ense, because, I think I did as his Mama.) I know most parents love chunky babies but if anyone has paid any sort of attention, Jonathan and I have both battled our weights our entire lives and that is one battle I don't want for my Jacob. His weight definately has doubled - 15 pounds, 8.5 ounces. Let me just say....Jacob had just downed a 6 oz bottle with 2 tablespoons of rice cereal right before I put him on the scale, so I would think he weighs more like 15 pounds, 3-4 oz but I guess we can fight over ounces later. His weight was in the 75-80% and his head and height are in the 75-90% at 25.2 inches and 16.8 inches. So, this is our story. JACOB IS GROWING! But in all honesty, he got a great report, very healthy kiddo and that is what every parent wishes and prays for. Now-if I can only wait until 6 months to feed this big boy some fruits and veggies....I'm not so confident. Guess we will take it a feeding at a time...Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

No question about it.....I'M A BIG BOY!!!
Well, our Jacob went to his Pediatrician today for his 4 month check up and Dr. G. said, "Well, what a big boy we have turned into!!!" (Am I supposed to take off

More Cereal Please!
Well, if you are going to break rules, you might as well break 'em BIG! My Jacob has progressed to eating his cereal out of a bowl. And he LOVES his cereal!!! Who needs a bottle when you got a spoon and a bowl? And who cares that I'm not supposed to be feeding him anything but formula until 4 months? They can come live in my house and then we'll talk!
The past few weeks have been quite busy for us. We survived Jonathan's first week out as he traveled to the middle of nowhere Arkansas. My parents were such a great help! We are so thankful for their kindness and letting us barge in on their lives for a week. But we had fun-Jacob did a lot of growing and had lots of fun with his new friends - the little dogs. Nice not to have canines towering over him for a change.
Well, and of course I have to include pics of our other boys....they are adjusting to Jacob just fine. They pretty much ignore him during the day, but they are so excited to see him every morning. It is a struggle keeping them off of Jacob's blankets. They are soft and smell so good - I would want to cuddle up on them too!
