Four Months Old!

June 1st marked both our 6 year anniversary and Henry turning 4 months old! He just had his 4 month check up and weighed in at 11 pounds 4 ounces and 23.75 inches long! His length has moved up to the 14th percentile while his weight is still in the 1st. (Guess he'll just be long and skinny for now.) The doctor was very happy with his gain and cheerfully pointed out that he looks like a baby now and no longer like a premie!

Henry's new favorite things are:

• Smiling a ton!
• Chewing on his hands non-stop (both at once if he can get them in there!)
• Cooing and talking, he always has something to tell us.
• Playing in his Kick and Play! He still kicks everyday about the equivalent of running a few miles!
• He just started to giggle and laugh and thinks it's hysterical when we dab his chin to wipe off drool.
• He loves to play pat-a-cake, the clapping and rolling is his favorite part.
• Starting to get pretty good at sitting up (with a little help) and will happily sit and play in his Bébépod chair while we eat.
• Just started rolling over, but hasn't figured out how to do it on purpose yet and HATES it when we put him on his tummy to encourage him.
• He's a pro at picking up his toys and putting them in his mouth. He love's Samson, his blankey giraffe/hippo/cow (we can't decide what it is), and also his crinkly frog.
• He loves to lay next to dozing daddy while mommy gets ready for work, and watch the ceiling fan while he kicks and plays.

Hahn was trying to teach him how to hold his finger up and make a 'shooshing' sound, but with no luck.


Full of giggles!
