Boys Keep Swinging

Second week with the nanny Beatrice went well, Jack seemed to enjoy himself over at Jonah's house, and the pickup and drop off seemed to go relatively smoothly. We have attempted to give Jack rice cereal on two occasions but he does not really seem to be interested, we will try again this week but probably won't start any veggies until month 5 so he has plenty of time to adjust. On Friday, he had his 4 month appt - he weighed in at 15 pounds 3 ounces and was 25 inches long - both in the 50th percentile. He is gurgling quite a bit these days, and experimenting with noises including laughing. Apparently he rolled over a second time but of course right when we stepped out of the room.

In Lily land, we had an International Dinner at Lily's school this week in which we sampled many different foods - well Lily had a hot dog - but Mom and Dad sampled some of the fare. Dad made a delicious kugel for the event.

The weekend brought some beautiful warm weather. On Friday, Lily rode her tricycle to the playground while Jack strolled, and the rest of the day was spent playing in the backyard. On Saturday, Lily attended her friend Naomi's birthday party, and then we went on a family bike ride/stroll - Dad pulled Lily in the bike trailer while Mom strolled with Jack - Mom definitely had the easier task! On Sunday, we ran some errands and played in the basement, and had a late day visit from Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis.

Lily and Jack are anxiously awaiting news of their first cousin - Aunt Tracy is 39 weeks 1 day so it could be any day now, we'll keep you posted!

Lily and Jack want to send out birthday hugs and kisses to Grandpa Tom!
