4 Months Old

Our little Carter bug turned 4 months old this past Thursday and we can hardly believe it! Not rolling over yet but maybe soon. He found his hands and can hold toys and put them in his mouth, which is a lot of fun! He loves his blankey and pacifier. He can also put himself to sleep when given both. He still has blue eyes and we are hoping they will stick. It also looks like he has blonde hair coming in and we are excited about that. We took him in for his well baby check up yesterday and here are his stats:

Weight 12.9 oz (25%)

Height 25.5 in (75%)

Carter is still having problems with his bowel movements but other than that, he is perfectly healthy and everything is right on target. He dropped from 50% in weight to 25% so they were concerned that maybe he wasn't getting enough to eat. They asked me how much I got when I pumped for him and told me it was plenty. We were told we could introduce rice cereal but only if we felt like we needed to and we do! I think it will really help. Carter seems to always been hungry! Carter got 4 shots and one oral vaccination and did awesome. He only fussed while it was happening and calmed down as soon as I picked him up. Landon also had to get two shots and he was super brave. It went a lot better than we hoped. What big, strong, cute boys I have!
