4 Months Old

It's hard to believe! Our sweet baby is growing up so fast!!

4 month stats:
weight: 17 lbs 14 ounces (80th percentile)
height: 28 inches (still off the charts)
diapers: size 3 (no more yellow/blue stripe unfortunately!)
clothes: size 6-9 months
accomplishments: Can sit up without assistance for about 30 seconds, bears weight on his legs, bounces in the baby einstein exersaucer and the johnny jump up, laughs out loud, babbles, grabs and sucks on his toes, loves to watch the dogs, reaches for things (that typically go straight in his mouth). 

I didn't think that Charlie could reach and actually grab things quite yet. I learned the hard way, as did David. Charlie got my ice water at dinner and dumped it all over the booth (luckily not on anyone) and he got David's chips and sent them flying across the table. He is interested in everything and wants all of it to go directly in his mouth!

I took a few nakey pics and pictures in his Christening gown to document his 4 month birthday:




 The dogs were in the room for these pictures and Charlie followed their every move, hence all of the profile shots.






His new 4 month trick: waking up 5 times a night!! Sunday night when Downton Abbey was over at 11:00, I slipped into bed. At 11:05, Charlie was up and ready to eat again!  11, 2:30, 4:30, 5:30, and 7. Not sure why this started, but we're probably going to be starting solid foods soon. I'm hoping that will keep him fuller longer and result in more sleep for us both!
