Alex had his 4 month check up today and everything looks great. The doctor said we should keep on doing what we're doing - sounds good to me. Alex now weighs 16.9 pounds and is 26 inches long which puts him in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. He had another series of shots which he was real smiley about until the third poke and the pain set in. The doctor was real impressed by how strong Alex was in holding his head up and sitting up on his own and he thinks we will have an early walker on our hands. Here's what else he's been up to:
We tried Alex in the jumperoo and he really liked it. We'll add that into our rotation of activities!
Look who discovered his piggy toes! With the help of Daddy, he likes to suck on them, along with anything else he can get in his mouth.
Alex is all over the place with his rolling. We really have to keep an eye on him now because we'll turn our back and find him on the other side of the room. Little stinker!
Alex and his cousin, Logan. They're only a year apart and I think Logan is starting to like that there's another boy playmate for him. They are going to be best buds!
Alex and his Daddy. It doesn't get much cuter than this! They adore each other and are constantly making each other laugh!
