You know what they say: A Big Head means...Big Brains!

Well, today Foster is officially 4 months old.  Everything went very well at his checkup with Dr. West.  Finding the right doctor is sort of like finding a spouse.  One sarcastic phrase from their mouth and you are hooked for life.  I love the laid back, nonchalant attitude Dr. Bruce West has.  For example, After hearing that I had Foster on a pretty strict parent-lead schedule, this was his response and I quote,"Shouldn't all parents have their children, even their babies, on a schedule?  Doesn't the world run on schedules?  Shouldn't they be taught early that life doesn't revolve around their personal wants and needs and instead that life is something in which they participate in, getting their needs met and working for their wants?  These parents who don't believe in scheduling their babies/kids create these nightmares that the rest of us have to deal with later!"

Can you see why I love him so much?  Also the first comment upon entering the room today was, "Good Lord that baby is carrying 15 lbs just in his head.  He must have some serious brains in there!" Of course we all know Foster is Daniel's son, now!

Anyway, out little man weighed in at the 75th percentile in weight and height at 15lbs, 10oz and 25 3/4 inches.  His giant head was 16 3/4 inches around!  He has moved up from the 25th percentile at just 5 days old to the 75th a 4 months.  What is next?  If anyone needs Christmas gift ideas...footed sleepers for our big boy!  6-9 or 9-12 months.  His long legs and torso are quickly outgrowing the 3-6 and 6 month onesies!  And even in Florida Jan and Feb can be a bit chilly!

 

 We also got the okay to begin rice cereal.  But...we are going to wait a couple weeks until Dad gets home and begin together.  It will be a Flip video moment for sure!  Using the high chair, a spoon, and eating solids all for the first time.  He is doing so many new things.  Making new sounds, sitting and standing with assistance, rolling from tummy to back, reaching for toys and putting everything in his mouth! 

Our little man will be a man in no time at all.  Hard to believe it has already been 4 months!  What a cutie and truly the "apple of my eye."
