4 months!

Our little Jackson turned 4 months old last Thursday!  We had his check up yesterday and got his stats.  Jackson is 25.75 inches tall (73rd percentile), 13lbs 10 oz (20th percentile), and his head circumference is 41 cm (43rd percentile).  Our little guy is still tall and skinny!

Jackson loves smile and giggle at mommy and daddy!  He has also started screeching when he gets really excited, which is awesome to listen to :)  He is still our little wiggle worm!
 
Jackson loves to roll on his side and look at his toes, especially when we are trying to change his diaper.

Jackson is learning to play on mommy's computer!  Every morning after eating breakfast, Jackson and I get on the computer and chat with daddy at work.  Jackson is getting better and better at "typing" messages to daddy on the computer, and daddy loves getting them!  He has even started hitting the enter button on his own sometimes!

At the beginning of this month, Jackson started grabbing his binky out of his mouth often but wasn't very good at getting it back in his mouth.  Just a couple of weeks ago, he started getting his binky back in his mouth!  Sometimes he turns it around though and starts sucking on it backward.
 
Jackson has started teething and is a VERY drooly baby!  He also loves to chomp on his hands, our hands, and anything else he can get his mouth on.  No teeth coming through yet, thank goodness!  Otherwise we wouldn't be so quick to let him chew on our hands!

Jackson got to meet his aunts, uncle, and cousins on my side of the family!  He and I spent a week in Connecticut over Memorial Day weekend.  Jackson just loved being played with all the time, and getting to play with new toys!!  Unfortunately, most of the pictures are on my mom's camera, so we'll post about that later.

Yesterday after Jackson's doctor's appointment we got the go ahead to start rice cereal!  Last night was our first experience, and it was really fun!  Here is a video of the first few bites, and then some pictures from after that.
Trying to pull his bib off before we even started!
 






All done!
Jackson is turning into such a fun baby, and we love interacting with him.  His smiles always brighten our day, even when he wakes up early from his naps and gives us big smiles as we try to get him back to sleep.  Here are some fun 4 month pictures!

  2. What a cutie! In my opinion, you're getting into one of the best ages of the first year! He's going to be interacting more and more each day but he's won't be so independent yet.=) Love reading the updates! Hope you all are doing well!
