David's four month appointment

So we had David's four month appointment on September 3rd, 2010. It was a little late (but the soonest we could get him in). His head circumference was 16 3/4" at the 45%, his weight was 17.6lbs at the 83%, and his length was 26" at the 75%. He is just growing so fast I can't believe it. He had his shots and he was such a champ at them. He cried just a little bit when he got them but as soon as they were done (I planned on nursing him), I picked him up and he snuggled into my neck and shoulder and he passed out! I didn't even have a chance to nurse him. I am so proud of him :) We got many compliments at our appointment. I was told I looked like a very confident first time mommy :) So great to hear things like that! David was told he looked very healthy! They really didn't even mention giving him food yet! Thank goodness, because we just aren't ready! We aren't planning on starting for awhile. He is doing GREAT on just breastmilk alone!

David isn't quite sitting up yet on his own, although he does sit up supported. He likes to sit on us while we read books, watch tv, while mom and dad eat, and sometimes just because. He rolls over from his back to his belly in seconds (I turn my head after taking his diaper off and he is on his belly pushed up on his arms looking at me). He doesn't really care to go back to his back but no worries there. He is so ready to crawl (probably why he prefers to be on his belly). He is really trying he pushes himself up on his arms and can even get his legs up under him. He scoot himself across the ground a little at a time. Soon (before we are ready of course) he will be crawling. He talks and laughs ALL the time! He thinks so many things we do are funny. He plays hide and seek with us (we put a blanket or a hat over his head). He is a GREAT helper! He sits on mom and dad's bed while mom puts laundry away and every time a piece of clothing is thrown by him he laughs hysterically. He still loves his naked time in the mornings he gets (he is extremely happy during this time). He watches Sprout TV throughout the day and he is actually interested in it. He does so much better now at time by himself. This is nice because I can actually get some cleaning done, laundry done, some reading, and some of D's word cards. He goes running with me in the mornings and he LOVES it! He is more a fan of running than walking though. Sometimes when we walk he gets antsy but when we run he relaxes and falls asleep. He LOVES his bath time! Well he just LOVES water in general :) He loves when we take him swimming. When his Dad walks in and talks D's head turns right towards him and he smiles :) It is the greatest thing! He sits at the table with us while we eat some times in his highchair and plays with his toys. He is such a big boy already! Can't believe how fast my baby is growing!
