jack: twenty-one weeks old

Here is Jack Lawrence at 21 weeks old…
(June 21, 2012)

We have been busy running around town to look at houses in every spare moment, so we didn’t get the photo project accomplished this week, but the photo above works well because it captured Jack at his 4-month well-baby check up. Remember, Jack goes to his well-baby visits three weeks late since he arrived into the world three weeks early. How cute does he look in his little gown?

Jack’s 4-month stats were:
Weight: 15 pounds (38th %)
Height: 24.41 inches (18th %)
Head: 17.32 inches (83rd %)

Luckily, the doctor said he was growing in proportion, he just has a big head and short legs. Since R couldn’t come to this appointment, I had to be brave this time and hold Jack steady during his shots. He cried loudly in protest.

This week we celebrated Father’s Day! Jack and I surprised R by taking him to Brunch at a rooftop restaurant he’d never heard of in downtown LA called Perch. Finding a place R doesn’t know about in LA is difficult since he grew up here. It was a very cool place, with a view of the city and a Jazz band and he loved it! Here is Jack celebrating with R…

We know Jack loves music, but he was fascinated by the live music. He especially loved watching the saxophone player, whom he watched intently before happily falling asleep…

Jack and I agree that R is the best Dad in all the land!

The final news from this week is that Jack went to meet with one of the top youth agencies in LA and they loved him. He is now represented and ready to audition, work permit and all. I can’t wait to see what baby auditions are like. It will be an adventure, I’m sure.

Just another day of work. Fun!
Will explain later.

we didn’t get it

We did not get the house. It’s going for above list and we can’t compete.

Talk about discouraging. And people say it’s a buyers market.

I guess it’s not in LA.

where we’ve been

Clearly I am behind on my updates about Jack and our weekly happenings…

We’ve been house hunting for a little over a month, which, in LA, is a very time consuming, exhausting and often frustrating and disheartening endeavor, especially with a price range like ours.

I plan to blog about our house hunt until we find ‘Jack’s House’ as we’re calling it.

Tonight, after our boy goes to bed, I plan to write several updates about the past few weeks in our world.

baby star in the making?

We submitted photos of Jack to a kid’s commercial acting agency in hopes he’ll get some baby work. They requested we provide one full-body and one close-up.

Here is his fun-loving diaper centerfold…

And here is his handsome, leading-man close-up…

No matter what his tv commercial future brings, he’ll always be the star of our world!

EDITOR’S NOTE: I live in Los Angeles. Why not take advantage of being here and see if I can make my kid some dough for his future? I do not plan on becoming a Hollywood mom. My child is going to be a doctor like Grandpa Jack and Aunt Erica, of course.
