4 months old.....







We visited the dr. Friday for Zeke's shots and growth check. He is still growing, 13 pounds 1 ounce, 23 inches long, and 16 inch circumference head. It is hard to believe when I imagine the 4 pound baby I held in my arms 4 months ago. He still amazes me daily. He is sleeping 10-11 hours at night and about 5-6 hours during the day and eating 5 ounces every 3.5 hours. He doesn't like to cuddle much anymore which makes me sad. He thinks he is a big boy and should just sit up all the time. He is holding his head up very well when on his belly and when raised to a sitting position. He has really decided he can use his hands to do things besides just gnaw on them. He bats at his toys and holds on to me or touches my face while eating. He loves to lay in the floor and play, but doesn't enjoy tummy time all that much. He is starting to like it a little better and can tolerate it for up to ten minutes sometimes. He just can't figure out that nub. It needs to be farther underneath him to support him and he wants to put it in the same place his other arm is when propped and it always ends up being behind him not supporting anything. He will figure it out eventually, he just may walk before he crawls.
