4 Months

Somehow Mason is 4 months old already. He is strong enough to hold his head up and is enjoying the Jump-A-Roo passed down to him from his Auntie Jaime. I put a pillow beneath his feet though, because he can just barely reach the floor.

I tried uploading a video of Mason at the doctor's office this morning but it won't work for whatever reason. He thought that paper he was laying on was the greatest thing EVER. He discovered that the harder and faster he kicked, the more noise the paper made. By the time the pediatrician found her way to our room he had torn the paper to shreds beneath his feet.

Our little guy weighed in at 15.12 pounds which put him in the 65th percentile for his weight, and measured 26 inches which is in the 80th percentile for a 4-month old. That is an enormous jump from the 10th and 65th percentiles he was in just two months ago during his two month check up.

Mason is at the point where he is putting everything in his mouth, including his thumb (which he prefers over the pacifier.) He can grasp objects now and hold his head up while on his tummy for several minutes at a time. Each morning he watches a few minutes of a My Baby Can Talk DVD and finds it highly entertaining. When Tage comes home in the evenings Mason loves to babble on to him about his day, which is oh-so-cute. I'm sure my little peanut will be talking and walking in no time.
