FOUR Months

Quincy will be leaving for college soon. On Wednesday he turned 4 months old and Friday we had our 4 month well visit. The stats are:
weight: 13lbs 2 oz which is in the 10-25% percentile
height: 24 3/4 in which is in the 50% percentile
We are starting to think that this might actually be our kid. I mean, when you have an average size baby and average weight, blue eyes, and strawberry blond hair born to two tall parents with dark eyes and dark hair...kind of makes you wonder. His length is making us feel better each month! Plus, he is so good...where did that come from?








The pediatrician told us that we can start rice cereal anytime now and then follow a week after that with veggies. We were both a little surprised at starting so early. I'm not sure if it is because he needs more calories or what. I gave him 3 small spoonfuls of cereal yesterday and he did great, aside from the great faces that he gave me. I can't believe that it is time, or almost time, to start buying baby food. She said that he looks great. He is still a bit congested but she said that his lungs sounded good. I think that she was surprised by how much he interacted with her and she kept getting sidetracked by his smile. He got 4 shots and did really well. He did scream, but not for long.

It is getting so much fun to watch his personality develop. He is a pretty good little dude until he is hungry or tired. Then you don't want to cross him. He is really interested in everything, and thinks that his fists taste really good. He can pretty much fit both hands in his mouth--at once. Sometimes he will reach for my hand or fingers and shove them in his mouth as well. He talks when he has something to say, and you had better be listening, impossible to get a word in when he has something on his mind. He still loves bath time and his pacifier. He has the biggest grin ever and he hardly smiles without opening his mouth wide like he just can't stand it because he is so happy.






He loves for John to beat box to him and likes for us to sing to him. He is fascinated with the television and stops almost anything when John makes funny noises.

He has made it through three wedding ceremonies AND receptions with no whining or crying at all. How is that for a good kid? Here are some pics from a wedding this weekend. This is one of Q's "aunts", Stacy. I was with Stacy when I found out that I was pregnant almost one year ago to the day.
