On Saturday Jackson was officially 4mths old! Where does the time go? At 4mths Jax is the sweetest baby! He loves to lay and kick, shove his hands in his mouth, drool, swing, watch fishes in the bouncer and check out the world around him. He is a very alert little guy and is constantly turning his head to different voices and sounds and wants to face out when being held so that he can see the world.
He smiles pretty easily and when he gives you great big smile you can see both of his dimples. He laughs, though that takes some work, and is starting to babble more and more. He has the biggest brightest eyes I have ever seen….they are just stunning (ok, maybe I am biased).
He rolled over for the first time this past month and is starting to sit up better with help. He loves to stand and have you hold his hands or under his arms and “dance”, he especially loves to dance with Daddy. He is currently quite taken with this stuffed giraffe rattle hanging toy and he will suck it, hold it, shake it, and have a staring contest with it.
He continues to be a sweet baby and we are so blessed to have such a good easy going little guy who pretty much goes with the flow. He has his times where he wants to be held and that can get tiring, but other than that he’s sooo easy to love and enjoy.
He had his four month well baby visit yesterday and we saw our favorite Nurse Practitioner. She said he looked perfect! And is even “advanced” with his head control and standing, so of course I am beaming with pride! He took his shots like a trooper and calmed down pretty quickly. Now for the fun stuff…. he weighed in at a whopping 14lbs 12 oz (50th percentile) and is 25 1/4 inches long (70th percentile). He is growing right on track!!
And while Jax is not sleeping in his nursery yet, we finally finished on Saturday. I even hand painted fishes last week. It came out adorable and is very bright and fun, just like baby Jax!
Wow! I’m so impressed with you Nicole! I love reading your blog. I don’t know how you have the time to post like you do! I feel worn out with my two kids….you are truly an inspiration.
Wow the room looks great I will have to come out and see it in real life. Also happy birthdaymonthdayanniversary– whatever that amounts to for Jax. Love the updates keep them comming.
