The obsession of loving 16lbs of goodness continues. We have had a great month loving this little guy. One thing is for sure...when he is asleep, I miss him so much. When I get to go in and wake him up from a nap or night sleep...I am so excited to see him (vice versa). I have said this before to quite a few friends...but I love him so much that it hurts sometimes. I could have never imagined these feelings before being a mom to Jack. I want to constantly share new things with him. I want him to make his sweet little noises forever. Time stands still when he puts his messy, slobbery hands on my face and just smiles and coos. Its not always fun and games...but his time that he is awake...I strive to make the most of those moments and not miss one little thing. Being a mom is so much more than I could have ever asked for.
On to the not so sappy side of being a mom...this month has been full of more poop then I know what to deal with. This kid has got to have a limit on this stuff...I mean really! How is something so cute...able to make this amount of poop? We could tell you stories for hours but I will spare you.
Do you know how hard it is to pull all of the padding out of a carseat to clean it and make sure it doesn't have a stain left on it? :)
Seriously though...if I had to do 10 loads of laundry a day instead of 1...it would be worth it. This little boy has just melted me in his tiny lint-filled fingers (where does this lint come from? I have no idea).
Look mom...I am a big boy! :)
Mama and her boy!
Happy 4th of July!

Uh-oh trouble!
Cutie - pie!
Our "headshots" we got for our missions trip to Japan we are about to take.
-Story of the month-
Mr. Jack has started to become very "aware" (nosy) about things going on around him. Definitely when it comes to Lucy (our dog). This month he actually pulled Lucy's hair for the first time. I got a photo of it and everything. Lucy is in for even more of a rude awakening when Jack starts chasing her around. :)
- Highlight of the month - definitely his expressions and his "talking". It makes me so happy to see his personality starting to come out.
- He is still in swaddles - they are tight and snug...but we are not giving up his good sleeping patterns for nothing
- He still sleeps from 8:30-7:00 like a trooper!
- Clothes - 0-3 is gone. We are officially into 3-6 month clothes. Shoe size...unknown still! No need for shoes. :)
- Diapers - Still in size 2 diapers!
- Food - still breastmilk only! :)
- He is still going through about 6-8 diapers a day! ($$$)
- His bumbo is his favorite seat in the house. However, his little thighs are so big that they get stuck in the seat when trying to get them out. Bless his heart.
- New things: He tried out his highchair, big boy stroller seat, and johnny jumper this month...however he is still a little to small for all of them. :) Until next month on those...
- He is a rolling machine (he also is a rolly polly...but i digress)
- A new skill that he is picked up this past month is reaching for his toes and sucking on his toes.
- His schedule has stayed the same since last month. Since 10 weeks old we have been on the same schedule...going strong! #Babywisemom
- His 4 month check up was this past month...and he weighed in at 16lbs and 25 inches long. He is in the 75% percentile for height, weight, and head :)
