4 Months and Growing...

Today was the big day... Colton's 4 month well check.  I haven't weighed him since his last visit but everyone wants to know, "how big is he!?"  So here's the scoop:

Weight: 15 lbs., 12 oz (75%)
Height: 24 1/2 inches (45%)
Head Circumference: 42 1/2 centimeters (65%)

He cooed and made goo-goo eyes at Dr. Rachesky all through the exam.  As a matter of fact, things were perfect UNTIL the needles came out. (Or should I say went in.) Colton SCREAMED first and then cried and cried.  To make up for it, I let him take a long nap in the chair with me when we got home.  What a bittersweet snuggle session.

Here's a recent photo that touches my heart of Colton at 4 months of age.  There's nothing like love from Big Sissy!

Four Months

Colton is still just so precious. I will post his stats after he has is four month check up this week.  If I had to guess, he is still holding strong near the 75th percentile for weight.

He seems to be more content and all-around a happier baby these days. He has officially discovered the first two fingers on his hand and loves to suck on them. We are trying to discourage the habit, but he certainly is NOT interested in a pacifier.  He is sitting better but can't quite manage to stay up on his own.  Where his head leans, his body soon follows.  One thing is for sure- Colton loves to smile at anyone who will stop and talk to him.  (I think he is even a little flirty.)  He still only has eyes for his mommy. Well, that's my story and I am sticking to it!
