Walker is 4 months!



Weight: 17lbs 3 oz (85th %)
Length: 26.75in (98th %)
Head: 16.5in (64th %)
Diaper: Size 3
Clothes: quickly moving out of 3-6m; 6-9m is most comfy
Shoes: moving from size 2 to 3
99.9% sure you are my brown-eyed baby! Beau is still grasping for hazel ;)

Highlights off the top of my head: You are so easy! And so happy - we can get smiles out of you effortlessly and at any point of the day. Everyone comments on how easy of a baby you are, you go with the flow, always smile or just sit there and observe. I can't get over how content you are with just watching us or TV! You're definitely going to be my TV watcher. You will even arch your body around to see it. You hate being alone and know immediately when we've left the room. Even then you just let out the slightest whimpers of discontentment.  You DO have the loudest cries when you're hungry. They hurt my ears!
Happy, Happy, Happy!
Sleep: Still waking/stirring once a night. You are swaddled for the major stretch: about 7:30pm to 4am; now we are just putting the pacifier back in your mouth and letting you out of the swaddle to stretch out. Then 4am to 6 or 7am on your back until you let the whole house know that you're hungry! You and Grayson still don't wake each other up with your cries/yells. I'm shocked since you share a wall. Napping about 3x a day: 9:30am; 12:30pm; 4:30ish.
Just like Grayson - fightin' the good fight for that one arm up and out!

Eating: 6oz every 3 hours. Not really taking all of it every time. I think it's b/c you're teething. Doc says not to worry b/c it's not like you're starving. Ha! ;) 

Food coma
Teething: You are obsessed with gnawing on your hands, our shoulders, our hands, pacifiers, teething rings, burp cloths, bibs, ANYTHING you can get your hands on! Still no teeth. 
Always biting on your hands. Poor teething baby!
Loving Sophie!

Activity: I love how you still kick and flail when we're within eye sight. You are just so engaging! Love to make eye contact and smile and coo and interact with everyone. It amazes me and humbles me all at the same time. You love jumping more than ever! We now have an outdoor jumperoo for when Grayson is playing in the backyard and one at Mimi and Pop's house. Your coordination is really coming along. You bring your hands together, reach for things, can bring objects to your mouth (again with the teething!), etc.
Cousing Emily loves babies! Y'all held hands a lot while they visited from Corpus!
Making friends at Annie's play date. Jen's baby girl, Berkley
4 month ped appt - Dr. Kaplan is very impressed by your growth :)

You love Mimi's new jumperoo! Way better than ours at home.

Brotherly Love: Things are all good in the Reynolds house! Grayson helps by bringing me burp cloths, letting us know when you have spit up or drool, wipes your mouth, puts your paci in, tells us if you are asleep or awake while in the back seat, says "Baby cryin'" like we don't know ;) , and also says, "TOO LOUD." You are a really loud cryer!
