctor says he is doing great. Of course because Guy took him I had to call the pediatrician to get the exact stats; when I asked Guy he said "I don't know, about 14 lbs". When I asked how long was he? He said "24 or 26 inches". I suppose he was close =)

Weight: 14.6 lbs
Height: 24.5"
Head: 17"

Jack is such a fun baby! No matter what time he wakes up he gives you a smile and is starting to laugh all the time. His hair as you can see below is still pretty out of control. It gets lighter and lighter every day; I wonder if he will be blond like his sister? We're still not sure what color his eyes are going to be. Some days they are blue, other days they look brown. He is moving all the time and has started to enjoy hanging out in the walker, pushing himself backwards and in a circle. We had to stop giving Ella and Jack baths together because she didn't enjoy the constant kicking. (I have a video I will post soon) Drool, drool, drool, all the time! You would swear he was teething but no teeth yet. He has rolled over but of course both times he did it no one was looking. With how active he is I have no doubt he will be mobile in no time. However I am hoping he will hold off for a while!

Happy Valentines Day!

The following video was the first taken with my Valentines Day present, a totally awesome little hand held camera I can keep in my purse! Although Ella no longer gets a pacifier during the day (only at bed time), if she has the chance to steal Jack's she is all over it. I love that she is automatically conditioned to say "Cheeeese" every time she sees a camera! I hope your Valentine's Day was awesome!

Jack at 4 months

Jack is so much fun! (although I have to say, the last few days have been rough) He is constantly moving and while laying on the play mat or taking a bath looks like he is running in place. He holds up well to all of the abuse, I mean love that his sister gives him. She calls him Jackie which always makes me smile. He is now reaching for and grabbing toys, which are of course going directly into his mouth. I would swear he was teething with all of the drool (and the recent fussiness) but I don't see any teeth yet. I am always hesitant to claim teething when he is fussy because I blamed all of Ella's fussiness on teething, and she didn't get a her first tooth until she was 8 months old. It's kind of a joke between Guy and I; every time something is wrong we say he must be teething. Overall Jack is a pretty cool kid with some crazy hair! =)

Talkin' with Ella

While driving home from day care today Ella and I were talking about her day. She told me that she made a craft with hearts and that she got a special treat (valentines day cup cake). Then things were quiet for a minute until Ella announced...

Ella - Mom!
Me - What Ella?
Ella - I have a booger!
Me - Really?!?

Gotta love her!

Beautiful Day

Here is a picture of Miss Ella enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having. It's hard to believe she is going to be two next month! I know I say it all the time but where has the time gone?!?
