4 months

Little guy is 4 months and growing like a weed. He seems to get noticeably bigger every few days and he just looks different in the face about every week. Since Erin now changes so slowly, I forget how quickly infants really do grow.

We took him to his check-up today. Got the go-ahead on starting him on rice cereal. I gave him some this afternoon, and after a few faces of what the heck is this, mom, he started to like it. In about a week maybe we'll do something more interesting like bananas.

Here are the four month highlights:

• weighs 15 lbs. 6 oz. (60th percentile)
• 24 inches tall
  
• wearing 6 to 9 month clothes (and some 12 month)
• comfortably fits in size 3 disposable diaper (for 16 to 28 pound babies) and is in the medium cloth diapers
• 100% on formula and needs the name brand for his sensitive stomach (he's already trying to make mommy & daddy broke)
• nighttime sleep is usually around 12 hours, waking once or twice to eat
• smiles all the time
• LOVES his sister...lights up when she's around
• is just starting to grab at objects in front of him
• starting to roll over on his own
• only cries to tell us he's hungry or tired
