Jake 4 Months

On Sunday Jake was four months old. He went to the doctor today for his check-up and he is weighing in at 16lbs. 2oz. And he is 24 1/2 inches. The Dr. thinks they measured him wrong though because he went from being the 75th percentile for height to the 25th. Just doesn't seem right. He is also in the 75th percentile for weight.

Some if the things Jake is up to now... Rolling over from back to tummy. He loves rolling over but doesn't like it when he is on his tummy for too long. So we are always having to roll him right back over. Hopefully he will learn to do it himself soon.

Reaching for toys and holding on to them for a few moments.

Sleeping about 8 hours at a time at night. So waking up about once a night. I am very happy about that. He isn't the greatest napper but I think it may be because he eats every two hours. At least he is getting use to falling asleep by himself! He is sharing a room with his brother now and all is going well. Except for the fact that James can climb into the crib and thinks that it is the greatest and funniest thing. When James woke up this morning he went straight into Jake's crib. Luckily Jake was already awake! Jake is the most smiley baby I know. He is so happy and smiles at anyone and everyone that looks at him. I can't wait to see more of his personality as he gets older.

I think he will be very sociable as he loves to babble and make razzing sounds.

He always wants to be held and in the center of what is going on. If he isn't he is usually crying. We call him the drama king! He loves watching his brother and giggles at him all the time. I can't wait until they can play together!

He loves chewing on blankets or burp rags. I think we will have another blankie baby! Awe...I love it! :)

He is such a cutie. You will LOVE watching your 2 boys play together. Cody is getting older and is able to play more with his brother now; it's so much fun to watch. My little one is a blankie baby too. He has 1 special blanket and he chews on it too. I can't believe he's already 4 months old. And YAY for sleeping; feel better? :)
