How time flies! I can not believe that my baby boy is already 4 months. I no longer refer to his age by weeks anymore :( Here are a few stats about him at this wonderful age:Age: 4 months
Weight: 16.2 pounds (72 percentile) and feels every bit of it!
Height: 27.5 inches (99 percentile) no surprise here, he is a long boy!
Head Circumfrance: 16.7 inches (50 percetile)
Shots: he had an oral immunization and two shots today. He cried loud for about 2 seconds and then was fine after that. He cried more when the doctor was examining his belly.
Rash: he has had bad eczema all over his body with the driest spots being in the back of his knees, elbows, under his neck and on his belly :( I have tried everything to get rid of it, including not eating any dairy products for 10 days. The doctor thinks it may be a food allergy, so it looks like I am going to go to formula earlier than expected.
Some interesting things he does right now
- he is very playful right now- laughing and smiling at everything, especially mom (which of course I love)
- he has just started reaching and grasping for objects above his head-he is a very determined young boy. I have seen him stare intently at an object and try his hardest to grab it until he finally reaches out and gets it. His face showed pure excitement. It was adorable.
- he puts his fingers and hands in his mouth all the time. Mckaley did this too, so I think its a baby thing.
- he giggles like crazy, especially when he is tickled on the sides of his belly
- he rolls over on his side to sleep, but hasn't rolled completely over yet
- he kicks and kicks and kicks and kicks non stop I tell ya
- he talks SO loudly now. It is like he is screaming for attention.
- he has this half smile kind of grin. It is kind of like a little Elvis smile. It cracks me up.
Naked Baby!
Whats up guys?!
Chomping on my fingers
Just hanging out before I go to the Dr. to get my shots. I have no idea what I'm about to get myself into!
Am I going to be a little rock star?
Tummy time
Mckaley loves me
And I love her!

If you think he's talking loud now, just you wait ;) What a beautiful boy Michael is. And, Mckaley too, of course!
I love them! I can't wait to see you guys.
oh meg... He is so cute! i LOVE naked babies. i know that sounds weird but it's just so precious. and the last pic of michael & mckaley is priceless!!!! i cannot believe he and Paisley are the same size. The doctor said she was petite but I had no idea just how petite that really was. good for you for having a nice, big healthy boy! You should be proud! :)
He is so stinking cute! I need to see a pic of Tyler as a boy because I think he looks like your brother (at least the pics you put up of your bro). I love that he is big. Yes it stinks for you to hold, but that just means he is healthy!!
Noah had BAD eczema on his face and body. The only thing that helped was hydrocortizone. I hated to put it on cause it is a steriod, but otherwise the kid would bleed because he was sooo dry! GOOD JOB MOM...your kids are awesome!
I love, LOVE four-months old. Just starting to smile - recognize the world around them (and their adorable hands), and yet, still totally immobile. You put them down and they STAY THERE. Oh, how I miss those days... Enjoy!
And good luck w/your lawn. I'd suggest you just call and get the sprinklers fixed by a professional. Or, get a few cans of green spray paint...!
(Just for fun, I clicked "Next Blog" in the top of my toolbar and I found you. In case you were wondering how or where I came from...!)
