Nate is already four and a half months; almost five actually. I am a little behind on my posts. Nate is growing like a weed. At his four month check-up he weighed in at 15lbs. 6oz. and was 25 1/2 inches long. That put him in the 75%tile for his weight and height. He is bigger than both of his brothers at four months of age. Dane believes that he will be our six footer. Dr. Baker said that he looked great and to keep doing whatever it is that we are doing.
At four months of age Nate:
*is not sleeping through the night anymore; well some nights he does, but he wakes up when he rolls on his back in his sleep; he is a tummy sleeper
*is eating cereal mixed with applesauce and pears. We haven't tried any other fruit just yet.
*is starting to take a little bit of juice, but he isn't too sure about it
*is figuring out when you leave the room and he cries
*knows mommy and daddy's voices
*finally takes a bottle well; now I feel comfortable leaving him long periods of time if I have to
*laughs and giggles most of the time unless he is tired and ready for bed
*rolls over both ways; tummy to back and back to tummy
*sucks his thumb religiously and has recruited his big toe as a back-up
