JC turned 4 months old (on the 12th)!!!! Time is getting away from me sooooo fast!
His 4 month check up was the 24th. He weighed 14 lbs 14 oz (50%tile) and was 25 inches tall (75%tile) and 16 3/4 inches head circumference (65%tile). Maybe he will be tall or at least a little above average on height. :)
Y’all, he is such a happy baby. He is always smiles, unless we aren’t fast enough with his bottle. He really enjoys playing with his toys. He wants to put anything and everything in his mouth. The boy is constantly drooling, but we have yet to see any teeth coming through.
In the past month, he has had his first sickness. He came down with an upper respiratory infection. He was just pitiful. Luckily, I was off for the first few days of him being sick. I would have been a wreck if I had to leave him. But he is much better now. :)
When he turned 4 months old, I started feeding him cereal. He was a little hesitant at first, but loved it! He did so well too! He ate like it was nothing new to him. I’ve never seen a baby catch on to spoon feeding as fast as he did.
When we went to the doctor for his check up, he said we could start on fruits and veggies. He has tried apples, pears, and bananas so far and loved all of them. It was so funny with his first bite. He just held it in his mouth for a few seconds because he noticed the difference in taste (it wasn’t JUST cereal this time!) but quickly realized that this stuff actually had FLAVOR and loved it.
He sometimes tries to grab the spoon from me and put it in his own mouth. I can already tell he is going to be very independent like his sister! Lord help me! Ha!
He is rolling over from tummy to back really well. And apparently he can roll from back to tummy now????? Or maybe he did it by accident??? Tonight while I was putting supper on the table, I put him on his play mat with his toys. Mr. Right made the comment that he was rolling around over there. I guess he rolled from back to tummy, but neither one of us saw him do it… so I guess it doesn’t count yet… ;)
He is starting to sit up the tripod way (hand-hand-bottom).
He was finishing off his juice in the picture below. He will hold the bottle for a few seconds every now and then.
He loves his sister so much. He loves to watch her and see what she is up to. I just hope he doesn’t pick up on some of her mischievousness. ;)
I just can’t get over how quickly he’s growing. In a couple of months, he will be half a year old. It just doesn’t seem right! *TEAR* Oh well… that’s life. Here are some other random photos…
I love that fuzzy little head.
Sweet Pea, JC, and I at their well check up.
I decided to try some styling products in his hair. We used some of my Bed Head Manipulator to make a baby mohawk. It turned out sooooo cute!!
I just can’t get enough of this baby boy!
JC, we love you so much! Stop growing so fast!
