Teeth and stuff

Jack is doing awesome! He is always smiling and cooing and talking. He is teething already and he is only 12 weeks old! He is being a tough guy about it and hardly ever fusses even though it must be pretty uncomfortable. The only problem with him teething so early is that he still hasn’t got the hang of putting things in his mouth, so we have to hold his teething toys in his mouth for him. And he drools a lot so his shirts are always wet. But that’s okay because he's cute, so he can mess up all the outfits he wants to. We put him in his little walker/saucer thing and he really likes it. He's still a little too wobbly to be in it without supervision, but he really loves being able to sit up and look around like a big boy. Jack also rolls over on his own already, although he has yet to show me. He only does it for his babysitter, and his dad. He's growing incredibly fast. Every time I come home from work and see him, he looks about 2 pounds bigger. I miss him a lot at work, but his babysitter sends me pics and videos throughout the day, so I can see what he's up to. And what he's up to is always adorable!

Get ready to Rock...

later... hosen

He plans to lead an expedition in the swiss alps sometime next year...

Just doin' what he does.

Jack went to the doctor today and it went great! He weighs a healthy 14 lbs, 15 oz so he has over doubled his birth weight. He is almost 25 inches long and he is in the 90% percentile for his height and weight. He smiled for the doctor a lot, and also peed all over the exam table, which I'm sure is common for baby boys his age. He was an excellent patient!
At home, Jack is a perfect baby. He rarely cries...only when he has to burp…and he smiles at us all the time. He finally managed to figure out how to suck his thumb. He was really struggling with it for a while, and now when he does it, he looks so content. I am very proud of him! His caregivers (my sisters) are in love with him, and he is very well taken care of by people I trust. That really helps me go to work every day without crying my eyes out.
He is changing so fast. I remember when I had 11 weeks left of my pregnancy, it took forever! But the 11 weeks of his life have flown by…we really should post more often because he is changing so fast. We are sorry we missed the family reunion. It sounded like it was a great time….I was looking forward to meeting everyone and introducing the miniature Cody to everyone, but I know there will be plenty more oppurtunities.
Until next time…. Joanne, Jack, and Cody :)
