I'm 4 Months Old!

Jacob has officially been around for 1/3 of a year! He had his check up yesterday and did a great job. He squeeled and laughed for the nurse and doctor. He also gave a very odd smile when they took off his diaper, so I had a talk with him about that.

He now weighs 13 lbs 1 1/2 ounces and is 23.75 inches long. He was right along where he should be development wise and ahead, apparently, in a few other areas (being able to stay upright by himself for a few moments for instance). Once again, everything was fine until they brought in the needles. They double teamed him this time, a nurse each poking a leg at the same moment. It took him a few seconds to register what just happened and then he gave they heart breaking crying. He is still a bit puny from it today so we are taking it easy.

Side note, I made the photos smaller so those of you who have trouble opening them should be able to now. Hopefully.

Such a laid back boy.

Yes, he has been working out.

Stretching before roll-over practice.

"Hello!"

Jacob presents "How to Roll Over in 3 Easy Steps"

"First, lift your legs and place hands on a firm surface."

"Next, quickly extend legs out and raise arms above your head."

"Finally, look cute for the camera."

"Hey! I have legs!"

No caption needed...though I suppose typing this makes it a caption.

Staged photo? Maybe, maybe not. Who's to say he didn't crawl down to the basement, climb up the bookcase and retieve Superman and start to play with him by his own choice?? Hmmm???
