Four Months of Jackson Nicholas



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:

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement, where most of
