4 months...and a Comparison

i can't believe this little guy is already 4 months old!

(and taking progressive pictures over a series of months and making them look remotely similar is a serious challenge. from putting something soft under him and not having it show to figuring out sweet angles; i've learned so much and still have so much to learn!)

i have no idea where the time has gone. he's such a joy to us and the girls. he loves to giggle and smile. his favorite thing to do is kick his sweet little legs when we lay him down. he loves his bouncy seat and rolling from his tummy to his back. he adores his sisters. he wants to be in on the action, watching and observing. he loves to snuggle right before he goes to sleep. he was sleeping like a champ for almost 2 months. not so much right now...but that too shall pass. he weighed a whopping 16lbs-14oz and was 26 inches at his 4 month checkup, landing him in the 75th%ile. (Addie was right at 16lbs, Anne Perry 15-6 and Audrey Kate 14-9; all smaller than this sweet little chunky boy!)

i thought it might be fun to see the three big girls at 4 months...

addie at 4 months:

anne perry & audrey kate at 4 months:

paul and i still say he favors anne perry, but i see more of addie in him every day. personality wise, he's super laid back/go with the flow...and that is probably the biggest difference between him and his sisters (besides the fact that he's a he!)!

little buddy...we love you and we're so thankful that God chose us to be your family!
