Four Months!

As always, I'm a little late with this post, but I figured I would wait until Bennett's 4-month checkup to give a little update. He is now 14.04 lbs (24th percentile) and 26.25 inches (85th percentile). He definitely is more of a baby than a newborn now, and it is fun to see him interact more and more. At 4 months, he:

* rolls over from his stomach to his back fairly regularly, although he can't always do it when he wants to

* rolls over from his back to his side. I find him like this a lot of times when he's playing on the floor - he'll roll onto his side to play with a toy

* sleeps really well at night (and takes good naps during the day - not sure how I got so lucky!)

* has gotten too big for his bassinet. We kept him in there until a couple nights ago, mostly out of habit. You'll see in the picture below that he was about to touch the ends before we moved him to his crib. Now we find him in all sorts of positions when he wakes up in his crib - he's enjoying the new freedom :)

* likes to look at books, and can sometimes manage to hold them up himself

* is losing his hair :( you can't tell very well by just looking at him (it is thinner than when he was born, but mostly because his head has grown), but I see a bunch of hairs in his crib or on the boppy after I feed him

* the doctor said he's very attentive. I'm not sure what's normal, but he does like to look around, and especially likes looking at people's faces. Depending on his mood, he'll be social and smile at strangers.

We think he's pretty cute (not that we're biased...)

(just to clarify, in that last picture he is watching TV, but I don't just put him in front of the TV to entertain him. He was playing with his toys and I had Wimbledon on while I was cleaning, and he turned around so he could see it)
