4 Months

Holden is 4 months old today. He has grown so much since last month. We saw the pediatrician this afternoon and he is 24 inches long and 13 lbs 4 oz. He is in the 20th percentile for his age, so still a little petite but quickly growing. We also got a plethora of vaccines so he is being quite a crab monster tonight. But nothing a good night's sleep won't fix.

Holden's accomplishments this month:

• He smiles and laughs a lot, a generally happy baby I would say.
• He likes to look at his feet, and laughs a lot as the toys that hang on his bouncer and activity mat. He isn't grabbing for toys yet but I'm sure it will happen soon.
• He likes to sit in his bumbo seat and we have explored the jumparoo a little bit (see video below)
• He is starting to pull up with his shoulders and tummy to try and sit up when we are holding him
• He has rolled over tummy to back twice and surprised himself, then started laughing
• He sleeps consistently through the night from around 7:30pm to 6:30am. We are lucky.

What Holden has done for the first time in June:

• Went to the beach for the first time. liked the breeze, didn't like the ocean.
• Hosted his first cook-out with friends

Now for some photos and video
