Chase at 4 months!

Chase is already 4 months old- he's been here for a 1/3 of the year! This month his birthday was made even more special by the celebration of his baptism! More on that later...

At 4 months old, Chase is:

-Fully standing, flat on his feet, with support. This is his preferred position. He can put his hands in his mouth and turn most of the way around to look at everything.
(this SHOULD be his 4 month picture)

-Sitting up with support--loving the bumbo chair. Just getting used to the exersaucer- it's overwhelming even for us. But he focuses on just one or two activities and seems to really enjoy it.

-He's also sitting up from reclining in his bouncy/vibrating chair. He raises his head and leans forward.

-Finding his voice. He's talking LOUDLY. And will go on and on whether or not we're there to respond.

-Laughing. It's awesome.

-Outgrown most 0-3 clothes. We didn't expect it to happen this quickly!

-Holding the bottle himself (sometimes).

-Teething...we think. He's drooling everywhere and sticking his hands in his mouth all the time. He's also eating more than he ever has. So we can't figure out if sucking makes his teeth feel better of he's going through a growth spurt.

On Thursday we go to the doctor for his 4 month check up which means height/weight stats (I'm betting he's close to 16lbs) and shots :-(. Wish us luck...
