I can't believe it's already been four months since sweet Ryan arrived. He is the happiest, most smiley baby I know (granted, I'm a bit biased). He is such a good and easy baby. We went to his 4 month check-up today and he weighs a whopping 12 lbs 14 oz, which puts him in the 15%. He is also 24 1/4 inches, which means he is also pretty short - in the 25%. I'm afraid he is not destined to be the next star in the NBA. I checked Tyler's records when I got home today and Tyler weighed 12 lbs 11 oz at his 2 month appointment and 14 lbs 11 oz at his 4 month appointment and was a full inch taller at both appointments. I think I am going to have one little guy on my hands!
*Tyler is such a great Big Brother!Tyler is usually so sweet and thoughtful towards Ryan. He is great at alerting me when Ryan has woken up and is a great binky finder. Today, when Ryan got his shots and was crying in the car afterwards, Tyler kept telling him, "That's ok Baby Bry. (he's still a little confused on Ryan's name) Now you won't get sick." Then, as we drove past McDonald's, Tyler told me that Baby Ryan needed a happy meal. I'm not sure if his motive was pure. :)
*Playing Outside
Tyler has been loving the nicer weather, and I love having a gate on my deck so he can go out and play while I get stuff done. He also loves to ride his tricycle down to the park and I'm getting much better at balancing Ryan in the bjorn and pushing Tyler on his trike once he gets too tired/lazy to do it himself. Also, now that it's a bit warmer at night, James has been taking Tyler in the jog stroller when he goes running, which is a great break for all of us.
*Lounging AroundWe have also just been spending a lot of time at home lately. Usually in the mornings, I pack the boys up and we all go to the gym. They have a fabulous child care facility there and it's really affordable. The girls that watch the kids are so cute and nice; I really couldn't ask for anything better. Tyler loves it there and often asks me if we can go back in the afternoon. We usually spend the rest of the day at home. A lot of my life revolves around who is asleep and who is awake, but that's just fine with me. At least they are both napping!
Tyler has also discovered that there are movies at the library that you can borrow (if you know Tyler, you know how much he loves his shows!). This has been a good and bad thing - he wants to go to the library just about every day, and while we do borrow quite a few books and we are reading a lot more lately, he also has a lot more shows to pick from now. He also knows that we can only have them for a few days and has perfected the excuse that we have to take them back soon so can he watch it just one more time. I hate to admit it, but I usually give in. LOL!

Lisa, I can't believe how much Ryan has grown in the past few weeks!! He is just adorable and such a Jacobs boy!! There is no mistaking who his father is or what side of the family is getting those dominant genes :) I am so excited to see you in a few more weeks.
cute boys! nice that they love the gym. my kids would never go w/out a crying fit, so i ended up cancelling my membership.
yes, hard not to give into requests to watch shows.
I can't WAIT to see you guys this July.
How in the world did you get Ryan to put his hands in his pockets when he's sitting on James' lap...that's adorable.
Your boys are so cute Lisa! Tyler is such a sweet big brother. Love the picture of him hugging Ryan!
Your boys are so cute and getting so big. I can't believe Ryan is four months. That's so funny, I don't know what it is with the second being smaller. Zach was always in the 75% or higher and Connor has always been around the 15%. He had his nine month checkup yesterday and he weighs what Zach weighed at six months. He was only in the 5% for weight this time. I promise I do feed him, he is just a little guy too. Tyler is such a cute big brother and is very proud of his baby every time I talk to him.
