Four months old

Can't believe little Henry is already four months old!!! The summer has flown by and our little guy is changing everyday.  He weighs 16 lbs 2 oz! Doc says he is in the 80th percentile for weight..big boy! We are starting rice cereal this week...should be interesting.  Then on to veggies and fruits!

Henry loves for you to hold him up and let him balance on his legs.  We joke that he is just gonna skip crawling..and go straight to walking! He has started to drool...a lot..so I'm constantly having to dry off that sweet face from all that slobber.  He just recently started this squeal thing where he shreaks and then laughs...it is funny now but I can see how having him do this in public would get REALLY annoying.  Lance and I listened to him a few days ago just talking to himself for almost half and hour...not sure what he was talking about but it sounded serious:)

He sleeps from about 9 pm to 5 am...usually.  The last few weekends have been pretty busy and the fact that he hasn't slept in his crib for a week straight in the last month hasn't helped.  He is such a wiggle worm too.  Every morning we find him in a completely different position than we left him...usually on his side facing the opposite direction!

Also new this month is the ever increasingly receding hairline.  This week the amount of hair on this little guy has decreased by about half!! I suspect that he is headed to be a baldy like his mommy and daddy! And probably after that a blonde beach babe:)  For now we are basically doing what we can with the patches that are left...trying to comb over the empty spots until it all falls out!
Henry still loves his activity mat and is getting more grabby at all the hanging toys.  His attention span has definitely increased and he loves to watch tv for about 20 minutes...which is a great time for me to do a couple of chores.  We are still working on naps during the day but the baby bjorn still helps us if he won't cooperate.  He is wearing his six month pjs and i'm sad to see some of his cutest outfits be packed away.  The time is flying by so fast!
