4 Month Update

Colt is now officially 4 months (as of Friday)...yay! He had his 4 month well check-up today. He is a whopping 16 lbs 13 oz and 26 inches long. He is between the 75th and 90th percentile for height and weight based on his age and in the 50th percentile for weight based on his height. His head circumference still falls in the 25th percentile. I really thought that thing was growing...maybe it is, but not as fast as others. The doc said not to worry about it, which I'm not, I just think it's funny! He doesn't look like he has a pea-head though:)

He got 2 shots today and an oral vaccination. The first shot went very smoothly, then the second was a different story. The nurse said the 2nd burned a little more than the first...and we definitely heard about it. It wasn't that bad though...it was over it in a flash. I hear he had a pretty rough day according to Mrs. Sharon:(

Doc said he was a healthy happy boy and we can start solids now...even though I already started on Sunday night:) He doesn't have to know that though, he just gave me more guidelines. Cereal for a week once a day, then I can start adding fruits or veggies. He said to try one out for three days to determine if he has any food allergies. I can't wait!

What he's doing now:

Eating: 5/6 oz every 3 hours

Sleeping: 8 to 10 hours a night, 2 pretty good naps a day and maybe some cat naps before feedings

Clothes: 3/6 month clothes and 6 month clothes depending on the brand

Diapers: size 2's, but we really need to move up!

Developmental: Colt is definitely getting louder! He loves to talk and be talked to, it will cheer him up in a heartbeat! He started grabbing his feet, getting better at grabbing objects (but still a work in progress), great head control, looks around more and more (sometimes his eyes go everywhere and he doesn't know where to look), starting to "pull up" in a sitting position (will sit in our lap easily with support and in Bumbo), rolling over a little more (both ways, but mostly from back to tummy)

Activities: Loves looking at himself in the mirror, watching his mobile, sucking on his hands, watching Daisy and Gizzy, playing in the jumperoo, going outside, standing up, splashing in bath tub, getting his picture taken (haha)

We have discovered that Colt loves for you to rub your face on his while he's lying down and talk and kiss on him. He just eats it up...and it's sooo sweet, he just "Coo's and Aah's!" But really, what baby wouldn't love that?!?!
