Getting Big!



Our little guy is four months old today! He has grown quite a lot over the past four months. Learned and discovered quite a lot too! And, as always, got to go to lots of places with Mommy and Daddy. Here are the latest stats and the newest discoveries:

Four Month Stats:
**weight = 18 pounds (96%)**
**height = 26 inches (86%)**
**head circumference = 43 cm (71%)**

Gideon recently:
**noticed his hands and his control over them**
**saw his feet!**
**loves to stand and can go from sitting to standing with help**
**continues to babble**
**loves to suck on his hands**
**loves to play with his hands**
**loves to suck on any material he gets his hands on (towels, blankets)**

Gideon might also have acid reflux, which has prevented him from being on his tummy more. When we do get him on his tummy though, Gideon loves to kick and grab at the floor with his arms and legs. We think he may want to crawl, but we can never get him on his tummy long enough before he starts complaining. Hopefully, once the acid reflux resolves, he'll be back on his tummy and crawling one day soon. Meanwhile, we'll just keep watching him stand, and boy does he LOVE to stand! Everytime we get him on his feet, it's pure joy and laughter. I wonder if he'll be standing on his own before he starts to crawl! The following are the highlights from this past month.
