We have been enjoying the summer with many fun things happening.  Jack is growing by the minute!  He was 15 lbs 14 oz at his 4 mo check-up and he is in the 75%.......so Jack is on a little bit of a diet!  Not by his choice!  Ha ha!  We have managed to spread out the time intervals between feedings to 3 hours instead of two!  Yep, that's right.....this boy was eating 5 ounces every 2 hours and still getting up during the night for feedings!  Well the rug was pulled out for this little guy!  Veggies are now in his diet and he is doing great with his sweet peas, green beans and sweet potatoes!  Last week we stopped giving him his bottle at night and only offered paci and he was also moved into his own room and crib all at the same time!  First night he cried for 20 minutes and that was it!  Second night he took the paci and back to sleep!  WOW!!!  That was easy!  Now if he wakes up it is only for his paci and he is back to sleep!  He has even gotten so good we are starting to lay him in his crib still awake and letting him put himself to sleep.  No fussing and after about 5 minutes he is sweet dreaming!!!!  We are enjoying him so much and love watching him develop into all his new baby stages.  This is a whole new journey and we are blessed to have both children in our lives!  Maddy is doing great with PT and OT this summer.  Grandpa and Maddy head into Sugarland on Thursday's and enjoy their mornings out.  She is also doing Aquatic Therapy on Monday's, Hippo therapy on Tuesday's and lots of home therapy during the week with Nana! 
We enjoyed the fourth of July with a visit from my brother and sister-in-law!  We rented a place on Lake Travis and enjoyed our stay at The Hollows so much we plan to return soon!  Lots of swimming, boating and enjoying wine on our patio with the spectacular view!  Thanks for coming to visit Mike and Jamie!  We enjoyed it so much!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much a we are!  Stay cool!!!!!
