Five Months Old

I can't believe Jack is Five months old. Now that I am back to work, the time really does fly by. We started feeding Jack a solid meal at night and boy does he look forward to that time. He has had so far Green Beans, Bananas, Applesauce, Pear & Pineapple, Carrots, and squash, and at first he is not sure but after the second bite he wants more. He is rolling around more often, I think he may start to crawl in the next little while, which will be exciting, and he is turning into such a handsome boy. We are so lucky to have him in our family and we are enjoying every little minute we can of him.

Its a ...

That's right! Jack is getting a little sister. We are excited to say for now that are family is complete. Everything looks good with the baby and they believe that I will be delivering her February 4, 2010. My original due date was February 11, 2010 - so only a week early.

As the ultrasound tech was doing her check up on the baby, the baby was not cooperating, but what baby does? So the tech had to keep pressing down on my belly to make her move. As she was doing one view of the baby you could see her really moving and it almost looked like she was marching. The tech ended up saying "It looks like she is marching on your bladder." I couldn't have agreed more due to the pressure I was feeling down there. However as the tech had to change the ultrasound tape she lifted up the ultrasound wand and sure enough I could feel her moving, it almost felt as though she was trying to stretch anyway she could.

Here are some pictures of Ms Abigail Leigh South

Here are a couple of side profiles of her.

These are her legs (as they were moving)

Finally, if you can see and understand what you are looking at...its a girl.

Four Months Old!

Here we are, four months later and enjoying every little bit of it. Jack is weighing in at 14lbs and 4.4 in, he is 25 1/2 inches long and his head is 41 cm around. He is laughing, talking and just being that bright sunshine that we love to what within him. He is working on sitting up still, and if he is laying on the ground you better believe he is ready to move around. Working on rolling over he does a pretty good job. We think he is teething due to his hands always in his mouth and the over flowing waterfall that lands on his bib. We started eating solid foods and so far with pears and pineapples he is enjoying it.

We Love you Jack and can't wait to see you grow up, but don't grow up too fast!
