Four Month Check-up

So, today was Jared's four month appointment with Dr. Zollo. It went really good, and Jared behaved very well. He always likes to be held and played with anyway, so this didn't seem any different to him. He weighed 18lb 2.5oz. I had guessed 17.5lb and Ryan guessed 18lb. He's always closer. :P He was 26.5'' long; so, that put him in about the 90 or 95% for length and in the 95% for weight. He's a big boy; Ryan's lovingly given him the nickname "Jabba the Baby." :)
 

 Jared's started having a couple new habits, besides sucking his thumb. He's never liked having his hands covered. Even when he was a newborn he wouldn't be able to fall asleep in a swaddle because he didn't like having his hands trapped. Now, he likes to sleep with his hands behind his head. It's pretty cute. :)
 

 

We've found that he loves to play with blankets around his head. Of course, we keep a close eye on him when he does.

He's gotten really good at putting things in his mouth.

He loves to talk while he's playing and sometimes starts yelling happily. There are times when we can't hear what we're watching, so we have to hold him so he'll play a little quieter.

And, he seems to love watching TV, not that we expose him to it too much.

He's our chunky little hunk of love. :)
