Jack weighs about 15.5 lbs now and is 24″ long. He’ll be 5 months old this Saturday.

Old Uncle Bill had a beard;
For decades it hadn’t been sheared.
The hair grew around Him and wound to the ground
‘Til one Monday he just disappeared!

Jack’s head is finally big enough to fit into the hats we bought him about 2 months ago! Here’s a picture with the bear again. He is 4 months old as of yesterday. He’s really started babbling away lately, and he and Grandpa have some very interesting “conversations”.

Wow, I’ve really been lax about posting pictures lately! Jack is working on his push-ups here. I haven’t been as good about putting on his tummy as I should have been, but lately we’ve been working on it a lot. It’s really only taken a couple of days for him to get to where he [...]

Time for another picture with Mr. Bear…

Here’s Jack with my father wearing his father’s hat.

Jack is still a little floppy, but sturdy enough to sit in the high chair while we eat dinner. We padded him with towels to keep him sitting upright and to make sure he wouldn’t hurt himself in case he flopped forward! He sure enjoyed [...]

Don’t I look rested in this picture? Jack slept through the night last night, with a little help from me. He woke up about every hour, but I got to him each time before he got fully awake and was able to settle him back to sleep. Part of our “go to sleep” routine is [...]

I love this sweater - he looks like such a little man. He’s starting to enjoy the sound of his voice and was doing a little yelling while I was taking these pictures.

I borrowed Laura’s camera, which has made me realize how limited my camera is. This one takes much better close ups and captures motion much better. Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning.

Boy is it hard with my ancient 5 year old digital camera to get a non-blurry picture of Jack! He’s constantly in motion.
