Our little linebacker...

Jonah is growing like a weed lately! We went for his 4 month checkup yesterday and Dr. Bill said he was very pleased with Jonah's growth. He is 17# 6oz and 26in long. That comes out to be 80th percentile in weight and length! Derek says he's right on track to be a linebacker! He got his 4 month shots, too. Thankfully, they had Pentacil so he ended up getting 2 shots instead of 4! I think he appreciated that ;) We have been feeding him baby food at night for the past couple of weeks. So far, he has had carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, and bananas. We did the bananas kinda out of order, because he started having some diarrhea (that turned into a full blown stomach virus). Poor thing had diarrhea for 2 days, then last night (the same day he got his 4 month shots) he started having even worse diarrhea and throwing up. It was the most pitiful thing ever. I was just sitting in the floor holding him while he was getting sick. I just cried right along with him. I do not like seeing my baby upset. He had no idea what was going on, he just looked at me like he was saying "fix it, mommy". And I wanted to so bad!!! I ended up staying home from work today to take care of my little guy. We were worried about dehydration for a bit, but he is doing much better now. He never acted like he felt bad, though! He just has been smiling all day long!!! He's my little trooper.

Some other updates, he is able to sit up so good now! He will just sit in the floor and play with hims toys. He loves his baby food so much! I can't get the spoon back to those little lips fast enough! He just started sitting in his highchair to eat like a big boy! Other than these past few days, he's still sleeping through the night. He wears mostly 6 months clothes and size 2 diapers (although the diapers are getting snug very quickly). He's still such a happy baby and will smile at just about anyone. We're pretty sure he's teething now. He's been SO drooly lately that we go through about 4-5 bibs a day. He just soaks them. He chews on his fingers a lot. Plus when Dr. Bill looked in his mouth he pointed out that his gums were a little swollen like teeth are trying to work their way out. Can't wait to see his big smile with a couple teethies in there! Bathtime still seems like his favorite time of day. He could play in there for an hour if I let him. He just kicks and splashes and smiles like he is having the time of his life! I have to cover up with a big towel if I don't want to be soaking wet at the end of bathtime.My favorite time of day is when I rock that sweet baby to sleep at night. He lays his head down on my shoulder and grunts and whines trying to fight going to sleep before he finally gives in and drifts off. I love to keep rocking him and just love on him before putting him in the bed.  He will always be mommy's baby squishy!!!!

Yummy in my tummy!!!

Park play day after work



Playing outside one morning. He was just
cracking himself up!

This boy amazes me more and more everyday.
I'm so blessed to have such a healthy happy
baby. I will never take that for granted.
Love you squish squish!!!
