4 Months and Growing

J - 5 days old
the sweetest thing

These pictures were taken 5 days after we brought Jacob home from the hospital. It's amazing how a person can change so much in just a short amount of time. He looks so tiny here!!!

We can't believe it has already been 4 months since our sweet little boy entered this world. He has changed our lives so much, and all for the better. We simply cannot imagine life without him!!

Most of you know, but for those of you that don't....Jacob made his entrance a little earlier than planned. He came four weeks ahead of schedule and was a mere 6 pounds 3 ounces at birth. He was not breathing at first and for the first couple of weeks we really struggled to get him to eat anything. I wondered for a while if he was ever going to gain weight.

Well ladies and gentlemen - have no fear!!!! He is healthy as can be. Jacob went for his 4 month check up today and things could not have been better. The doctor said he looks perfect and is advanced for his age. She said he looks more like a 6 month old...really!?!

As far as weight/height go. Jacob is now a whopping 14 pounds/13 ounces and is about 25 inches long. He is in the 50% for both height and weight. This is awesome. He has jumped over 46% in height considering he was in the less than 5% when he went for his 2 month check up. This boy is growing like a weed. Who knows...maybe he will get that dormant tall gene :).

We are so very proud of our little man and just love him to pieces. He is the best thing that's happened to us and our family is so blessed by his presence. We thank God everyday for allowing us the pleasure of being his parents. What an honor!!!

Happy 4 months little man. I can't wait to see what you'll look like next month.
