4 months!


Wow, has it really been 4 months already?  He had his 4 month checkup today; here are his stats:

Weight: 19.6 lbs (99%)
Length: 26 in (83%)
Head Circumference: 16.8 in (55%) 

He is DEFINITELY a chunk.  But we sure love him.  The doc gave us clearance to start him on solid foods; I think we might give them a try and see how he does.  He sure is a trooper; he cried when the nurse first gave him his shots, but then he was pretty okay.  And now he's asleep.  Hopefully he'll sleep them off like he did last time.  =)

In the past month he has:
  • Started to bat at objects around him, whether it's the toys dangling from his gym, the box with the diaper supplies, or our faces.
  • Started to stand up a lot more.  He has fun in his jump-a-roo for short periods of time (and then he wants out pronto haha)
  • Gotten so close to rolling over!  Although he gets the closest when he's in the tub, which isn't exactly the ideal place for him to roll over.
  • When we're in the car and go under an overpass, his eyes get really big while we're under it and then return to normal once we're in the sunlight again.  It's so cute!
  • started to re-grow hair!  It's now 1/2-3/4 inch long and super fluffy!  If we don't put lotion on his head, his hair totally sticks straight up in back.
  • His tongue does this super cute quivering thing.
  • Started scooting while on his back.  He started by going around in circles; I think he did this by lifting up his legs and then not quite putting them back down in the same place.  Now he scoots backwards; he kicks his legs and sometimes connects with the floor to push himself backwards.
I'm sure there's more, but my poor brain can't think of them at the moment.  =)

 Now, for you additional viewing pleasure, another picture of the sweet boy.
