Jack is Four Months!

Baby Gym Pro

My Sweet Son,

You are four months old today and each day with you just gets better! In the past couple days you've definitely become more vocal. I think that sometimes you just talk & yell because you love the sound of your own voice, but that's fine with me for now because I love your little voice, too.

You've totally perfected your baby gym such that you do not let one song finish before you're pulling the ladybug for the next song. Unfortunately, you're not nearly as impressed with the baby gym anymore, which makes me a little sad because it means that you always want to be held you are getting bigger and I still want you to be my little baby boy.

One of my favorite parts of the day is rocking you to sleep at night. We turn on a little music and discuss all the fun we had over the day and plan adventures for the following day. You're a very sweet listener and let me do all the talking. I'm so thankful that you still love to snuggle your mama and I love the sweet, contented sounds you make when you sleep. And as much as I LOVE sleeping with you I have to force myself to limit our snuggling naps. Partially because you sleep like your daddy (very loudly and wiggly), which doesn't allow for very good rest for mama, but also because it would be way too easy to fall into a pattern.

Our friend, Lindsy Read of LMR Photography, came to take pictures of you today, which I planned to do months ago. She did a wonderful job and I'm excited to get them printed up. I cannot wait to get pics with you, your brother & sister. I can tell you love them already. It's been awhile since you've seen Therin so I'm glad he's coming soon, and nobody gets you giggling like your Kylie. Oftentimes, you're content to just stare at her. It's kinda creepy sweet.

Happy (Four Month) Birthday, Jack!
