Captain Jack's Log - Chunky Monkey

Our little Jackster is now 2 months old! He seems to be the size of most 4 month old babies. Heath and I always make bets with how much he weighs, but at his last appointment neither of us were even close. After laying him on the scale, I was a bit shocked when it read 13lbs 13oz! Lets just say Jack likes to eat. He is in the 92 percentile for weight. I think a couple of those pounds are in his cheeks alone. Jack is also in the 43 percentile for length and 50 percentile for head circumference. It's amazing how fast they grow!!

Not only does Jack like to eat, but he loves to jabber. Dad says he inherited that from mom...I hardly get anything done all day because I can't help but lay on the floor next to my jabbering little guy and have a little conversation. Its been so fun to see how he is learning the concepts of communicating. I will say something to him and when I'm done talking he will coo and gurgle his response. Then he stops and looks at me as if he's waiting for me to reply.

Jack is full of smiles, even when mom cant get his overalls on. He is really strong too and has rolled over from his belly to back twice. His second favorite thing to eat is his right hand. I've decided it will be easier and less stressful to just accept that he is going to be a thumb sucker! I love watching this little guy grow and learn. Being a mom is the most rewarding responsibility and privilege I've had.
