jack: twenty-one weeks old

Here is Jack Lawrence at 21 weeks old…

21 weeks!

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…

first father's day!

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.

He must absolutely have a bath before bed or he won’t sleep as long during the night…

He is our happy baby as long as he’s not being dragged around town to look at houses, which, this week, he had to do a lot, poor peanut.

We think Jack’s expressive nature is hilarious and charming…

This week’s photo shoot finally captured our little goofball…

Jack’s personality continues to delight us! He is sweet, funny, curious, present, thoughtful, sensitive and patient. He is starting to really discover and play with his toys. He likes things to be fresh, new and interesting. He adores music and loves to play with his baby radio…

And when he plays hard, he naps hard…

Sometimes in the middle of lunch and on his Aunt Erin’s lap. (Sometimes being the operative word here, because napping is not always Jack’s strength no matter how much we encourage it).

Maybe he doesn’t nap because he has so much important baby work to do…

just doing some work

Jack is already intrigued by computers and iPhones when they’re around. He’s aching to be able to grab the iPhone and buy Apps.

Jack loves to ride in the Bjorn, especially facing out so he can charm everyone’s socks off with the joie de vivre he emanates. Here he is staying warm with Daddy on a recent foggy visit to Griffith Park Observatory…

My two guys bring me so much joy!
