Wow! Our sweet, baby boy is now 4 months old...1/3 of a year! It is amazing how fast the time goes! I talked to a lady today with a newborn... and I was amazed that Jack was once that size!!
Jack had his 4 month check-up today. He is now 26 inches long and 14 lbs. 15 oz. This puts him in the 85th percentile for length and the 30th percentile for weight...thus solving the mystery as to why I cannot find pants that fit his waist, but are long enough to cover his legs! I would have never thought that I would have be able to have a tall and skinny kid...a big thanks to Travis' genes!!
Due to Jack's growth spurt, he is officially less than 1 inch away from growing out of his car seat!! His feet have actually been sticking out of the car seat for a week now! So, tonight we took a trip to Babies R' Us and bought him a new convertible car seat...it's pretty snazzy...forward and rear facing, reclining, 5 point restraint, and quick release straps...I'd have never thought that things could get this fancy!! I'll have to take a picture of him in it when we get installed tomorrow evening!
Now that Jack is the ripe, old age of 4 months, he gets to eat real food...cereal that is...Texas tea...oh wait...that's not right. Now, if you don't know what show that is, I am going to feel officially old. Side story: Today I realized that I am no longer a "spring chicken" when I was trying to explain to the 20 year old receptionist at the doctor's office that Jack's real name is John, but Jack is a nickname for John. To try and elaborate my point that ours is not the only John called Jack, I used the example of JFK, who was also a John named Jack. The response that I got was "Who?". Come on...I wasn't even alive when JFK was, but I know who he is!!!
Anyway... Jack really likes eating! I am beginning to think that eating in just a diaper and heading straight to the bathtub is going to be our best option!! I'm still cleaning it out of his nose!

What a cute little boy! I'm happy that I get to come home each day to him and his beautiful mom.
What a cute boy! We wish we could be there to hold that really long boy! He's as long as Claire, mind you she's a shrimp in the 10% range. But seriously, Jack is adorable! We are glad things are going well. We also just invested in a new car seat! Holy cow are they pricey! All for a seat! And Misty, even though we're not spring chickens any longer, I tend to think that things get better with age and that we are smarter than those younger than us as well.
