4 Months

Life as a 4 month old has been interesting. Yesterday I hung out with my friend Jack. We went to a big building with lots of colorful windows where a man in a robe dunked Jack's head in a big pot of smelly water as everyone watched quietly. Did I mention that Jack was wearing a white dress? The afterparty was fun - I got lots of cuddles and watched football with daddy.

Today I visited Dr. Oro again. She was nice as usual and told me that I'm up to 17 pounds, 3 ounces and 27 inches long - in the 90th and 97th percentile respectively. She told mommy about yet another book that will magically get me to sleep through the night -- good luck! Mommy told her that I wasn't rolling over yet but luckily Dr. Oro said that it was normal for back sleeping babies and it may take another 2 months for me to learn that trick. Then they chatted about my cradle cap and how I am going to get mommy's milk when I am at daycare. I showed Dr. Oro my strong tummy muscles and was chatting with her the whole time. They gave me a few more shots so mommy felt bad and said that it was "my day" and we could do "whatever I wanted", but somehow we ended up at the mall.

Hey Chase. How funny, Auntie Athena and I were at a baby dunking ceremony yesterday also. We were all joking around about his white robe they put on him after they dunked him. Sure is a strange tradition when you really look at the whole thing. We can't wait to see you in two days. Uncle Ryan
