4 wonderful months

Benjamin,

I better get your four month post done before you turn five months next week. :) I am a little behind, but better late than never...right??

Your fourth month was a great one! You had your first trip to the ranch for opening weekend of deer season. Everyone has so much fun spending the weekend with you. We even got Aaron to hold you long enough to get your picture taken.





You also had your first Thanksgiving. We were at Noni and Papa's this year. You were just being passed around the party and you were so good the entire time. You just smiled at everyone and made their day.  You rolled over from your front to your back for the first time while we were there. It was great to see!!


We went to the doctor for your 4 month checkup. You were 26 1/4 inches long and a little over 16 lbs. You are in the 90 percentile in your length and 75% in your weight. The doctor says you are the size of a 6 month old. You are a big healthy boy and we wouldn't have you any other way. :) This was the first time at the doctor that you really were uncomfortable while he was checking you out and you got really upset when you got your shots this time. I can tell you are much more aware of your surroundings and what is going on. It is hard for me to watch you so upset. :(

We also began introducing you to solid foods. Your first couple meals were of rice cereal. You were very confused on what we were putting in your mouth, but you are catching on pretty quickly!




You started laughing out loud this month. Which is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. You love to be tickled and think it is sooo funny when we bring your feet up to your face.

You are getting better at sleeping through the night. Even though it isn't every night we get a few nights a week so that is great!

We love you so much sweet boy!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy
