Jake is four months old! I can't believe four months ago I hadn't even met our handsome little boy...or sould I say our BIG boy! Jake is growing with leaps and bounds. We took him to the Dr. today and he weighed 16.5 lbs and was a whopping 26.75 inches long! That puts our "bruiser" as our Dr. said in the 75th percentile in weight and the 90th percentile in height! Not only is he growing beautifully he is also developing a wonderful personality! He loves to interact with people. When anyone comes within 2 feet of him he will let out the most gleeful squeals and coos. And the laughs.... Oh the laughs! He cocks his neck back and belts out the most intoxicating giggles I have ever heard. I can't help but to laugh right along with him! Jake is learning a lot about himself as well. He has begun rolling over although he has only done it a few times he seems to frighten himself when he changes position all on his own. He has also discovered his hands! He reaches for toys, grasps them and....yep you guessed it the toy goes directly into his mouth. He is quite the biter, nawing on anything he can get his hands on. If he can't find something interesting to chew on he is just as happy chewing on his hands in place of the toy. With his new excitment of eating anything in sight we have also started him on some solid foods. He eats cereal and many different types of fruit. We are still working on the veggies as he makes faces and purses his lips in disgust over peas, green beans and sweet potatoes. Another exciting thing to report is Jake is sleeping through the night.... OH YES HE IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!! It couldn't have come at a better time either! I went back to work about 3 weeks ago and just last week he decided to take it easy on old Mom and Dad and hit the sack around 7:30pm and sleep until 6:00am. Thank the Lord for that because I am not sure I would be able to handle a household, a husband, a 4th grade daughter and her homework, a sleepless son and a full time job all at the same time!
Life is surely exciting in the Link household, take care!
