Four months old!


Our little angel has been with us for four months now! We love this boy so much. We love his sweet, pure spirit, and his precious innocence. It's not always easy, but we can't imagine life without Jamie!



Weight: 14.06 pounds (almost doubled birth weight)

Height: 24 1/2 inches (has gained 5 in)



Sleeps: 6-8 hours at night, wakes up for feeding and change, sleeps another 2-4 hours

Naptime: two hours after wakening in morning, and then whenever he feels like it.

Duration of nap: anywhere from 5 minutes to four hours, the stinker. :)

Bedtime: was about 8:30 for awhile, but now whenever he feels like it.



Eats: 5 oz every three hours except at night. No solid foods yet. Waiting until 6 months.



Likes: grabbing anything within reach of his hands, especially Mommy's hair and Daddy's chest hairs; putting things he grabs in his mouth; being sung to in a dramatic, operatic voice; looking at faces; people to say "wooooooo-EE!" going gradually higher in pitch; catching sight of his feet and studying them every morning; sleeping on Mommy's chest in the morning. (Refuses to sleep on Daddy's; just lifts head up and squirms.)


(All this is partly so I can remember it when I get around to filling out this part of Jamie's baby book, hence the ton of detail.)



He got his four-month shots today, and was such a trooper. He only cried for about five seconds and then just kind of complained. What a brave boy!

I love that picture of him--and liked the detail, since I don't get to be around for all this. But that will change soon :) Love you sis.

He is getting so big! What a great bf for Chloe when she is 30! Lol. So how is the breastfeeding thingy going? Did you quit already?
