1) Jack has his 4 month appointment today. On Sunday, he will be 18 weeks. On Wednesday, (the 7th) he was 4 months For you math whizes out there, 18 weeks divided by 4 weeks in a month = 4.5 months. This is all very confusing to me. 2 weeks is a long time in the life of a baby. So do I go by weeks or is it time to start going by months when referring to his age? I feel like saying he is 4 months is shorting him one ninth of his life!!!
2) Jack has two, count em TWO teeth! For the record, that is two teeth on a 4 month/18 week old who stands up ALL.THE.TIME and mimics the sounds we make and grabs at things and holds his arms out for us to pick him up and laughs when we tickle his armpits. WHY IS MY SON’S LIFE ON FAST FORWARD?!?!?!
3) Has anyone out there ever had a salty dog? They are pretty much my favorite. Just FYI.
4) We got an awesome dining room table but now we need some chairs to go with it. Some cheap chairs. That still look nice. Suggestions?
5) Jack takes naps on his stomach and sleeps VERY well when he does. But those SIDS people have me so freaked out that I can’t stand to let him sleep on his tummy at night. I don’t get a wink of sleep if I do. So I swaddle him still and he can’t move around when he’s in that thing. But during the day, he sleeps in his clothes and rolls onto his tummy and sleeps like an angel. I, of course, watch his every breath like the neurotic mother I am. His nanny does the same thing. She pulls her rocking chair in his room and watches him and reads a magazine. Have I ever told you how amazing this woman is? We are so SO lucky.
6) John really needs to change our pictures on this blog background. I do NOT look like that anymore and there’s not a single picture of Jackaroo.
7) weekend, weekend, weekend!!! Nobody warned me that it’s not as fun to have a weekend when you are a homeowner and have boring things to do like mow the lawn and clean the gutters. Nevertheless, WEEKEND WEEKEND WEEKEND!!!

Thanks for the updates! I do love reading what is going on there and it allows me to live vicariously...
Randy and Matt, and probably all you McCartney kids slept on your belly....you are all alive...still waiting for pictures of the new digs...love you all
I thought that if a baby could roll, it was safe for them to sleep on their tummy. Is that not the rule?
I also want to know why John and Jack's tweets are on your sidebar, but yours aren't. What's that about?
Chelsea, typically a baby rolls later than Jack, so I think that's where it comes from. at the age Jack is at, he's still at risk...actually anytime during the first year they're still at a higher risk, just less and less as they get older.
And Molly! Jack's getting teeth like Amelia did...tho I think hers started popping out like mad at 5 months, but she teethed all of her 4th month. I told John in email today that at 1 year of age, Jack's gonna be the same size as 3 year old Amelia! haha. (she was still in the 25th and 30th percentile at her 2 y/o check up)
