A 4 month Eli update!

Sitting up in his bumbo like a big boy!

I think I see a double chin. Do you?
A half smile. I've really got to get the camera out and get some of his smiling/laughing pictures. He is SUCH an incredibly happy baby.
His favorite place
Big boy, big cheeks

Drooly baby! (How do you spell drooly?)

"Okay Mom, I'm done with tummy time. Get me off of this thing!"

Has it really been four entire months since my sweet baby boy was born? Like always, time is flying by. Eli is so social now!!! He smiles, laughs, coos, and babbles away. He loves his play mat, and his big brother. He LOVES to have his diaper changed, which is so polar opposite of his brother. He had a checkup with Dr. Dorsey on Friday, and got a great report. He weighs 13 lbs and 2.6 ounces, which is the 25th percentile. He's 23 and 3/4 inches long, which is the 15th percentile. Dr. Dorsey was surprised he was only the 25th for weight, b/c he looks so chunky. He said he never would've guessed that; that he figured him more for the 5oth percentile.

My first concern this visit (b/c you know I always go with a list of questions), was his eye watering all the time. His left eye is like a faucet, and Dr. Dorsey said it was a blocked tear duct he'll grow out of. So, no worries there. My other concern was that he's still a little bit of a bobble head. I thought I remembered Drake having more head control at this age. In any case, Dr. Dorsey said that's right on track as well. That his truncal strength was better than average, and that his head/neck strength would come along as well. I love when my worries or fears turn out to be nothing! He ended his visit with two vaccines, both of which he's had before. We did each separately at 2 and 3 months, and now we can do some together since we know he didn't react.

When we were chatting about Eli's bobble head, and rolling over to his side, I called him "lazy". Dr. Dorsey said, "Well, you know what the other word for lazy is, don't you?". I didn't, but laughed when he told me it's "calm". SO TRUE. I have the calmest and laziest baby ever. He is such a sweet snugglebug, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Happy 4 month birthday sweet boy!
