Four Months Old

Today is Jack's big four month birthday.  He celebrated this morning with some fun tummy time.  He is getting so much stronger!  His head control  has improved so much over the past two weeks.  Of all three boys he is the only one doesn't seem to mind tummy time.  Maybe that is because he usually has a brother around willing to lay down and play with him. 

So what is new with Jack at four months old?  He loves chewing on his hands.  Bibs seem to always end up in his mouth since they are so close to begin with, he can't seem to coordiate his hands enough to get other things to his mouth.

Jack has also realized that there are these really cool little things at the end of his legs called feet.  He looks at them all the time and tried to grab them, but he isn't quite coordinated enough to get the job done yet. 

He is an incredible nighttime sleeper, unfortunately that doesn't quite carry over to his daytime sleep.  The only way I can get him to nap at all during the day is when I put him in his swing.   I have a feeling that I'm really going to have a tough time breaking him of the habit in a couple months, but hey, for now it is working. 

We have Jack's four month appointment tomorrow, I hate the fourth month check up because I know there will be shots.  Lots of shots.  Hopefully Jack will be a little trooper.  As you can see his thighs have plenty of padding, so maybe the shots won't hurt as much.  A momma can hope, right?
