4 months!

Our little Brantley is 4 months old today.  These past 4 months have flown by, but at the same time it seems like I had him so long ago.  He had his 4 month appointment today and was a champ! He cooed and smiled at the doctor and only cried for a little bit with his shots.  Dr. Firth was impressed with his growth and said he is a health baby!  Brantley weighed 16 lbs 1 oz (75th percentile) and was 24 3/4inches long (45th percentile).  As you can see Brantley sure loves his food!  We started him on rice cereal last week and so far he seems to be enjoying it.  We were hoping it would get him to start sleeping through the night again.  It helped a little. Instead of waking up 2-3 times he only wakes up once.  Brantley has rolled over a few more times, but he mainly rolls from side to side holding his toes.  He is starting to master grabbing toys with his hands.  He is a pro at putting his hands in his mouth and gagging himself though!   This past month he has started to laugh and giggle more and not just when we tickle him.   He is a social little boy. He loves when people talk to him and will talk right back. We certainly love this little guy and the new adventure he brings to our family every day!

Oh and in exactly one week we will be on our way to Texas! I can't wait!  It will definitely be an adventure and hopefully and enjoyable one!

So Stinkin' cute!! Kason and him are exactly four months apart. I didn't realize that before. It is fun to hear all the things he is doing.
