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!
