4 months!



Happy four months, Ben! You're 1/3 of the way through your first year -- where is the time going?
Here are your stats:
weight: 13lbs, 9oz  -- 25th percentile
height: 24.5 inches -- 25th percentile
head: 35th percentile (can't remember measurement!)

More importantly than the the numbers, on your 18 week birthday (July 27!), you ROLLED OVER from BACK TO FRONT (the hard way!) first! I've been watching you curl up on your side for a week or so, but, then you went all the way over. And, while you were on your belly, you proudly lifted your head and smiled!
You still continue to be the happiest baby and are content 99% of the time! Sadly, you had your first ear infection (diagnosed on 7/20) and a fever that lasted 9 days to go with it. Not fun, but, in your contented way, you handled it with very little (if any) fussing or complaining. Fortunately, at last check you're all cleared up. We're hoping and praying that you won't follow down your big sister's path in regards to ears!

We love you, Ben!
