Baby Dragon is 4 months old!!! It's CRAZY how fast it's gone by!!! Last year at this time we were only considering having a third child. That tells you just how fast this little guy decided to get into this world! He's quite the impatient little stinker, doesn't waste any time! : ) In one year he went from just a "thought" to a 4 month old baby!!! Our little man must have a pretty important role to play in his life, some reason he needed to get down to Earth so quick! : ) At his four month check up he weighed 10 lbs 9 oz. He was 22 3/4 inches long. He's doing well. Growing at a good steady rate. Ears, eyes, etc, all look good. He's developmentally what he should be for his adjusted age (2 months old). No worries! : ) We got a healthy baby boy... just a little on the small side for a 4 month old. He is in the 1%ile for his height, weight, and head.He has started to roll. He can't always do it exactly when he wants to. He can go from his belly to his back pretty easily. His back to his belly is a little trickier, he has to work at it, but he's done it quite a few times.His hair is starting to grow back on the top of his head! : ) woohoo! This is about how much he had on top when he was born, then it all fell out, but the back and sides were still long! (yup... bald with a mullet!!!). Now the back and sides have mostly thinned out and it's growing back on top, so it's a little more even all around. When he's awake his eyes are always opened wide like he just doesn't want to miss anything exciting that might happen around him. With two crazy big brothers, he stays pretty entertained just watching them play. They can almost always make him smile! : ) I love that he's putting on a little fat. He's got nice round cheeks and a little double chin. His belly, arms, and legs, have all got a little pudge to them now. I couldn't get a picture of his big smile. It was hard to 'entertain' and click the picture on time. Here is a little bit of a half grin. LOL Here is a video of his smiles. (Check out his superbly cute dimples!!!) It's a little long (like 3 minutes). I don't know how to edit my videos yet. So, to save you time, he smiles in the first minute and then again during the last 30 seconds, so you can skip ahead. ; ) And here a little song he wanted to share with everyone. LOL As I was taking pictures he just starting cooing away like he was singing a little song, so I switched and took a little video. SO dang cute! I love hearing this little baby's voice!!!
I can't believe how fast it's all gone by. I have to remind myself to slow down and just enjoy his babyhood. When you realize how fast it's all gone by you wish you could have gone back to enjoy it a little more. He really is such a good baby and it's possibly the best feeling in the world to just hold and cuddle with him. I am so grateful that we were so blessed with him. So many things could have gone wrong, and they didn't. The Lord was with us, and baby dragon was surely meant to be here. : )
He's not singing, he's trying to roar and breath fire, he IS a dragon after all...
