4 Months Old

Colt is 4 months old already!!! I really can't believe it but I'm loving it!
25 inches long-50%
16 lbs. 7 oz.-75-90%
41 3/4 cm-25-50% (head)
3-number of rolls on thighs!
He's getting big quickly and I can't imagine how big he'd be if he didn't spit up everything he ate!
This was the mat I measured him on two months ago. Missed a month in between.
Looking at his book.
Our first attempt at baby food. He does not like it. We gave it a few days and tried again. We have even tried apples and bananas and he still looks at me like I am poisoning him.
Some smiles from our little guy. He's getting big and old. I can't believe he is 4 1/2 months already! He is such a good boy and I love him to pieces.
What I'm like: I love to watch my sisters. I am always trying to see them and smile at them as soon as I do. I love chewing on burb cloths, bibs, and my fingers but not on toys. I am still pretty camera shy. I love being bounced ant rolled. I can roll pretty good from my front to back and I love to talk and screech. I love my mommy so much I need to see her at least two times a night still! I am a happy boy!
Big boy hanging out on the couch with Rae.
Rachel didn't want her picture taken.
Livy pretending not to want her picture taken!

We are at that age when naps are no longer a given. They go upstairs every day but some days they keep coming down and no nap gets taken. This is becoming a familiar scene at our house around 4:30. This day I only left them for a few minutes to take a shower, yes at 4:30. And these were kids who never did this, who never napped in random places, only in bed. I couldn't even get them to nap on me at church after they were a few months old. The other day Rachel fell asleep and Livy stayed up with me. Livy went and got a blanket to put on Rachel and gave her a kiss. She's such a sweetie.
Olivia trying to write her name. Not bad for a barely three year old. I told her which letters to write and she did it by herself. She is eager to do it while Rachel has no interest in writing letters yet. Things here are going great. I definately have rough days but things are good. Hope things are good by you too!

Love that chunky monkey! He & McKay are almost right along together on the scale. :) He was 17 pounds at his 4 month appointment. Gotta love chunky babies... they are the best!
Also, I am very impressed with Olivia (and you for teaching her) with writing her name! We are so not there yet and S & K are 4! Way to go! Want to teach my kids?! :)
