Jack's four month appointment

Amazingly Jack is already four months old. He recently went in for his check up and shots. He is doing well and is healthy. He weighed in at 19.5 pounds with a height of 27 inches. This puts him at the 95th percentile for weight and height. His head is in the 75th percentile. He might be teething and is no longer making it through the night without a feeding. However, his day time routine is becoming clearer. He is also getting better at putting himself to sleep in his crib. He has found his toes and enjoys grabbing them. He can take his binky out of his mouth and on occasion put it back in.

Caitlin's Birthday

On September 26,2010, Caitlin turned two years old. She was very excited about her birthday party and had a lot of fun. She was opening presents from morning until dawn. Thank you to everyone for your generosity! She had several friends over: Rowan, Julia, Olivia, Nathan and Matthew. She enjoyed the Curious George theme including balloons, chocolate covered bananas, and especially the cake. She enjoyed the day so much that she did not take a nap. Caitlin did eventually go to bed and had a very long nap the next day.

Jack's Baptism

Jack was Baptized on September 25, 2010. Thank you to David and Betsy for serving as Jack's Godparents. Thank you to everyone who traveled here for his big day. We are grateful that so many family members could come including: David, Betsy, Nathan, Matthew, Chris, Grandma and Papa Gizmo, and Grandma and Albie. The ceremony was quick and pleasant. Everyone behaved themselves, although Caitlin did want to splash in the font during the baptism.

Jack getting buried

Caitlin does enjoy playing with her little brother. Although I am not sure that Jack always like being played with.

Jack Jack

For those of you who need more Jack, here are some videos and photos from the past few weeks. He is a happy baby. His unofficial weight is 19 pounds. We will get an official weight in a couple of weeks when he has his four month appointment. He and his sister are getting along very well. We are a little hopeful as he as slept through the night for the past two nights. Last night he went to sleep at 7:20 and slept until 6:20. Caitlin also slept through the night. She has been scared of the dark and getting us in the middle of the night. So for the first time in a quite a while we slept the entire night in our bed.

Tricycle Ride

Caitlin learned how to ride a tricycle with the help of Grandma. She does not have the steering concept quite yet, but she picked up on the pedals quickly.

The Family Being Together

Here are some more pictures of the family hanging around the house playing. I should also mention that Caitlin had a great time when Pat and Bill came over to visit. Kim and I are grateful for the kid free night that we were able to spend in New York city.
