4 months old!

William turned 4 months old yesterday, and has his 4 month checkup was today.  And the numbers are in...

Height - 23 1/2 inches long      12%
Weight - 11 lbs. 10oz.      4%
Head Circumference - 15 1/2 inches     3%

So, he's a bit on the small side.  At first the doctor seemed a little worried because his weight had stalled, but then he noticed that his height had slowed down at about the same rate.  He said that he might just be small because David and I were kinda small babies.  He also said that his development is right on track!

William was very good at the doctor's office.  He was smiling and laughing at the nurse and doctor, and then they had to give him his shots :(  An oral vaccine, which he loved, and two shots, one in each leg, which he did not love.  One of them bled a little bit, and poor David could hardly handle it.  It's funny that he can look at the horrible things he sees at work without any problem, but when it comes to my blood, his blood, and now, William's blood - he just can't take it :)  Although William had a fit at the doctor's office after his shots, he's doing much better this time around at home.

At 4 months, William is laughing out loud - it's the cutest thing I've ever heard.  He's grabbing things, and putting everything in his mouth.  He loves kicking his legs, or "riding the bicycle" as David likes to call it.

He also loves playing with Daddy!


And sleeping in late with Daddy!


So precious




I just love that smile!  We are so blessed to have such a sweet, healthy baby!
