4 Months Old

11.1 pounds, 23 inches. He is officially on the charts! That's right, 3 percentile! Yay! Now that it's cold, I sometimes layer Eli's clothes so he stays warm, the funny thing is, at 4 months old, I use his newborn clothes as an under-layer... yes, they STILL fit!

This month, Eli has mastered rolling over and is working on sitting up. He can sit up for a minute or so by himself, but then tumbles. And finally, he's beginning to use his hands and grab things (I think he's a bit behind the ball in this area, but oh well). He eats rice cereal, avacado, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, we're currently working on bananas, and sometimes when we're in public and he fusses I give him the little Gerber Graduates rice puffs. Oh, and he has finally finished his growth spurt, now he only eats every four hours instead of every two, and has started sleeping through the night again. Thank goodness!

He's starting to learn how to actually jump in his Johnny Jump-Up too... rather than just spin around in it like he did in the past.
