Today is Jack's 4 month birthday, and we also had his 4 month well-child check-up. Sadly, this check-up included his second set of shots. So, the stats are in:
Weight: 14 lbs, 1 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 25 1/2 inches (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 1/4 inches (30th percentile)
Basically, our boy is long and lean since he's in such a high percentile for height but not so much his weight :). In the past 2 months he has gained 3 lbs, 3 oz; he grew 2 and 3/4 inches taller; his head grew 3/4 of an inch.
In order to prevent another freak out after shots like last time, we gave him Tylenol about 30 minutes after his shots. Here he is outside of Chipotle post-shots and after lunch: 
After a bottle in the car before heading out for more errands he passed out from the trauma :) Notice the milk on his lip: 
We have been enjoying the great weather here by taking some walks. The sun beats down on Jack's milky skin, so we went and got him a hat:
All that sun makes him sleepy, so here he is after our walk:
We found a dog park called 'Central Bark' here in Irvine that is great for Izzy. They have a side for big dogs and a side for small dogs so that Izzy doesn't get picked on so bad. Jack and I sit in the shade and enjoy the breeze while Izzy and Jonathan throw the ball around. Here's the family enjoying a beautiful day at the dog park:

Lately Jack has wanted to be upright seeing the world more vertically. He is a big lover of the Moby Wrap and Baby Bjorn so that he can be involved in everything that we do. He's been practicing his golfing skills by playing Wii Golf with Jonathan:
We had to go to the DMV, and Jack was a big hit with everyone there. He was looking around and smiling at people for the majority of the time:
He lost it near the end, and I was signing papers for my license and registration between two different desks while also trying to balance him in one arm and feed him a bottle. It was the DMV/baby gauntlet.

We also went out and got Jack an exersaucer/bouncy seat so that something besides us can hold him upright. We still put him on his activity mat so he can learn to roll, but he is learning to love this new contraption. His feet don't quite reach the ground even on the lowest setting, so we have to put a blanket or platform below it so that he can touch his feet down to bounce. I think he's tall enough but doesn't weigh quite enough to get the seat lower to the ground to touch.
One of my favorite home decorating stores is IKEA, and Denver was in the process of building one when we left. Luckily, we have one super close to home here in Irvine! We had a good time decorating our place to make it a little bit more cozy, and we even got something for Jack's room.
I'm hoping that in the next week or two I can post an update that Jack is rolling in both directions, but that's what's going on for now!
