4 Months!

What do you get for a baby when they are 4 months old? An ExerSaucer!

We have also moved his booster/highchair to a more upright position because he loves to see what's going on around him. Sitting up unassisted and rolling over consistently will most likely be his next major milestones.

Just yesterday he began sucking on his right thumb, but still not consistently. We are wondering if he will ever start putting himself to sleep with his thumb or finger sucking.

Naps are definitely becoming more regular (even though Elizabeth still has to help him get to sleep, the crying, if any, is usually less than 5 minutes before he is out for 1-3 hours most of the time).

Zechariah continues to grow. At his doctor's appointment yesterday we found out that he is now 12 pounds 10 ounces and 26 inches. We also got permission to start solids before his 6 month appointment. We will probably hold off as long as possible because the possibility of allergies resulting from introducing food too soon, and the surgeon who did his surgery said there might be some issues when he starts eating solids so we are a little nervous about that, and Elizabeth needs to read a little more about introducing solids. We don't think that he is ready yet and mama's milk is still his favorite, the cheapest, and the easiest.

He is talking more every day (sometimes it sounds like he might even be singing).
