After our doctor's appointment last Thursday, we discovered that Jack is in the 95th percentile for height. He clearly got every inch of that from me. ;) He's 11 pounds (I know, I know...sounds monstrous, but it's normal!) and 23 inches.
He's starting to smile more and he's awake a lot during the day. The doctor told me that I need to start keeping him awake during the day so he will sleep longer at night now that he's reached a month old. Sadly for me that means less time getting stuff done, but on the same note he loves being read to, which is really fun for me also. We have lots of time together on our tummies and our backs making each other smile. We are the funniest people we know.
Friday we took a trip to Ben's school. All of the teachers in his English department spent time talking about how cute Jack is. I swear Jack's head grew by the second. He was spoiled with attention from all of those ladies. We'll have to make more lunch trips before the year is over!
I brought him to school to meet my students and they were all so excited to see him. He stayed awake and didn't cry when a whole mess of third graders crowded around him. I don't think I could've managed to hold back tears if I was him! I had to laugh because when Jack opened his mouth, one student shouted, "Oh my gosh he doesn't have TEETH?" Funny what they don't know at 9 years old. Another student said, "Mrs. Reinhardt, I don't believe that coffee makes you short because you drank coffee when Jack was in your tummy and look how long he is!" I sure miss those kids.
Oh and by the way, this whole post is dedicated to Betsy. I know she is a faithful reader and always appreciates my stories about my third graders. :)
