We took Jake to his 4mo check-up yesterday... as you can see, he wasn't too happy getting his second set of vaccinations, but he was fine the moment it was over though.

Can you believe it's already been 4 months?!? It has sure gone by fast! It seems like he's doing something new everyday like sitting in the high chair and playing in his exersaucer. I think he even said 'mom' the other day... I know it was purely accidental, but it still warms the heart! We've been given the green light from his doctor to give him cereal, so stay tuned for those (sure to be messy) pics!


Maybe it seems like it's gone by fast because there's been alot of activity in general. Apart from the baby himself, we're still adjusting to our new work schedules, researching the minivan purchase, selling the townhouse (closing in August), designing/building a new house, and finding a decent place to stay for the 6 months in between.

It really hasn't been as hard as I thought it'd be... adjusting to life with a baby. I mean, sure, you get less sleep, and it seems like every single task revolves around his eating and sleeping schedule, and it takes longer to get ready and out the door, and you can't go to the movies or out to eat whenever you want to, but it's just something you get used to. It's not at all as inconvenient as it would seem, and it's all so worth it when he smiles his gummy little smile at you!! Overall, we've been blessed with such a healthy and happy baby, it makes me want a second one... in about 2 years, of course!
