Micah @ 4 Months

Stats

14 lbs, 15 oz (25%)

23 3/4" (10%)

So what's new at 4 months? He's still quite the talker, but he's gotten louder. There's jabbering, and sometimes he starts shouting. One day he yelled so loud you could just tell it startled him! He's also become incredibly grabby...anything he can get his hands on! He grabs my hair, curtains, the pets' hair (and has pulled some out!)...pretty much everything. He really seems to enjoy his interlocking rings, but could care less about the teething ones. I think his first tooth will poke through soon! At least, I hope so. He's been miserable the past couple days.

I want to say that he's getting harder to entertain, but it's really that he finally needs to be entertained because he doesn't sit there quite so passively anymore. He really enjoys the outside, and sometimes to calm him down we really have to take him outside (and it's been brutally hot lately). Actually, the past couple days I've discovered that he enjoys looking out the windows just as much, so sometimes that saves us.

Micah has really gotten rolling on to his belly down now. We're in the "if you put me down I will promptly attempt to roll onto my belly" stage, which complicates diaper changes. It also means we need to be more careful about what we have on the floor around him, because he's going to try to get to it (and then stuff it in his mouth!)

He had his checkup the other day. 14 pounds 14 ounces (so close to 15! that surprised me) and 23 3/4 inches. So he grew almost 3 inches and added almost 3 pounds in 2 months! He is SO ROUND. I love it!

We moved furniture around last weekend (or maybe the one before) and now the boys are sharing a bedroom and we have a playroom! Micah still sleeps in bed with me at night, but once we added a small light to their room Isaiah's done better about sleeping in his bed. And the fact that Micah at least occasionally starts out the night in his crib really seems to make Isaiah believe they're sharing a room. We also put Ruff's bed in there a few days ago, so Jeremy and I don't have any extra furniture in our room anymore :D
