4 Months


It's hard to believe that it has been 4 months since Jonathan's arrival! (Don't we start every post that way?! :O)

He had his 4 month well-baby check-up this morning... and those dreaded shots! But he did pretty well and sacked out in the car on the way home. He is now 27 inches long and weighs 20 lbs, 4 oz. (which puts him in the 97% for baby's his age). His weight has slowed down a bit - for awhile it seemed he was putting on about a pound a week. He's just gained about one pound since last month.

The doctor was very pleased with his development. He is grasping things (of course, they go straight to his mouth!), smiling, babbling, rolling from his back to his side, and just this week he has starting really giggling and trying to grab his feet.

Here are a few more pics of him from this past month:

Here's Jonathan on his side & arching his back - commonly seen when he's trying to look at the TV. It doesn't seem to matter what direction we turn him - he can always find it!

This was his first time in his high chair, sitting at the table while we ate dinner... he loved it! We've just started putting him in it when we eat now because he likes to be right up there with us.
