4 Months

Time is zooming by and our little Benjamin is getting less and less little by the day. This boy sure lights up our home.

He's a little chunk compared to Jessica and Chandler at this age. His 0-3 month clothes are long gone and the 6-9 month stuff is fitting better and better by the day.

Length/Height - 25.5" (75th %)
Weight - 14 lbs 10 oz (50th %)
Head Circ. - 16.5" (50th%)

These are almost identical stats to Chandler... at 6 months old. Let's just hope Benjamin doesn't pass him up anytime soon.
(sorry if I'm giving anyone hives with the half-blurry picture)

Benjamin is always talking up a storm and I swear he tries to imitate what we say half the time. He rolls from back to front, but he's still working on going the other way (darn that tummy-time). Just recently he's been grabbing things and shoveling them straight to his mouth. Most of the time he gets super frustrated at those toys that are just so crazy appealing, but won't fit in his mouth quite right. 

This little man is always drooling and still hasn't outgrown major spit-up issues. I had a soccer-mom friend trying to convince me that he was teething.  But seeing how Chandler was toothless at a year old and Jessica wasn't much further ahead, I'm not holding my breath.

He's getting better and better overnight, occasionally giving me a full night's sleep, but more often he wants one or two feedings in there. No complaints here.

He ADORES his brother and sister. I think his favorite thing is when the two of them come over and give him lots of smiles, love, and attention. He just smiles and laughs.

We sure love our little Benja-bunnies! Our home just feels so much more complete with him around.
