Jack {Four Months}



+ 16 lbs (68%) and 25.3 inches (63%)
+ Wearing 6-month clothes
+ Is so close to rolling back to front.  He can get his legs and tummy over but can't quite pull his arm through to get his shoulders over.
+ He's hit the dreaded four-month sleep regression and is waking up two or three times a night
+ Likes smiling.  Smiling is his favorite.
+ Giggles require a little more effort than smiles, but we're getting more and more of them
+ Is very alert and loves watching everything going on around him
+ Drools an insane amount
+ Likes: playing in his baby gym, watching his brother play, "talking"
+ Dislikes: being alone when he's awake, not being able to fall asleep because his brother is being loud (this happens a lot)

Nixon {2.5 Years}


+ 30 lbs and an undetermined height, because he wouldn't stand still long enough to measure.
+ Talking up a storm.  He may have had a slow start verbally, but he's more than making up for it now.
+ Is the hugest staller when it comes to nap time and bedtime.
+ The love of trucks, cars, trains, etc. is still going strong.
+ His hair is turning into a big mess, but I can't bring myself to cut off his curls.
+ He's gotten used to Jack, dare I say perhaps even likes him?  He loves to squish him give him hugs and will sometimes lay next to him on the floor during playtime.
+ Doesn't stop moving all day long, but still prefers to snuggle with his mama all night.
+ His current favorite game is filling up his dump truck and garbage truck with blocks (or any small toys) and dumping them back out.  Over and over and over.
+ He has a really creepy fake laugh that he likes to break out pretty often.  Like all day long.  We think it's hilarious.
+ Knows all the colors and most shapes.
+ Can count to the teens, although he usually takes a few creative liberties as far as the correct order.
