the big transformation

four months
17 lbs, 2 oz and 24 inches
90th (!) percentile for weight
25th percentile for height

This gorgeous guy had his four month well baby check up today and it was boys only as Daddy took little bitsy to the doctor all by himself. (I wonder if we can still call him little bitsy after this weigh-in.) While I was sorry to miss the appointment, I wasn't sorry to miss the round of shots. It hurts my heart to think about those.

For those who are counting, Jack is up about 5 pounds since his 2 month appointment and has grown a whopping fourth of an inch. So at 2 months he was tall and skinny like Daddy and now he's short and fat like me! The truth is I find this growth reassuring. He's definitely getting enough of what he needs to thrive.

We're going to wait a little while longer for solids, given that he seems to be getting plenty of calories.

In fact, one might even call him:

move over, chas tenenbaum...


We had an unexpected cold snap this weekend. So it was time to break out the matching puma tracksuits. (Jack's was a gift from my friend Katie. She said it reminded her of Richard for some reason. I couldn't figure it out but when I brought it home from the shower and mentioned it to Rich, he immediately said, "oh it's so cool. like The Royal Tenenbaums." Richard got his matching tracksuit for Valentine's Day.)

We were the ONLY people on the Hike and Bike Trail. It seemed pretty nippy, but Jack fell asleep right away and so we persevered so that he could have a full nap. Turns out that the windchill was in the 20s. Oops.

Jack: "i didn't think things would get all matchy-matchy until i had a sibling!"

as if one job weren't enough for a baby...

A photo essay to celebrate Jack's first visit to school:

Jack is operating on the assumption that good things also happen to
people who try to hide.

Is that a Jack in my cubby hole?

Daddy, I'm just a little bit emotional about your brilliance.

Jack remains in awe of the word wall.

all in all, the little mr. stafford looks forward to kindergarten even more now.
