FOUR MONTHS!

That's right! My little bity baby is FOUR MONTHS, actually, at the time of posting this, he's four and a HALF. I haven't posted his four month post yet because the doctor's office was BUSY and couldn't get him in until today.

We found out that he he 14 pounds and 1.5 ounces, 25 1/4 inches long, and his head is 17 inches around. He got two injection vaccines, and another dose of the oral rotavirus vaccine.

He is on target with his milestones, except for reaching out for stuff, but I think that is because big brother hands him everything anyway, so why would he go out of his way to try?

He is in 3-6 month sized clothes now. He's sleeping a bit better... or was, since his 3 month birthday, cutting down his night wakings to once. However, since he got sick last week, we're back to several times a night. Its okay, though, I know he needs his momma and will get back to snoozing soon.

He is another momma's boy. If someone else is holding him, he searches and finds me and gives me a big old grin. It warms my heart so. G0sh, I feel like tearing up just thinking about those special smiles.

I'm marking TODAY as the day of his first tooth. He's had one so close to popping up for about a week, but now we can feel it and see it! It amazes me that he has one already, Colton didn't get his until 8 months old!

Baby boy loves to roll, if I put him on his back on the play mat, he flips right over. He now sleeps on his tummy. He tries to pull himself up to sitting when he's reclining on our laps or in the swing. He stares at his feet, especially when he has bright socks or shoes on. He's still impatient, if he's hungry, you better get moving!

He's really a fun baby. He makes funny noises and loves to smile. Sometimes he has this little sheepish, sly, bashful grin.. oh, it is SO precious! We're already telling MAJOR personality differences between big brother and little brother. I imagine junior high and high school (YIKES) years will be VERY interesting around here!

Doctor said that he can start solids- cereal in the morning, a veggie in the evening. We've had a little bit of cereal with plain applesauce, but not on a regular basis. I guess we'll get started tonight!



Next up this month: COLTON TURNS FOUR! (on the 22nd) I am anxious to see his stats and start his 5th year of life. He's matured so much since his 3rd birthday... but more about him on his SPECIAL day!
