Jack – 4 months old

Jack is now four months old and a third of the way to his first birthday. He laughs a lot now, but he seems more reserved than Mara did, saving his smiles and laughs for when he's really happy. He loves for us to sing to him – especially when he's on the changing table. Our rendition of "I Am a Stinky Boy" is one of his favorite songs and will always get a smile if not a laugh too.

He doesn't roll over quite yet, but he will roll up onto his side from his back and it doesn't take much to help him roll the rest of the way. He has even kind of rolled from his tummy to back, but not really. Jack loves to grab his toes, and he still chews on his fingers all the time. He even tries to hold his bottle a lot of the time and will pull his pacifier out of his mouth and then tries to put it back in.

He is still doing well at school. He doesn't always eat or sleep real well for other people, but that's to be expected when you're a growing boy. He goes back to the doctor next Friday, so we'll get to see exactly how big he is now.
