4 Months Old and Counting...

Our little guy isn't so little anymore.

At his four month check up he weighed in at 16lbs 7oz and is now 25in long.

I know I say it every month but he is growing so fast. I just had to buy him all new clothes because he has already grown out of all his 3-6 month clothes. I had to buy him 6 month clothes, all he has is shorts outfits and it is still a little chilly out. Not that I am complaining, he is fun to shop for. Baby clothes are so much cheaper, I actually feel as though I am getting my moneys worth when I shop for him. However, with how fast he is growing if his clothes were not inexpensive I would probably have a naked baby 90% of the time.

Gavin is getting stronger and more balanced every day.

He loves to stand up. He will cry and pout if he is layed down. He will stand for at least ten minutes at a time before needing a rest.

I have been trying to work on sitting up with him, because if he isn't standing then he wants to be propped up in a sitting position so he look around and take in his surroundings.

I've found the mosre we practice the better he gets. He can stay upright for a few seconds before tipping over. He tends to fall forward, but I have noticed he is learning to push himself up with his hands. He just isn't very good at it yet.

Don't let my previous post of tummy time fool you.

As you can see tummy time is still not his favorite part of the day.

The back of his head is still pretty flat. I'm sure he thinks I am a horrible mommy, especially when I let him cry and then take his picture:)

Drooling is his new favorite activity.

He is constantly putting things in his mouth. His fist, my fist, toys, or his favorite Gavin binky tend to find their way into his mouth.
It's actually pretty cute. Except when we play flying baby and I have him up in the air above my head and out of no where I get a glob of drool in the face. Awesome, right!

He is such a happy, healthy little boy. He rarely cries, but when he does he is easily settled down by taking a walk outside. He's like his daddy he loves to be outside and busy is best.
