So Big

Jasper continues to grow ... and grow out of his clothes. For the most part we've moved on to 3-6 month clothing, and even some of those are too small. I couldn't tell you how much he weighs right now, but we'd guess somewhere around 12 lbs.

Here he is in the outfit from Auntie Brittany and cousins Linnea and Karin. It has a little extra room in it, so we'll get repeat wear out of it - but I don't think it will last until he's 6 months, not at this rate of growth. :)

This outfit was from Auntie Lindsay. It has some extra room for Jasper to keep on growing! This outfit Drew & I bought on a whim as we raced through Target one afternoon between Christmas and New Years. It's super cute with a dump truck on the front. It's a 3M outfit (since he was growing out of & running out of newborn sleep & play outfits), but it's already too short! Jasper's feet are squished into the enclosed legs, so we opened up the legs and gave him a little room to stretch out. We put socks on him since it's chilly today (around 30 degrees - not that we've been outside). So ... this sleep & play outfit is being retired already.

I've been reading about developmental milestones today, checking off the ones he can do already. He's started smiling at us, as of the end of last week. It's a trip! He even gets out little partial laughs. They are the beginning of what will become full laughs later. I can't wait for that day. In addition, his neck is growing stronger each day. He can hold his head better, so we tried the wonder seat tonight. I don't know what it's called generically, but these nifty seats (a gift from Drew's Aunt Shelley, Uncle Pat and cousins Patrick & Lance) allow kids to sit upright before they're able to on their own. He just has to develop full neck control before he can use it. We're not quite there yet.
