The J-man is 4 months old today. Let me say it again (and again, and again) it is just INSANE how quickly time flies. How can this huge smiling, rolling, almost-regularly laughing little boy be the same tiny yellow baby? It just blows my mind. I'm certain I will be saying the exact same thing in 18 years when he graduates from high school (top of his class of course and headed to Harvard).
In J-man news:
At his last checkup he was 16lbs 10oz, and 25.5 inches long. They say they are supposed to double their birth weight by 6 months. Well, we have an overachiever. He was born at 8lbs 2oz. So he has more than doubled his birthweight....by four months. Yes, he likes to eat. Hell, I like to eat too. So this is no surprise. Everyone comments on what a good baby he is. I will agree, except when he gets hungry. When that child is even the tiniest twinge of hungry you WILL know about it. We go in for his skull x-rays tomorrow. Hopefully we will get the results quickly, and then we will be going to see a specialist out of the local childrens hospital. Just precautionary of course. But I feel its better to be pro-active with this. So after my last post, where I noted that he wasnt laughing. Yeah, um, well the next day he showed me how to eat my words. He laughed hysterically at one of my mom's co-workers for a good minute or two. As soon as I pulled out the camera to capture the moment he stopped. And he hasnt really laughed since. He has started to a couple of times, but no real laughs like he gave the virtual stranger. It's like he read my blog entry and thought "i'll show her, I will laugh for this lady and then NEVER again."
* Insert diabolical laugh here.*
Hopefully by his next monthiversary I will be able to post a video of a laughing chubster. Lets hope.
His stats are as follows:
Birth 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long
4 days old 6lbs 9oz 21 inches long
6 days old 7lbs 4oz
11 days old 7lbs 4oz 21 inches long
25 days old 8lbs 5oz 22.5 inches long
32 days old 10lbs 5oz
39 days old 11lbs 5oz
46 days old 12lbs 5oz 23.3 inches long
58 days old 13lbs 7oz
138 days old 16lbs 10oz (96%) and 25.5 inches long (89%)
