Stats are in ... our little man is 26 1/2" long (95th percentile), 15 lbs & 6 oz (50th percentile) and his head is surprisingly in the 50th percentile at 16 7/8".
As I said before, Jack is teething. He's drooling all over the place, which I have become accustomed to. However, starting Monday, he's had diarrhea. I can't change him fast enough. His doctor pretty much cringed when he saw his raw little tooshie. I feel so bad; Jack's butt hurts. I am under strict orders to let it 'air out' for 15 minutes after each change. So let's cross our fingers he keeps his squirts to himself without his armor. I've had to change crib sheets daily ... and I will say - no one ever told me warned me that changing crib sheets is a royal pain in the ass (excuse me).
happy prior to shots
Jack's doctor took a peek inside his mouth and counted not 1, not 2, not 3, but SIX teeth making their appearance. No wonder poor Jack is unhappy.
We'll start introducing rice cereal to Jack at 5 months. So, I'm looking forward to that. His reaction should be fun.
Jack also got his 4 month round o'shots. I, being the awesome mother that I am, forgot to dose him up with Tylenol prior to his pricks. He screamed like a baby. And I felt bad - as if he wasn't in enough pain from his teeth as it was. So - home we went for a dose of Tylenol, a bottle, an air dry and a nap. Hopefully he'll forgive me by the time he wakes.
tired after the traumatic experience
(look at him cuddling with his spit rag... aw...)

SIX teeth?!?!?! Wow! He is growing up so fast!
What a doll! He is so cute, and so big!! Grace gets her teeth in bunches (4 top and 2 bottom at the same time), and the only good thing I can say about it is that once they all come in, there is a long break before more start coming. At least they get it all at once.
The Neals are early teethers.....but SIX at once?? Holy moley! (I'm thinking the doc must have misread the head size, though....)
What a sweetie!! And 6 teeth...Jack's quite the trooper! :)
