No laying back for me

Jacob doesnt like laying back much anymore.

4 month check-up

18 lbs 4 oz 97th percentile
26 inches long 90th percentile

Dr. Goldsmith says Jacob looks great, he's just going to be a big boy! He got 4 shots and a vaccine by mouth. He has started eating fruits and veggies and he loves them. He eats really well with a spoon. His favorites are green peas and carrots. He's still taking 6 oz of formula every 3 hours. He still gets up around 2 or 3 am to take a bottle but goes right back to sleep. He's such a sweet happy baby. He smiles and laughs all the time. He still hasnt rolled over but he's trying. Dr Goldsmith said that it could take him a little longer than other babies b/c he has more weight to pull.

Our Kindergartner and Big Boy

Rachel started K5 2 weeks ago. It's hard to believe she's already big enough to go to school. I only teared up a few times so I thought I did fairly well. She loved it and already has a new best friend.

The same day Rachel started school, we took Jacob for his 8 week check-up. He weighsed 13 lbs 13 oz and is 24 1/4 inches long. 90th percentile for height and weight.

What a difference 6 weeks makes

Jacob has grown so much in 6 weeks. His 2 week appt he was up to 9 lbs 4 oz and his 4 week he weighed 11 lbs! He takes 4 oz every 3 hours and I've started feeding him cereal at night before bed. He loves it! Rachel loves her baby brother and loves helping out with everything, except changing diapers. He's a very sweet snuggly baby. He does seem to have a small temper at times though. We love him so much and can't imagine our lives without him.

Jacob Payne Grier

Well I'm 7 weeks behind on posting. Jacob was born on June 11 at 1:47 pm weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. The labor was pretty easy. The dr broke my water at 7:30 am and I was at 10 cm by 1:00 pm. My epidural stopped working on one side (ouch). Luckily, they were able to get the anesthesiologist in to fix that before I started to push. I only pushed about 10 minutes before he was here.
