4 months Old

Another month has passed us by.  Grant you are just the sweetest, easiest baby there ever was.  You are eating 5 6-oz. bottles a day, sleeping through the night, wearing 6 month clothes, size 2 diapers.  You take the paci okay, but you are fine without it too.  You like to chomp on your hands, but not sure if it's a teething sign or just something for you to do.  You will play in the doorway bouncer now, swing and hang out in your bouncy seat.  You HATE tummy time; however I try to make you play a few minutes each day like that.  Tonight you rolled over to your back when I put you down, but never did it again.  You are starting to laugh quite a bit.  You must think mommy is funny.  You really laugh when I put your feet up to your mouth.  You think that is hilarious.  You are so cute and loving still.  You also like to look at yourself in the mirror.  And b/c we keep it real - you spend a whole lot of time in the carseat.  Taking each sister to school, dance, church, etc.  I feel like I am always loading you up in it.   You also had your 1st illness - a nice round of bronchitis with a yucky cough, but you never acted sick one time - if you didn't cough I would have never known anything was different. You will have shots on the 23rd and your check up so we'll record your stats then. 




He's still the smallest baby of the 3 but all relatively the same size.
Stats:  14lbs. 10oz. 50th percentile
           25 inches 50th percentile

and b/c I like to compare with the siblings (from a previous post)... Mallary weighed 14 lbs and 13 oz. I don't believe her height measurement - 26.5 inches...which is well beyond the 95th percentile. She was a little wiggly and mad when they took that measurement so I don't think it's truly accurate. She doesn't appear that long at all. Gracie was 14.15 and 25 and 5/8's at this age.
