Summertime with Jack

Jack at four months:

• Wearing size 2 diapers comfortably (we think he's around 14 lbs but we're not sure. And according to my measurements, he's about 24 inches long.)
• Possibly teething (lots of drool, whining, mouth-grabbing, chewing, and a bit of runny nose. But he could be just being a baby, too).
• Sleeping through the night still - and napping quite well also.
• Rolling over ALL the time, attempting to army crawl (he can make it a couple of inches over 5-10 minutes but that's all.)
• "Talking" all the time!

Loves: Taking baths, swimming, having his neck kissed, rolling over, putting things in his mouth, being bounced around, whacking things with his fists, grabbing hair.

Dislikes: Being put in the car seat when he's already tired, having his nose cleaned... that's about it. He's a happy kid!

We just love having Jack in our family - we think he's the greatest. Right after school got out, we took a week to go to Denver and Houston for a Sommerfeldt reunion. We got to go to the ocean, take Jack swimming for the first time, do some shopping and roller skating and park-playing. And Jack got lots and lots of love from his 11 other cousins! We were worried about the 8 hour drive to Denver and the 2 hour flight to Houston, but he did great, with lots of sleeping and minimal crying, and he was a good sport the whole trip. We learned that he is much more flexible than we first thought :)

We also celebrated my birthday with ice skating, hiking the Y, and a wonderful surprise party with good friends and family. Then we went to Seven Peaks water park on Memorial Day and spent the whole afternoon taking turns on the slides and splashing with Jack. He will love swimming and water if we have anything to say about it!

Lots of cousin time!
