Four Months Old

Our Son. Don't Mess.

"Good Job Ben!," says my mother. I assumed she was talking about a cute smile or motion he had made, so I stayed looking at the computer screen. "Good Job Ben!" she says again minute later. A whole minute passes before she says "Summer Ben is rolling over." Ben had rolled over for her twice, before I had even been alerted about the historic event! It was a day after he turned four months old. I had set in my mind that he would not roll over until at least five months (of course so I wouldn't push him unnecessarily). I scolded my mother, got out the camera and we watched as he rolled for his 3rd time! The roll overs come with a lot of screeching but they sure are cute to watch.

The next latest and greatest are Ben's four months stats. He is in the 71st percentile in height (25.2 inches), 57th percentile in weight (15 lbs 4.5 oz) and 53rd percentile in head circumference (42.5 cm). He got rave reports on the proper care of his excema-- his skin was looking quite clear. It looks like we have a healthy little dude. He got two shots and cried for a minute and has not squawked about them since then.
