Mark just had his 4 month check up. He is now 14 lbs 8 ozs and 26 inches long. That puts him in the 27th percentile for weight and 80th percentile for height. He is really moving around and alert these days. Rolling both ways and developing a tendency to roll over to his tummy to sleep after I put him down on his back. He is sleeping through the night consistently now. Bedtime is around 7:30/8 and he sleeps until anywhere between 5 and 7 am depending on how lucky we get. He is still napping 3 times daily about 9, 12 and 3:30 with mid day being the longest. Emily naps mid day too so it works out great. Of course I'm sure that's why he naps best then - his other naps are very short because it's usually while we are out! He is still doing lots of smiling and cooing but I have not heard a belly laugh yet. I keep trying but maybe he just doesn't think I'm funny.

Everything else looked great at his check up and our doctor recommended starting him on rice cereal. I think Mark likes it more than Emily did at this age. And he figured out how to eat it very quickly! This clip is not his first actual bite, it took a few bites before we both got the hang of it. I like the look on his face at the beginning of the clip. Emily was eating her dinner at the same time and obviously thought the whole thing was hilarious.
