Our baby Jack is four months old today! Isn't it funny how one day you have a baby, and the next, you just can't remember what life was like without them? Here are some updates about our boy.
Jackson likes:
- Watching his brother - if Sammy is in the room, Jack is looking for him!
- Rolling around on his playmat. He can roll from back to belly, and belly to back.
- LOVES his milky. He takes his feeding times very seriously.
Jackson dislikes:
- Car rides of any length. It's a struggle at this point. 😅
Eating:
Very few things get in the way of Jack's eating times. Dustin has been off with Jack for about 2 weeks and he fussed about taking a bottle a bit. Dustin's method for him to take the bottle was to stand in front of a picture of me while he drank it. However silly it is - it worked. Haha! Jack is still a really great nurser.
Sleeping:
We've got a boy who sleeps through the night! He is usually down for the night around 7:30 and sleeps until around 4:30. He'll nurse at that point, then go back to sleep until 6:30.
His wake windows during the day are about 1.5 hours at this point, and he naps in his crib. Jack sleeps in the bassinet in our room overnight. I probably need to move him into his room overnight to sleep (he's quickly outgrowing the bassinet), but I'm not quite ready to do that just yet. 😉 Sometimes his last nap of the day will be while I'm wearing him and cooking dinner. He loves to be snuggled up in the baby wrap.
Activities:
Jack is rolling from his belly to his back a ton, and sometimes rolls from his back to his belly. While he is wiggling around on his mat, he uses his feet to try and scooch around. His pediatrician said that second born children, especially boys, tend to meet their physical milestones early, which checks out with Jack! He babbles and squeals and tells us big stories all day long. He has the biggest blue eyes and lots of blonde hair is coming in.
Jack really loves to be held upright so he can check out what's going on around him. He continues to love bath time and being outside. Jack will start at childcare on Monday. Sammy is super excited to have him there with him. This marks the last of our "transitions" we've had as a family since Jack was born 4 months ago. He's such a lucky baby to have had such a long time at home with his family.
We have his four month appointment this week, and I can't wait to see how much he's grown! He's getting some pretty big rolls on his arms and thighs. I love it!
Here are some of my favorite photos from the last month:
