Max 4 months old



It is hard to believe that our little man Maxwell is 4 months old already.  Some days seemed to last forever (as a new born) while now the days seem to fly by.  He had his 4 month check up with Dr. B. He was 13 lbs. 15 oz. and 22.75 inches long.  That puts him on the 50% mark for both; gaining 2 lbs and growing 0.75 inches over the past 2 months.  He started rolling just at 4 months old when daddy was at home with him one Sunday afternoon.  He smiles ALL the time and has several tickle spots and laughs out load when you get him all excited.  He loves to grab onto small objects (rings, rattles, mommy's necklace, etc), he tries to hold his bottle on his own and we predict he is going to be a left handed boy.  He has started getting oatmeal cereal for dinner each night.  He really likes the oatmeal, as he is just a light bottle eating still (about 2.5-3.5 oz at each feeding every 2-3 hours throughout the day).  We put some prune baby food mixed into the oatmeal about every other day to try to keep him 'regular' (don't let him read this, he might be embarrassed, lol).  Monday and Tuesday he spends the day with Mama and Papa, Wednesday's he is at the house with Ms. Chelsie and Ms. Ashley, Thursday's he is home with mommy and Friday's he has a fun day with Ms. Melanie and his big buddy Gabe.  He spends a lot of time during the day playing in his activity play-mat and swinging in his swing.  He loves his little friends on the swing mobil and loves to chat to them and us all.  The pictures show 4 mo., 3 mo. and his 2 mo. 'watch me grow' picture chart.  Overall our little Max is a very happy little guy and loves to be around people.
