Jakobe has started this new thing with his lips. He's been doing this on a regular basis. He will put his lips together and sort of tuck his lips in.


Yesterday we hit a milestone. Sitting up!!! Jakobe was laying on his boppy and he all of a sudden sit up! All on his own. David and I were shocked and excited. I started clapping and David was telling him good job. It was so amazing. We have been waiting for this for so long. Here is a picture of him laying on the boppy. The next picture is him sitting up. This was the third time he did it. We were so proud!!! (I think it's so cute that he's looking at us like what did I do?)Here are Jakobe's squeals. He does this constantly. The first time he made his squeal noise (Saturday, May 24th) I was changing him. He did it and I jumped back because I thought I hurt him some how. When I looked down he had a huge smile on his face. It was really cute. I must say that when he does this in public he sure turns heads. He is very loud when he does this. (I wonder who he gets that from?)


Jakobe had his 4 month check up on Tuesday, May 27th. He weighs 13.9 pounds (25th percentile) and measured 23 3/4 inches ( 10th percentile). His head circumference is 15 1/2 inches. He again got 3 shots. 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. He cried this time when he got the shots. I felt horrible. The doctor said his ears looked good. They weren't red anymore and didn't have any discharge. Yeah! I'm supposed to continue with his medicine until it runs out. He was very very fussy the rest of the day. If I moved his legs wrong or accidentally bumped them he would cry. His legs were very sore. The doctor was impressed that he has now doubled his birth weight. I was warned to start to watch for teething. It can happen any time now. Fun Fun! He goes back in two months for his 6 month check up. I can't believe how fast he is growing! Crazy!



Jakobe has just 'found' his voice. He loves to squeal (very loudly I must add) loves to make gurgling sounds and loves to giggle. He is full of smiles now. Basically anything you say gets one of his adorable smiles out of him. He is into his tongue. He sticks it out all the time and plays with his lips with his tongue. He's really into his legs and feet. He loves to kick and move them all around. He's still chewing on his hands. Working on getting his entire fist in his mouth. He can only get about half of it in there right now. He's trying so hard to sit up. It is so cute to watch him. He loves to stand. He can stand for about up to a minute now. He is just growing so fast. It is so fun to watch him grow and mature each day. He is such a fun baby!
