Jack Plays Peekaboo with Mommy!

He was controlling the blanket all by himself!

December 15 -5 Months Old

Peepee

Jack woke up crying this morning around 7am. I went to check on him and he was soaked. He had peed through his diaper, swaddle blanket, regular blanket and sheets. He even got Mr. Bunny a little damp. He wears a size 2-3 diaper but I put him in size 3 for bedtime because he can blast right through the 2-3. Well, apparently he can now blast through the 3s! Time to try 4, I suppose! Without hesitation I brought him downstairs and plopped him right in the bathtub. I scrubbed him down, dried him off and dressed him. He fell asleep soon after that, around 8 and has been sleeping for the last 2 hours :(. I miss him. This is the time we're supposed to play together, but I don't want to wake him, he needs all the sleep he can get.

GREAT NEWS! Monday I start back on first shift!! It's going to be a big adjustment because I have to be at work for 6:30 but I think it will be well worth it. Josh, Jack and I can actually be a normal family again. I'll get to spend more time with both of them... I can't wait!
And I'm hoping that when I pick him up in Rochester 2 days a week I can swing over to visit Jaime and my little nephew more! Jaime, I hope that's okay! :)

4 Month Checkup

Jack went for his checkup this week and is doing wonderful! He's now a hair over 16 pounds and is 26.5 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height/length and head circumference. He grew about 4 inches from his 2 month check up which is a lot from what they tell me. He had to get 3 shots again... so sad!!

Today Jack came out with my sisters, mom and I for some Christmas shopping. We left the house around 9:30am and didn't get home until about 5:30. He was such a good boy all day! It was a pleasure being out with him. The was very little fussing and no crying. Hopefully all this action will help him sleep tonight!
