4 Months Old

Little man gave some awesome smiles for his 4 month photo shoot. 

At his 4 month doctor appointment Graham weighed 16 lbs. 2 oz. and was 25 1/2" tall. This puts him in the 62nd percentile for weight, 53rd for height. And his head circumference was the 46th percentile. So he is tracking right along at a very healthy, average size.

Milestones include: 

• More laughing, mostly from being ticklish on this thighs and tummy. But we've had a few genuine laughs from just being silly too. 
• Drooling lots....
• Holding head up and propping onto forearms during tummy time
• Loves the ridiculous songs we come up with and sing to him
• First swim in a pool
• First boat ride
• First thunderstorm in a tent (ok, these aren't milestones -- just happenings)
• Making lots of art at daycare. Will post pictures soon.

During the wedding quilt portion of the shoot, we were just snapping the usual pics.

Then this happened. 

Graham rolled over for the first time! First from back to tummy, as these pictures show. Then he figured out how to get back onto his back. It was a good "training environment" on the soft bed where he flops a little more easily. But it was still fun to see him discover what his body can do. Now for the confession. These pictures were taken July 16 (not the 10th which was his actual 4 month birthday). I admit I've been a few days behind each month...but I am consistently behind, so we're still keeping track relatively accurately.

Anyway, Graham was pretty much "over" the photo shoot after all the rolling over excitement. But to keep up with the consistency, I forced the chair prop photos too. He was thrilled.

But let's not close with those. Look at all the smiles from the early shots on the fabric. 

 

 

And there are dozens more. Love this little guy so.stinking.much.
