4 months old

Wyatt turned 4 months old while we were in Texas (that trip to be posted soon). We visited the doctor when we got home and got his stats:

Height: 26 3/4 inches - 92nd percentile
Weight: 16 pounds 6 ounces - 75th percentile
Head: 17 inches - 70th percentile

Frankly I thought he'd be bigger at the rate he was growing when he was younger but I think he's just getting taller instead of chunkier. Doctor said we could start some rice cereal and it has helped him get back to his 10-12 hours of sleep at night.  For a while there he started waking up at 2 or 3am thinking it was time to play and eat.

What he's been up to:
- eating 2-3 fingers at a time
- reaching out for toys while on his belly
- rolling from stomach to back a lot, not quite from back to stomach yet
- scooting with his toes while on his belly
- eating rice cereal mixed with carrots, peas, or sweet potatos
- staring at and following around whoever is in the room with him
- watching baby Einstein on youtube, giving me 30 minutes to do whatever
- eyes changing to green/brown
- giving the biggest smile and belly laughs
- has all the signs of teething (drooling, biting bottom lip, biting everything in sight) but no teeth
