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

Oh Wyatt! You kill me with your cuteness!! I love his sweet little expressions and his big eyes. The paci picture is my favorite. It's fun to see him getting more alert and aware of his world.

Next time I better not be sick when I see him so I can hold him even more! He is such a sweetie pie! By reunion he probably will be eating dirt and getting into everything!

Thanks for all the info and the great pictures. He is so handsome and very adorable, just like his daddy, but he does look like his mommy.
