Jake

Happy 4 months to our darling son Jake. We are amazed at how fast these months have gone by and wish they would slow down. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.
Jake is such an easy baby. I always say that, and then knock on wood in fear that it might change. Since Jake was about 2 months old, he started sleeping through the night. Now, he sleeps anywhere from 8-11 hours a night. It is wonderful!

He is also our little sucker. He always has something in his mouth...usually his fingers or a burp cloth or toy. He loves to keep that mouth moving! He also loves his pacifier! I have a fear that once he starts crawling around we are going to have any little things on the ground picked up all of the time in fear of him sticking it in his mouth! I have to admit, I never thought I would have a thumb sucker, but boy, is it sure cute!!!Jake loves his sister. Every morning when she hears him cry, she goes running into his room yelling, "Jake's awake! Jake's awake!" and looks at him through his crib. He looks at her and then always starts his baby babble talk! It is just so precious seeing how happy he is to see his sissy!He also loves his jumper! We borrowed this one when we were at my parents house, but Jake has his at home at loves it! He is getting such strong legs already!He also loves going to the park and on the swings! He can't stop smiling!He loves being smothered by kisses from Hailee. He tries giving her kisses too and she just cracks up laughing!Jake started eating rice cereal this past week, (8/27/10) and LOVES it! He was getting to the point where instead of 3-4 hours between each feeding during the day it was becoming more like 2 hours, so I figured it was time to start him on the cereal. I am glad I did, and I think he is too!I wasn't feeding him fast enough so he started showing me how to do it!He is such a beautiful, handsome little guy! And don't you think he looks alot like his Daddy??? Some facts about Jake at 4 months:
