Colton, 4 Months

Colton turned 4 months yesterday.  Here is what he's up to now:

• He weighs 14 lbs 8 oz, which puts him right in the 50%
• He's 26 1/4 inches long, which puts him above the 90%

• He loves to reach and grab toys.  He is very entertained by the same lights and sounds toy that the girls loved.  I've also, in a desperate attempt to keep him happy in the car, bought him a little toy bar that hangs in his car seat.  He seems to love that, he no longer crys the entire time he's in the car seat.
• He's not even close to rolling over.  He doesn't arch his back, roll onto his side or anything.  Oh well, he'll get there eventually.
• He usually takes one good nap a day, the rest of the time, it's just 30 minutes here and there.
• He smiles, and laughs alot.  He is very ticklish, and enjoys when Abby sings a little song to him.
• He loves to be held. All the time.  I think one of my arms is much stronger then the other from carting him around all day.  I've also learned how to do a lot of things, using just one arm.
• He's still wakes up once in the night to eat.  I'm anxious for him to start sleeping through the night :)





Pretty much the face he made after every bite.  And yes, he is sitting in a purple Bumbo :)  And yes, that bib is larger than he is :)

• We fed him some rice cereal yesterday for the first time.  He made a lot of funny faces, and might have swallowed one spoonful.  I'm gonna keep trying though, I'm hoping that once he starts on solids, I can transition back to regular formula instead of this awful thickened formula.

He is a sweet little guy, and we are all enjoying watching him grow and learn.
