4 Months Old


Wes turned 4 months a week ago, but we had his 4 months doctor's appointment today. Everything looks great and he is healthy as can be. I was a little surprised that his weight was only in the 40 percentile, he seemed like he was way heavier than that, but of course I don't have any other babies to compare him to! He must have a really good metabolism cuz he eats like a champ. He is still very tall, up in the 90 percentile and his head is up there:), in the 75 percentile. We love our little guy. This is what he's been up to:

* He loves to check out his environment. First thing in the morning his head is everywhere checking everything out in whatever room he is in. He is very observant and curious, especially when he is in a new place.
* He smiles so much now and gets so excited when you talk fast, stick your tongue out, or sing to him. He thinks it's so funny. He loves to watch people talk.
* He is a strong little guy. He loves to stand on your lap or sit with assistance. He doesn't love to lay down as much.
* He isn't a huge fan of "tummy time" all the sudden. He holds his head up great, but he gets super frustrated cuz he can't move.
* He hasn't rolled over yet, but he's getting close!
* He can grab toys and things (especially my hair)
* He discovered his feet and likes to hold them both while laying down. He attempts to reach them to his mouth but hasn't gotten them there quite yet:)
* He's sleeping well, about 8 hr stretches a night. He also likes to sleep on his side with his legs in an 'L' shape, it's so weird, it
makes us laugh.
* He's not so great with napping.
* He loves his binkie.
* He is getting so handsome and his personality is showing more and more everyday.


We love him so much, Happy 4 months Weston!
