These pictures are a bit late of course, but it has been a hectic couple of days.
My first Father's Day was an enjoyable one...even though Jacob had a blowout diaper in his pack-n-play. Jen made blueberry pancakes and sausage for breakfast then I grilled steaks for lupper (we ate abetween lunch and supper). Best of all there was home made chocolate pie. So apparently the point of Father's Day is to fatten me up. I told Jennifer I would be cautious if she told me to check something in the oven.
Jacob bought me a book by John Elderidge and a book on CD "for those late night feedings". Thanks kiddo!
The rest of the day was spent taking it easy. We popped in
Cars which Jacob zoned into. Usually if the TV is on he doesn't care too much with a few exceptions. These exceptions include: the close up confessionals on
The Office, the opening and closing credits on any show, and for some odd reason he loves that Six Flags guy ("more flags, more fun, Six Flags!"...I am starting to wonder if that could be a racist commercial. Think I will address why on
my other blog soon.). Anyway, he loved
Cars.
We finally fixed the bathtime problem by buying him an inflatable tub. Of course I realized once we got home that I have no air pump of any kind except for the emergency one that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car. Let's just say that was a fun experience. He did dig the new tub the first few times but lately he isn't so keen on being in it. We're not sure yet if he is just really tired when he gets in or if the loudness of the water upsets him or if it is something else.
The last two day have been just us boys here at the house as Jenn is down in the Lone Star State for an interview. He has done really well. He gets really excited when Jenn calls and I put it on speaker phone. He had his 6 month checkup yesterday as well which went really well. The doctor as usual went on about how advanced he was in a lot of areas. She asked if he was trying to sit up yet to which I replied, "pshhh ya...for totally like 6 weeks now yo!" She didn't believe me but then sat him up and could only say "wow, that's unusual." What can I say? The kid is awesome. Both his height and head size were normal, but she said his weight was on the light side due to his high activtiy level. Basically, he burns more calories than he takes in. I tried to tell Jacob that his workout regiment was too extreme. She gave me some ideas for sneaking in some more calories though since he isn't big on eating his bottle (he'd much rather play).
For those who want to know, his stats are:
Height - 26 inches (23.8 @ 4 months)
Weight - 14 lbs 15.5 ounces (13.2 @ 4 months)
And now onto the pics!
