Stats on our Chunky-Monkey

At 4 1/2 months, Bubs had his fourth doctor's appointment:
Weight : 16lbs, 56%tile
Length: 25.5 in, 55%tile
Head: 17.1 in, 69%tile!!

Our baby has quite the noggin developing and its obviously disproportionate these days! I told Dan it's Karma because of how much he made fun of the head size of his brother, "Kroc". Ty has such a bobble-head! Hopefully, his body catches up to it. But it makes us laugh!
Otherwise, Ty is looking "very strong and mobile" for his age.

He's had some set-backs on sleeping though. He's doing great with napping 2-3 times a day, and goes down to sleep really easily. But a month ago when night came, he was back to waking up every 2-4 hours. Recently, he seemed extra hungry, so I wondered if he wasn't getting enough to eat during the day. So, we tried rice cereal last week. That was fun for me! He definitely was interested, but didn't quite have the tongue-motion down to swallow. I kept wondering if he was getting any in his mouth, but eventually the bowl was empty - so maybe it absorbed through the skin on his face, since that's where most of it ended up!

First bite! Notice the fairly clean face.
Natural tongue-reflex still in action.

Ta Da! All done!

Today he tried pears. He LOVED it.
