Brody's 4th Month

Some things about Brody at 4 Months:

Size: He weighs 15 lbs. 11 oz., is 25 1/2 inches long, has officially moved up to a size 2 diaper, wears 3 to 6 month clothes and some 6 to 9 months. He even could wear a new pair of 6 to 9 month blue jeans we bought him for the fall.
Developmental Accomplishments: He is still a very happy baby who loves to be talked to and loves to laugh at our silly faces, voices or when tickled. One of his favorite games is for Mommy to "beep" or "honk" noses. He just erupts in giggles every time! He refuses to even try to roll over (just not his thing I guess), but he can sit up with minimal support with great control of his neck and head for very long periods of time. He wants to sit up all the time. He did recently fall over while sitting propped up and turned himself onto his stomach. He grabs, bats at, kicks, and plays with his toys. He started using his exersaucer and bumbo seat this month too. He can grab his toes and enjoys putting them in his mouth.
Sleeping: He is still sleeping through the night. Don't hate! He goes to bed around 9:30 or 10:00 (we like to keep him awake until Mommy gets home from school at night so he can get one more feeding) and gets up about 6:30 in the morning when Mommy usually has to wake him up to eat before she gets ready for work. He sleeps longer on the weekends.
Eating: He loves to eat! We had started giving him a little cereal in his two formula bottles during the day a few weeks ago to help him with spitting up. He was doing great with the cereal and was making all the signs that he was ready for solid foods so we tried baby food at the end of this month. He loved it! Avocados were a big hit!
