Jack in the Box
I can't believe Jack is a 1/2 year old. He is growing up so fast! He has started doing some funny things lately. He loves to make kissy or pouty lips.
It makes me laugh every time he does it, too. He also started this giggle type laugh today. He started doing it right after he got his shots at the doctor.
I almost forgot. Here are his stats today. He weighed 21 lbs. 5 oz. which is in the 95th percentile. He was 27 1/4 inches tall which is between the 75th and 90th percentiles. He is a BIG boy just like his brother was at his age.
I am really started to get sad because he is growing out of the baby stage so fast. He is my last baby, and I don't want him to grow up so fast.
Some other things that have happened this week....
I stayed home with Jack on Monday because we got no sleep Sunday night. He was up most of the night with the croup cough. I started him on the Prednisone first thing Monday morning.
On Tuesday both kids went to school, but I had a call from the daycare by 10:00. Trent was acting really funny. His face was bright red, and he was nearly passing out. The teachers kept having to catch him before he fell out of his chair. They said he was glassy eyed too. Matt went straight to the daycare, picked Trent up, and headed to Dr. Ellis. The verdict was that Trent was coming down from being on the Prednisone, and he was exhausted from not sleeping well. He seemed fine by the time I got home from school on Tuesday.
Wednesday - Jack woke up at about 5:15. I looked outside to see rain. I got in the shower and gave Jack to Matt. When I got out of the shower, the snow had started. I had Jack dressed, Trent was started to get dressed, and I was beginning to put my makeup on when they announced Shelby County Schools were taking a snow day. I became a "woo" girl right then and there. It wsa so nice to have a day at home in my sweatsuit. Overall, the kids were pretty good. Jack was still feeling bad though.
Thursday - Back to school. I had a pretty good day. I had to rush out at 3:10 in order to pick up the kids and get to Dr. Ellis's office by 4:00. I signed in at 3:57. Jack had a good check up. Dr. Ellis did prescribe a medicine to help with his congestion. Jack also got 3 shots.
I am excited that tomorrow is Fun Friday. That means I get to wear jeans to work. One of the departments at school makes a huge buffet breakfast for everyone. I love Fun Fridays!
I hope to update a little more often now. Sorry that I am such a slacker!!!
I am glad to see Jack's stats where they are. He is sooo cute by the way! Henry will be 5 months on Feb 2 and at his 4 month check-up he weighed 18 lbs and has been in the 95% or above on every visit we have had to the Dr. My ped. suggested he might be eating too much even though I don't really think so. How many bottles/ounces is Jack taking a day? How many times is be eating solids? I am just curious so I can compare and see if maybe he is eating too much. I think they are both adorable and look perfectly healthy to me. Thanks!

Shannon,
ReplyDeleteJack usually had five 6 oz. bottles a day. He eats rice cereal with 1/2 container of fruit twice a day, and he just in the last week started eating a 1/2 container of veggies at night. Jack's doctor told me to start feeding him 3 meals a day with meats too. Trent was always in the 95th percentile too. I wouldn't worry about it. Henry looks adorable to me. Did you know Jack's middle name is Henry? :)
Thanks for the help. Henry does take 8 oz in each bottle but takes only four a day with solids at dinner. I am considering adding food at breakfast and that will probably replace the bottle first thing in the morning. It looks to me that they are pretty close to the same and they are doing great. I didn't know that was his middle name, I love it! Henry is Henry James, great taste! Thanks again,
