4 Months Old

My sweet little Banks is 4 months old today. We went to the doctor this afternoon and here are his stats. 15 pounds, 5 ounces (75%) and 26 1/4 inches long (90%).

Poor Banks, he has a cough, wheezing, and another ear infection. He got a new anti-biotic that will hopefully clear it up soon. He did not have a fever, so he got his 4 month shots. He was a tough little guy. He only made a sad face during the last shot. What a trooper! Dr. Dennis wants to hold out of solid food for a while since he is doing well and gaining weight without it.

At 4 months, Banks can roll over, hold his head up pretty well, and hold his paci in his hand and get it out of his mouth. He can't quite get it back into his mouth yet, but he tries really hard. He still loves his bath and has discovered how to splash. It is so cute but very messy on us. He smiles and coos and is very alert theses days. He still goes to bed around 6:30 p.m. and we wake him up at 10:00 to feed him. In general, he does very well until about 6:00 a.m. but he still gets up about every other night and wants to be soothed or have a couple of ounces of his bottle. All in all, he is a very good baby and he is the light of my life. What did I ever do without him?
