4 months old

Jacob turned 4 months old last Thursday, Nov. 20. We had a doctor's appointment that day for a check up & my boy weighed in at 18lbs 14oz & measured 25.5 in. Growing like a weed! The doctor told us we could start trying cereal once a day to get him used to eating from a spoon, so I guess we'll start that in the next week. I don't forsee a problem, but I'll update you as we go along.

He's sitting up pretty much on his own now. Still a little wobbly, but does really good. He's been reaching & grasping things for several weeks. He loves playing with his keys. He's begun turning over some & is sleeping thru the night! He started that about 3 weeks ago. His momma was very happy!! Of course, that first night I kept waking up to make sure he was ok, thought about getting him up, but decided he'd let me know when he was ready to eat.

We bought him a stocking Saturday. That was fun. We now have the 'family' stockings - Jason has a Santa, I have a snowman, & Jacob has a penguin. They're so cute! Jacob likes looking at the lights on the Christmas tree. I suppose next year we'll switch to the colored lights & more kid-friendly ornaments. No more glass balls. Who knows - we may have a doggy gate around the tree next year!
