NOTHING is more amazing than hearing the sound of you child learn to laugh….ok hearing his heartbeat for the first time is right up there too. Hope this makes you smile….

Just Because...

So much of my blogging lately has been about learning about nighttime parenting (btw it's going great!) that I had to share these photos of our little man sleeping. Why you may ask….because ever since Jack learned to roll, he also learned that he prefers to sleep on his stomach…well not really on his "stomach", he prefers to sleep like this….. =)





I'll let you in on a little secret…sometimes his Daddy sleeps like this too. Genes are a powerful thing ;)

Yummy

Jack had his 4 month check up last Friday and he is doing great! He is now 13 lbs 8 oz (6 lbs 9 oz at birth) and 24 3/4 inches (19 3/4 at birth) which puts him in 30-40% so basically he's a little peanut.

We talked to the doctor about starting Jack on solids and he said we could start him anytime between 4 and 6 months. He said it MIGHT help him sleep a little better so we decided to give it a shot.

Last night we started him on 'solids' or otherwise known as breast milk with some rice cereal in it. As you will see, he was very receptive. Last night was the BEST night we have had so far! J put him down awake and he went to sleep without a peep (a first) and then he went 6 hours until needing to eat again (another first). We are still holding our breath, thinking last night may have been a fluke. We will see how the rest of the week goes….here's hoping for success!!! Either way, I keep reminding J that we have come a LOOOONG way since weeks 3-9.
