Matthew had his 4 month check up on Tuesday and his pediatrician was excited to see how well he is doing! Matthew now weighs in at 16 pounds and 13 ounces (90th percentile) and he is 26 1/2 inches long (97th percentile), which explains why we are wearing 6-9 month old clothing. Dr. Blair referred to him as "chunk" and I agree with that statement!! Can you believe we were so worried about his weight gain during his first three weeks?!?! Dr. Blair also said we could start experimenting with eating rice cereal and veggies, which I have mixed emotions with. I am excited for this next stage in his life but am sad because it means he's not my "little" baby anymore, he's growing up.
Speaking of growing up, Matthew is learning new things everyday. He is grasping objects tightly now and he is purposely grabbing at things. This morning I watched him take his pacifier out of his mouth and try to put it back in, he's getting so close but can't quite put it in correctly yet. He has discovered one of the buttons that plays music on his activity mat and will push it and smile at it while it plays the music. He recognizes his bottle and will open his mouth when I put it infront of him. Matthew hasn't learned to roll over yet because he HATES tummy time but we are working on this!! He has pushed up on to his side...but only once. He continues to sleep 10 to 12 hours a night; however, his naps during the day are getting shorter which means I get more time to play with him!! And my favorite is he is smiling, laughing, babbling, and he recognizes his mommy and daddy!!
So enough talking, here are some pictures of our "chunk":
