Happy Birthday to Jack

It's Jack's one-month birthday today. I'm sure for everyone else it feels like it's flown by. For me, it feels like it's been 4 months already!
We saw the pediatrician today and our giant :) is in the 90th % for his head size, 95% for his length and 90% for his weight. So, he's doing well. When she was checking his belly he was smiling so big! I guess he's a little ticklish too!

Cookie monster milker

I tell Pete that Jack eats like the cookie monster. He's gulping down the milk, but it sure looks like more is coming out than going in. My nursing set up is ridiculous: first there is the bath towel which serves as a drop cloth. Next comes the Boppy covered with a hand towel to keep the Boppy from being drenched. Then we have the burp cloth tucked around his dripping mouth!! I'm always so hot when I'm feeding him! :)
But, as much as comes out there must be some staying in. I actually dressed him yesterday and I had quite the time getting his newborn onesie to fit. I had to stretch it length-wise. He is way to tall for it! I guess it's a good thing I never worry about dressing him because I'm in need of some bigger white onesies! He'll just have to stay naked until I can get some more!

Yahoo for big smiles! It makes mommy's day!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Couldn't you just eat him up!?

Daddy loves sleeping with his new bud!

Our gifted peanut

We had a pediatrician visit this week and came out proud parents! She said that Jack was doing things (bringing his hands to his center - whatever that means, and focusing) like a 4-6 week old. He's as long as a 6-week old and weighing in closer to a 4 -weeker. He was 10 lbs! She asked if I was sure he wasn't older than 2 weeks and said he was very "skilled."
We're so proud of Jack for putting on a good show (even if the Doctor tells everyone that!)

Enjoy a few more pics!
