4 Months

Gavin is four months old today. He is doing really well. He has a happy disposition and really enjoys smiling at anything and anyone. He seems a lot more interactive this past month. His current stats are: weight: 14 lbs. 5 oz (50th percentile); height: 24 inches (30th percentile).
In comparison to Adam and Matt, Gavin is the heaviest (by one ounce) and the shortest (by 1/4 inch). So, I'm thinking of him as our "stubby chubby". He continues to nurse six times/day and nap four times/day. He goes to bed about 9pm and sleeps 'til 7am. He's grown into his 3-6 months clothes. He loves to stand on our laps and has little interest in lying down. He no longer wants to be in his bouncy seat since it's too reclined for his liking. He is enjoying his exersaucer, as seen below. He also likes to sit in his highchair and be scooted up to the table with the rest of us during mealtime. He recognizes himself in the mirror and is just thrilled to see himself or any other baby. He breaks out into a big smile. He is getting quite adept at grabbing and holding onto his toys, our glasses, my hair, etc. He rolls from his tummy to his back and is starting to work on rolling from his back to his tummy.

His hair has fallen out on the sides, so he's sporting a mohawk along the top and down the back. He's got big, blue eyes that always seem to be very alert. It looks like he is starting to develop a dimple in his chin like his Grandpa Chichi. He has started drooling a lot and some days sports a rash on his chin from it. He continues to spit up a lot and it has gotten gradually worse as he's gotten older. I've been eliminating any and all foods that could possibly be bothering him. I feel like it's only safe to eat bananas and turkey sandwiches. However, the doctor today told me that at this point I can start eating everything again, including dairy. And simply try to pinpoint the exact foods that bother him. We're glad Gavin is doing so well and is a healthy boy.
