Four Months

Our little Dexter is 4 months old!  The last time I posted about him, I said that the first two months went by really fast.  Well, these last two months have gone by incredibly slowly.  They've been really good, though.  Dexter just keeps getting more and more fun.  He laughs and smiles a lot, and is a very social little guy.  Mom is still his favorite person, but he isn't quite as adamant about always being with me (and they say that being particular about who is holding them is something they develop much later - BOLOGNA!).  He is still not the greatest eater although things have improved greatly since I've given up dairy entirely.  He is however, a great sleeper!  And amazingly, all three kids are in the same room and doing great.  Not only does he go to sleep at the same time or within 15-30 minutes of his brother and sister at 8, but he has been sleeping straight through until 5:30!  Which is great except sometimes he's ready to be awake for a few hours then.  Still better than getting up several times a night though!  I love you Dexter!

He loves to suck on his fingers.  All of them.  Sometimes he looks like he's trying to eat them.

Here are his 4 month stats:

Height - 25 inches (50-75%)

Weight - 14 pounds (50%)

(basically he's perfect although Jason says 50% is an F, but considering how much he likes to be held I'd rather an F than an A)

These two are good pals and, for the most part, really like each other.

Don't worry - the chips were all gone.  As a matter of fact, he likes to play with it because of the noise.  Addie thought he should try it on and declared that he looked like a mermaid (merman).
