4 months

 Colton's 4 month check up was yesterday.  So far he has done much better with this round of shots than his 2 month ones.  One hour of being really fussy and refusing to nap yesterday, otherwise he has been his normal happy self.  He is 14lbs 10oz and 24 inches long, putting him above the 75 percentile in weight and dropping him down to the 50 percentile in height, so still looking good!

He is starting to move himself around when on his back, and 3 mornings this week I've found him with his head  up against the side of the crib, so we will be attempting to eliminate the swaddle this week.  He is regularly sleeping from 8pm to around 6am.

There hasn't been a true discovery of the hands yet, at least not to the point where he stares at them for more than a few seconds at a time, but he is getting there.  He'll occasionally reach for a toy, will grasp one if you place it on his chest, and loves to clasp his hands together.  He has also started reaching up to the bottle during feedings and will even hold it on his own with a little positioning help.

It is amazing how much he has grown...it is getting harder to get him to be still long enough to snap a picture.

And when I do get him to look at me, I often get the camera face as soon as the flash starts to go off!
