4 Months

Ok- so I am only a month behind.... Porter is now 5 months- but here are his 4 month stats:

Height: 27" which is the 93%
Weight: 17.4 lbs which is the 82%
Head: 16.69 which is the 44%

aka- yes he is a CHUNK- but his length is in a higher percentile than his weight- so we feel pretty good about that!

New things Porter is doing:
-Rolling over (selectively- he usually likes to just roll on his side and take a nap)
-Jumping ALL the time in his saucer
-Holding his own bottle
-Eating solids (the only kind he doesn't like is squash)
-Watches "Signing Time" all the time- he loves it!
- Every time I dress/undress him he starts laughing because he knows as soon as I lift his arms up I'm going to tickle his armpits- so as soon as I start dressing/undressing him he starts laughing and flexing. It's funny.
-Still obsessed with bath time! He loves it!
-Starting to rock up onto his knees- which I am TOTALLY discouraging! (We are going to Korea in a few months and I'd really prefer he not be crawling! If so he'll want to crawl on the plane... nasty!)
-He now recognizes when he hears his door open and he turns and smiles right at Dustin or I as soon as we walk in to get him. He's a flirt.
-He smiles and talks and does this flirty tilted-head smile anytime a pretty girl talks to him!
-Sleeps at least 12 hours a night and takes three two hour naps during the day!

Those are most of his new habits! He is so much fun! He'll wake up for an hour or hour and a half between naps and play like crazy- then rub his eyes. Once he rubs his eyes all we do it take him in his room, give him his binky- rock him for a second with his blanket and lay him down. Then he puts himself to sleep! It's wonderful!!!

We love you Little Rock!
