Henry's 4 month check-up was last Thursday. He is nearly 26 inches and 13 lbs! I was so surprised he didn't weigh more, he feels so heavy in my arms now. But the pediatrician said his growth is looking good so we're happy with that. He had another round of vaccines and was a total champ, he freaked out for a minute but I was able to nurse him in the exam room so all was well after that.
This past month (especially the last 2 weeks) has brought tons of new developments with Henry, here's a few things about him him at this stage:
- Started to roll over!
- Loves reaching out and grabbing toys (and sometimes our hands) and putting them in his mouth (especially the wooden rings on the activity mat and the owl/owl book that has lots of different textures)
- The skip hop activity mirror has been the best incentive to get him to roll over, he loves looking at himself and trying to reach the little birds on it
- Getting really good at tummy time, especially post roll over
- Making all sort of new noises and expressions so we have lots of "conversations"
- Very alert and aware of his surroundings and subsequently really distracted when I'm trying to feed him
- Give us really fun giggles
- Sleep has been rough, his little body is so busy all the time it's hard for him to wind down but I'm hopefully things are looking up, his naps are gradually getting longer and he isn't waking up as much at night
