4 years / 4 months

Another birthday means another trip to the doctor for a Well Child Exam. It just so happened that Zoe turned 4 around the same time Jackson hit 4 months, so it was double duty at Dr. Smith's office. The nurse thought I was crazy to schedule the two together, since they both would be getting immunizations that day, until she realized I had to drive in from Fernley. Here are the stats....

Zoe Sofia...
39 Inches Tall, 32 1/2 lbs.

Zoe is all up to date on her immunizations and ready to start Kindergarten in two years. She can spell and write her name. She can even tell you how some people spell it wrong. She knows her address and most of my cell number. She loves to sing and her favorite colors are pink and purple.

Jackson Taylor
11 lbs. 2 oz.
25 inches tall
16 inches head circumference.

I'm happy to report that he is still on the growth curve, just barely, but he is still on there, a first for us. He also has a normal sized head, another first for us.

At four months he is rolling both directions: tummy to back and back to tummy. I think it first started out by accident. He hated his tummy and figured out how to get up on his arms and throw himself over. He then was crying while I was changing his diaper and figured out how to flip back over.

His clothes still don't fit him right, he is too tall for newborn and 0 to 3 months clothing, but too skinny for 3 to 6 month clothing.

He still seems to be my easiest baby. Very happy, content, and easy going. He also continues to be a good sleeper. Especially now that I discovered he likes to sleep on his stomach.

He also loves to laugh. He thinks his big sister is the funniest person around.
