4 months old!

Mason had his 4 month check-up last Thursday. His pediatrician was very pleased with his weight gain and he is very slowly catching up! At 4 months, he weighed 12lbs, 4oz (10th percentile) and was 22 inches long (still less than 3 percentile). His height still isn't on the chart, but I don't know any way to make him grow faster. He is definitely filling out and you'd hardly even notice that he's a little small for his age. It's funny how many people meet him and say 'Wow, he looks like a normal baby'. Of course, he has always been 'normal', but I know what they mean ;-).

A few 4 month stats:

• Sleeping - he continues to be my wonderful sleeper!!! He's up to 8-9 hours at night and then usually sleeps a few more after an early morning bottle
• Eating - 4oz breast milk every 3-4 hours (except at night)
• Napping - still no real progress on regular naps. He naps when and where he wants to. He doesn't get fussy or sleep any less at night, so I'm not too concerned about it yet.
• Development - he's very alert all the time and starting to notice and reach for toys. He smiles and talks a lot (when he's in the mood).
• Still LOVES going out and gets bored easily at home

We got home from errands and I left Mason sleeping in his carseat on the floor for a few minutes. I noticed that Shadow had 'shared' her favorite toy with him (her stuffed bat). Very sweet.
So cute in my Halloween outfit.
