Jackson weighs 6.7kg, or 14lbs 12oz, and will be 4 months old next week! He'll also be having his last round of immunisations until he is a year old.
He can now roll from back to front and back again, and can roll to either side. He enjoys spending time on his tummy, though he sometimes gets frustruated that he can't propel himself forward. He also occasionally gets frustrated in his rocker because he can't pull himself up out of it.
The week the US grandparents were here, he started really laughing at things, and he now smiles not only at people, but at objects and sounds and images (such as the TV!) that give him pleasure.
He can now grasp objects, and loves to be handed toys to play with. Most things, however, end up in his mouth.
At swimmng lessons, as of this week, Jackson was happy to be submerged underwater 5 times. Each week we add another underwater dunk. Today (and last week), Jackson was the only baby who didn't fuss at some point. He seems to love being in water.
On Monday night he slept "through the night," a full 7 hours without waking. He always sleeps well from 8am till about 8pm (sometimes earlier or later), but we're hoping he drops that middle-of-the-night feed soon. His move into the "his" room and the cot is imminent, as is a move to the normal bath soon, to give him more splashing room.
Jackson is also considering living out his mother's dream of being an experimental documentary filmmaker.
