13 weeks old brought his second trip to the vet for vaccinations!
This boy is getting big FAST. Of course, we expected that, but we measure his growth weekly, and he has grown roughly an inch taller. We weigh him weekly, and we have him at almost 44 lbs. Paul joked that he isn't going to be able to hold him to weigh him on the scale much longer...
He is sleeping so much better also. One morning I had to wake him up to eat breakfast (a true rarity, as this boy LOVES to eat his 5 cups of food daily)!
Jack is a little bit of a wimp, however. We knew he was in the snow, who isn't? But in the rain, you have to go outside with him, and even then, I have had to catch him by the collar a few times to keep him from running right back in!
This boy still believes himself to be a lap dog:
We hear this never ends, but secretly I love it!
I brought Jack home a new toy the other day, Paul joked that I finally found a toy that made our boy look small!
All in all, he has been such an amazing addition to our family. Despite being huge, he is a cuddle bug. He surely knows when we need extra love.
Random side note: It feels good to be "mommy" and a new unique way too. Paul will say "you left the room and he just stared at the door, waiting for you to come back. He sure knows who his Mom is!" Call it weird, but it feels nice to be loved/wanted/needed that way. It is different than being a step-parent and I can only imagine it is somewhat closer to how it feels being a natural parent to children. I think I needed that a little more than I thought... :)
