4 Months!

Time is seriously flying. I can't believe Jack is 4 months, that is 1/3 of a year! It's crazy how much I already forget, I swear they go from this immobile helpless person to a moving baby so fast!

Here is what Mr. Man (my lame nickname for Jack) is up to these days:

-has rolled a few times front to back and once back to front. He lays on his side when he sleeps and my most favorite time of day with him is after his morning feeding when he comes and lays with me. He rolls over grabs my hands and just smiles. I love it. I used to do this with Gia too and I know now how fast this snuggle time goes so I savor every second!!!
-is sitting up when I hold him so well. Can sit a little on his own but he falls over pretty quick.
-grabbing at EVERYTHING! If you are holding him with something in your hand, forget it. Same goes for his playmat time, he destroys his toys lol.
-loves to LAUGH! he has the most adorable belly laugh when I tickle him. He is so chubby it's like torturing a little fat kid lol.
-his smile just brightens my whole day. he is so loveable!
-basically i am squeezing him into his 3-6 month clothes lol. he is in 6-12 or 6-9 pj's and stuff now. wearing size 2 diapers but only till i run out of the ones we have!
-had his appointment today, he is 17.6 pounds (85th percentile) and 26 3/4 inches (95th percentile). He is a beast!

We love you Jack! Especially Gia, I love seeing your relationship :)

last day in ocean city!

Our rental goes from saturday to saturday down in OCNJ but we decided to leave friday just because everyone leaves so early on saturday morning and it's too much rushing around with 2 young kids. unfortunately when we woke up friday it was POURING so everyone decided to leave. The day before we had taken our annual family pics... I am a dork and dressed everyone in kinda matching outfits. HA oh well, it was cute :) i am waiting for my sister in law to send the better pics that she took but here are pics of our last day!

Such a fun, yet super busy, week with the fam. Next year should really be a blast with the kids, Jack will be 16 months and able to really play and have fun.

Ocean City continued....

The week was SO hot! One day was close to 100 degrees and we really wanted to check out the Cape May Zoo. I figured it would be best to get there early before it got too hot, yeah right. It was sweltering. We were in and out in under an hour. I was seriously worried Jack was gonna get heat stroke or something. But we saw some really cool giraffes and zebras... check it out!

 Dada carrying G, she was so hot

 Cheetahs, Gia was cracking me up telling them to CHEESE lol

Ostrich

 GIRAFFES!

 I was obsessed with them! The way they had the exhibit set up was really great, you had such good views. I had my zoom lens with me so I got some pretty cool shots.

 Poor girl was so hot. I filled up her sippy with gatorade so she didn't get too dehydrated!
