Jackson is 4 months

July 15th Jackson turned 4 months old! We took him to our new pedi, Dr. Hayes for his check-up.  Really liked her! I hope that we've found a great pedi for both our babies now. Thanks Ashley for the referral. :)

Here are Jackson's 4 month stats:
Weight: 14.4 pounds (30%)  Totally shocked by this!! He eats so much!
Length: 25 inches (50%)
Head: 75%  

4 things about our 4 month old:
1.  Jackson is cooing & smiling all the time now! His whole face lights up when he smiles! He loves being talked to, getting his toes kissed, & being tickled or getting raspberries on his tummy.
2. He eats a lot...8 ounce bottles. Roughly 40 ounces a day.  I was shocked when his weight & % weren't much higher. Guess he has a high metabolism.
3.  He's doing great sleeping now because of being swaddled.  Swaddling is the KEY to his sleep. He looks like a baby burrito. Our friend, Monica gave us the Miracle Blanket, which is the swaddle of all swaddle blankets. I refer to it as the baby straight jacket. Thank you Miracle blanket!! He sleeps usually 7-8 hours then wakes up to get a diaper change & bottle then back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. Plus, Jackson is now sleeping in his own crib. Whoooo!!  It feels weird to Brett & I not to have a baby in our room in a swing. Now Brett has 2 baby video montiors shining brightly on his bedside table though.
4.  Mr. Man is a serious drooler. And for that reason sometimes when we're hanging out at home he just plays in diaper only.  He enjoys chewing & drooling all over Sophie the Giraffe.

At my new doc's office

"Okay, I'm getting hungry. Can you please feed me?!?"

"Sophie will do!"

Already reading! Going to be a smart fellow!

It's my baby burrito in the Miracle blanket!

Good Nap Happy Man!!

*Please don't judge the fact that it's pink...it was a hand me down from our friend, Gracen. :)

Jackson doesn't mind one bit!!
