4 Months

Dear Jackson-

Today you are 4 months old, and getting soooo big!! I can't believe how fast time flies. You are doing so many new and wonderful things, such as:

• you can hold your head up without any problems. When I fly you up in the air, you hold your head as straight as an arrow.
• you watch everything and everyone. One of your favorite people to watch is your BIG sister...I don't think you love anyone more than her.
  
• the last time I weighed you, you weigh 15 pounds...my oh my, how time changes someone:)
• you are able to hold things in your hand and bring them up to your mouth.

• we no longer swaddle you, and you LOVE it!! Since we started, you are sleeping through the night. One night, you slept from 8:15-7:45...WOW!! Since you are not swaddled, you do a full tour of your bed at night.
• you started eating oatmeal (baby) and you like it.
  
• napping in your swing is still a must. If I nap you in your crib, you only sleep for 30 minutes. In fact, we travel with your swing.
• traveling is not so bad. You do cry some of the time in the car, but I think (hope) you are getting better. We are going away for Uncle Toddy's wedding on Saturday, so time will tell.
• belly time is still not a favorite. Every time we put you on your belly, you spit up.
• you can still roll from your belly to your back, but you do not yet have the back to the belly.
  
• smiling and laughing is what you do most of the time. You have the best smile and the most contagious laugh!!!

• you are in size 6 months clothing. Daddy even put a new onesie on you today that was 6-9 months. According to him, it fit perfectly.
• choppys...you got 'em!! They are so cute and kissable!!
• your hair is till red, and your eyes are still blue!!

Jackson, you are the best baby!! You are a joy, and everyone loves you. People tell me all the time what a great baby you are!! I do not think anyone loves you more than your sister, and I do not think you love anyone more than your sister. We love you both!!
