Jacob's 4th Month

During Jacob's fourth month, he REALLY started developing and showing his own little personality!  He is super sweet, laid back, and into everything!  Now that his little head is steady when sitting up, this month he INSISTS on sitting straight up!  No more laying back for Jacob :)  Unless he is being fed, he does a little abdominal crunch to make sure he is sitting up and seeing the world.  He smiles all the time now and squeals with delight when playing with Mama & Daddy!

Our happiest boy!

Propped up on the fouton.  He is wearing 6 month clothes now and is filling them out!  At his four month appointment, he was 27 3/4 inches long (she said he was basically 28 inches).  He weighed 18lbs. and 8 oz.  By the time mid-December rolled around, he was in 6-9 month clothes and starting to wear 9 month.  So much for the summer 12 month overalls that we already had for him :)
This is the super cute bear outfit that Lisa and Randy Whitley got for him.
Happiest when I'm playing with daddy :)
Reading nursery rhymes with mama.
This month he started holding my face when I feed him.  It is so cute and just melts my heart!  By five months, he is touching my face and running his hands thorough (and pulling) my hair.
Our sleepy one
Chillin' with daddy before church in the PJs Mr. Riggan gave us.

Love my bouncy seat!
Jacob's favorite toy in all the world was unveiled the day he turned 4 months old.  The Thompsons bought his exersaucer for him for our shower in June.  Jacob loves it so much!  Although this month he is really only interested in the chameleon, the alligator and the monkeys, during his fifth month he found everything on the exersaucer.  What a wonderful playland for little one!
Finally. . . I can push up on my arms!  After weeks of building strength, this month Jacob pushed his little torso off his tummy time mat!  Way to go!  Crawling is coming to a living room near you!
