4 Months Old!

Benjamin is now 4 months old!!  At his 4 month visit he weighed in at 16 lbs even (75 percentile) and was 26.25 inches long (90th percentile).  His head was in the 75th percentile as well, but I do not remember the exact number.  He is growing like a little weed....yes, I said little -- he is smaller than Luke was at this exact same age :)

Benjamin loves his bottles!  He eats 5 times each with each bottle being 7-8 ounces.  He doesn't always drain them, but I wouldn't say that he likes to leave much behind!  He is starting to change over to his 6-9 month sleepers because of his length and is probably within a few weeks from wearing his 6-9 month clothes.  He continues to be a good sleeper.  We put him down between 8-9pm and we wake him up at 6am. 

At 4 months old Benjamin is learning new things every day.  He is really starting to play with his toys more and more.  He loves his little rattle/teether and his crinkle book.  He especially loves his big brother Luke.  He loves to give him kisses (open mouthed and slobbery) and watch him play.  Luke is so sweet and always thinking of Benjamin.  Luke loves to lay with Ben on the blanket and he is always "buying" him new toys from around the house.

Benjamin isn't rolling over yet, but he is definitely trying.  He gets up on his side, but just can't quite figure out what to do with his arm.  Don't worry, I am not showing him what to do with that arm just yet -- I can use a few more weeks (at least) of no rolling over ;)

Benjamin we love you and are thankful to have you as our son.

This photo shoot was not Ben's favorite.  He was kind of cranky and definitely over the camera.
