Alex 4 Months Old

Alex turned four months old this past weekend on 5/3/14. He is doing great and progressing right along. He rolled over on Thursday night, two days before turning four months old. He turned from his belly to his right side and then back. He loves kicking his feet and smiling when you look at him. He coos a lot and grabs for his toys. He also does fairly well holding his bottle. We took him for his four month check up today. He weighed 11.1 pounds and was 23.5 inches long. That put him in the 0 - 2% group. So even though he's bigger than Evan was at that age, both my boys are on the short/skinny side. I think they get that from my family. We are all small people. The doctor said there were a lot more overweight children these days, which skews the chart as well. Luckily, I don't have to deal with that issue. Alex holds his head up well and tolerates the bumbo time for about ten minutes at a time. He's got a little flat spot on the back from sleeping on his back, but hopefully, it will round out with more sitting up & tummy time. His capilary hemangioma is starting to turn white in the middle. The doctor said that's a good sign that it's stopped growing and may start shrinking soon. We tried giving Alex rice cereal this weekend. He did not seem at all interested, so we'll see if he continues to grasp the spoon-eating concept or not. He's a very healthy boy!

First time eating rice cereal.

Evan enjoyed eating the cake pop for Alex.
