We Have A 4-Month-Old!
Don't worry, I haven't given up on the blog. I've been completely swamped at work with deadlines on a project that still seems to have no end in sight. I even had overtime this week and still had two days off of work (well, the other day off this week is tomorrow). But enough about me!
Izaak had his 4-month check-up last week and he's doing great! He had another round of immunizations too and took them like a champ! He weighed in at 17lbs, 10oz (89th percentile) and is 27" tall (top of the percentile for his age). Do I really need to tell you that he's busting out of his 3-6 month apparel already?? Luckily, we got a package in the mail today from Grandma and Grandpa that contained some 9-month sized outfits (thanks again!!). And our new favorite store is "Once Upon A Child", by the way. (If you're not familiar, it's a used kid's clothing & accessories store.)
Other sweet news: Izaak has starting eating "real food"! So far, he's had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and squash. There have been a couple of tearful attempts (mostly his tears) but the majority of the time he seems to enjoy the slop by the jarful. We picked out a "space-saver" highchair that attaches to one of our existing chairs at the kitchen table and it seems to be working out really well. He's sleeping a bit better through the night even though we're typically up a couple times a night to do a "binkie-pop" (reinsert binkie into cute, little howling mouth). And we're looking forward to hanging out with Nana and Papa this weekend in Myrtle Beach!!
I've been working on making a photo book for Izaak using Shutterfly.com. It's been a pretty fun project though fairly time consuming. Besides a bunch of pictures of the first couple months of his life, we're also writing him short "we love you" letters. Hopefully, it will be a nice keepsake. Speaking of pictures, I will have to post some later... it's bed-time!

A Note About Pictures...
If you see a photo that you'd like a print of, I'd be happy to either email you the higher resolution file or print out a 4x6 copy and send it to you. The photos are compressed for the internet so the quality isn't as good when printed from the pics I've been posting on the blog :)
By the way... does anyone read this? Nobody ever leaves comments on any of my posts!!
