*He weighs 18.3 pounds and is wearing 9 to 12 month clothing! People always do a double take when I inform them he is only 4 months. He's a beast.
*He LOVES I mean LOVES his sister. She walks in the room and he laughs or smiles. She can do anything to make him laugh. And Allie loves him. She loves to rub his face and make silly faces at him.. its too cute.
*He is a DROOLING machine. From the time he came out of my womb he drooled. I always wondered why moms had bibs on there kids all the time cause Allie rarely drooled... now I understand.
*He loves people. He can be held or played with by anyone (the joy of traveling a lot)
*He still loves to be swaddled when he sleeps.
*He has rolled over a couple times
*He loves tummy time
In the four months he has been alive he has:
*Been to 6 states.
*Been in 8 different "homes"
*Been 'on the road' for 13 out of 19 weeks hes been alive.
*Been in 2 countries
Needless to say he doesn't have a 'normal' right now and I am anxious to get to that 'normal' soon.
For the last month or so he has started to wake up at night. Being in so many different homes and being in my room his whole life it is hard to let him cry at night, cause I don't want to wake anyone up. So unfortunately I have trained him to wake up at night and assume he gets to eat. So he may not be happy once he gets his own room at our new house where he can fuss and cry a little bit... but this mom will be happy :)
He is a sweet little man. I am blessed to have two healthy kiddos. Although there are days that my patience is tested. and nights that are hard and I want to scream. I am thankful that their bodies are strong and healthy. I'm excited to see what kind of personality this little man has as he gets bigger.

Oh so good to read about Jake. Man! He IS big! And yes, the drooling... I was so glad once we got past that phase with Bella. Trav and I once counted - we had 54 bibs that we would use through a whole week!!
Bella saw the picture of your family and named them all: Allie, baby Jake, and you and Rob were "Mama-Mo" and "KaEe." I tried to get her to say your names, but no. I guess you were her second Mama. :-)
Love reading more about your life...
