4 Months Old

Holden is 4 months old! We had his well check appointment today. He recieved 4 more shots. OUCH! His dad held him through his shots and I looked away. I think the shots are just as hard for me as they are for little Holden. He is a very healthy boy:

• Weight....14 pounds 10 ounces - 50th percentile
• Height....25 3/8 inches - 75th percentile
• Head Circumference.....41 cm - 25th percentile

We have some great things to look forward to in the coming months. Holden will:

• Start eating rice cereal now
• Start following our movements and voice with his eyes
• Continue rolling over (let's hope he masters tummy to back soon!)
• He may start to sit with support
• Think it is funny when we play peek-a-boo
• Start to look for objects out of sight (object permanence)
  

I asked the doctor about the car seat and sleeping/eating situations. He said "he is dangerously close" to reaching the car seat limit, and that it is time to upgrade to the convertible car seat. He also said Holden is capable of sleeping, and not eating, for a 12 hour stretch. Trey and I have our work cut out for us!
