4 Months

Kaleb is 4 months old! I can hardly believe how fast time is flying... 2 days ago marked 2 years since Scott proposed to me and 1 year from the day we found out we were going to be parents! I'm still pretty sure that hasn't sunk it yet... and Kaleb's been here for 4 months! I wonder when it'll finally hit me?

Kaleb is getting to be so much fun and he is changing so much! He's eating solid foods now, and loves them! He also loves to sneeze right in the middle of a bite, and carrots stain! I've learned to feed him cereal in the morning (they don't have much color, less likely I'll need to change) and to put on my top layer AFTER he eats. Right now that works well, when summer comes and I'm down to fewer layers I'm not sure what I'll do... oh wait, I'll be at home! I can feed him before I get showered and dressed!

He is also starting to play with the millions of toys littering our house, making them seem somewhat useful now! The only problem is, now when I step on or trip over something, I feel compelled to at least rinse it off before Kaleb puts it back in his mouth. He has also learned to grab and pull on the toys hanging from his seats and play things... and many of these things sing! His rocking chair, for instance, sings "If you're happy and you know it" and his little floor gym thingy sings "Twinkle twinkle little star". Good solid children songs... unfortunately they get stuck in your head after you hear them 15 times in a row.

Poor little man went for his 4 month appointment today and got his second round of shots. It's sad to see him get stuck 4 times... but I'm glad it was over quickly and he has 2 more months before he has to have more! They also plotted him on the growth chart and he is apparently going to be tall and thin with a little head. Not sure who he got that from... Scott's got a big head (just picking baby) and I'm certainly not tall and skinny! In all seriousness... the Dr. says he is fine... 4 months & 1 week old, 13 lbs, 25" long, and a 16 1/4" head diameter. That puts him in the 25% for head size, 40% for weight, and 75% for height.

Kaleb is recuperating from his shots by playing with his little gym thing and watching Kung Fu Panda... so I guess I should go join him (with the movie... not the gym... I don't think we'd both fit!). Until next time...
