4 Months Old

Little guy is 4 months old now. We had his 4 month check up and here's the stats... weight: 15.6 lbs (60%) and height: 25 1/2" (75%). I thought for sure he was going to be 16 pounds, but close enough. His long, dark baby hair that he was born with is almost gone. There is a small section at the back base of his skull that is still really long. Its a little too mullett-ish for me and I may have to clean it up with some scissors. I know its wrong, but no child of mine is going to have a mullett! He has fuzzy light hair coming in all over. Im so curious to see what color it will be. Im thinking sandy blonde/light brown.

He is falling right into place in all developmental categories. He is rolling over all of the time now, i.e. crib, activity mat, tries to in his bath tub. He's a busy guy. When we go in his nursery to wake him up, his feet are where his head was. He spins all the way around at some point in the night, chasing his thumb I'm sure. He's chatting up a storm and making new noises every day.

We tried rice cereal for the first time. I've been waiting in excitement for this moment for a while. I thought he was ready because he stares you down while you eat. I don't know what I expected, it's not like he was going to jump out of his Bumbo seat and hug and thank me for finally giving him something other than formula or breastmilk. But, I didn't expect it to go so bad. He was more interested in eating the spoon than having cereal. About a minute into it he was in a full blown cry. My guess is he was pissed he wasn't getting food fast enough. Oh well, we'll try again in a few days. I'll keep you posted.

In other developments, he is so close to grabbing his feet. I seriously cannot wait for that day. I have a feeling it will be a good day in Grady's book.

This weekend he will be Baptized. I'm sure we'll have some stories to share, and pictures for sure!

XOXO,
