Growing Like a Weed!

Greyson had his 4th month check up & another round of vaccines today.  He now weighs a whopping 16 lbs./4 oz.(75%).  He also measured @ 26 in.(75-90%).  The doctor said that he's well proportioned!  I can't believe how much he's grown and how his appearance continues to change.  He still has his daddy's blue eyes & a bit of his mommy's red hair!  His development is progressing as normal and he is actually ahead in some developmental areas. 

He's now able to sit up, with support.  He's able to do this in his Bumbo sitter. 
Here he is playing with his cousin Camryn!
He's also been trying to sit up whenever he is on his back!
We discovered that he loves sitting & playing in his Boppy bouncer.  He figured out that whenever he kicks his legs, that he bounces!  It's too funny, but great exercise for him!
During tummy time, he loves to play with the "noisy" toy train that Grandma Karen got for him!  He loves, loves, loves for you to move it all around so that it will make its "crackle & pop" sound! It has definately encouraged him to want to be on his tummy for longer periods of time.
 
He's still fascinated with his hands! He enjoys gazing at them & continues to suck on them!
He's also been sticking to his sleep schedule.  He goes down for the night between 8:00/8:30 & sleeps for 10/12 hours!  During the day, he sleeps on & off for a total of 4 hours.  We have also increased his formula intake from 5 ounces to 6 ounces, plus some solid foods (rice cereal).

Greyson continues to bless our hearts!  We love him much & don't know what we'd do without him!
