4 Months Old

Ian is 4 months old today! He had a great check-up with the doctor this morning, and is growing up big and strong right on track. We got a grin in his birthday photo this month (with tongue sticking out of course), but unfortunately he was laughing at Clipper's antics and not the camera.


At 4 months old, Ian:
* weighs 13 pounds 12.6 ounces and is 25 inches tall.
* wears size 3-6 clothing and size 1 diapers.
* eats 5 bottles a day of 6 ounces each.
* sleeps through the night! goes to bed around 8:30pm and wakes up around 7am.
* will start solid foods after Thanksgiving.
* babbles all the time and enjoys making noises, and only cries when he needs something.
* grins and giggles when talked to, or when looking at a dog or interesting toy.
* is much more independent - enjoys playing on the floor with toys for long periods of time.
* is great at standing and sitting with support, and is getting very strong with his back and neck muscles.
