4 months and counting...

Ryker is now 4 1/2 months. Crazy! He had his 4 month check up last Thursday and all is well. His hernia is slowly going away which now gives him an 'inny' belly button just like the other two. (How on earth do you spell 'inny'!) He weighed 15.5 pounds (50th percentile) and was 26 inches (75th percentile). He's no longer the chunky monkey that he started off as. He had 3 more shots and the oral rota virus medicine. Lucas and Kody were with me at the doctor's appointment and looked horrified as they gave him his shots. Then Kody went berserk when he learned it was his turn for the flu shot. They aren't going to like it next week when we go in for the swine flu shot!




Here's a few things that Ryker is doing at 4 months...

• He loves to work out his abs by practicing crunches in the swing, car seat, and on the bed.
• He still loves his binky (not the funnest when he can't fall asleep without it)
• He still loves to be swaddled (presents a problem when he can now wiggle out of it)
• He has decided that sleeping through the night is no fun (although he did sleep 11 1/2 hours the night he got his shots)
• He loves to talk back and forth with us
  He his learning to blow raspberries
• He has almost out grown the 3-6 month clothes and will be wearing 6-9 as soon as I can get down in the crawl space to get them!
• He loves to watch t.v.
• He drools nonstop... all day long!
• He loves to grab for things and bring it instantly to his mouth
  He still has the biggest smile and brings so much joy to our family
