4 Weeks Old

Jackson is already four weeks old!  He is really growing.  I thought these fleece lined overalls that I bought in France were so cute. He is positively stuffed into them and they are three month size!  I suspect that we won't be getting much wear out of this outfit.   

At his four week check-up Jackson got a great report.  He's a big healthy boy measuring 24 inches long (>100%) and weighing 10 pounds 6 ounces (70%).  We have moved up from newborn diapers and even six month size clothes are not too big.  The doctor assures me that Jackson will start sleeping through the night eventually.  We are all so very sleep deprived right now that I take comfort in this.  The doctor looks at the rash that cropped up on Jackson last week and tells me it's just baby acne.  Tessa had it too but hers wasn't nearly as bad as Jackson's.  His whole face, neck, chest and shoulders are broken out.  But it doesn't seem to bother him at all. 

 

We went to Tessa's 100 Day Program at school.  Her class combined with another class and they all sang the new songs they had learned.  Music is one of Tessa's passions so it was fun to watch her on stage.  She was excited to have her baby brother in the audience and have a chance to show him off to her friends.
