Connor 4 Months!

So Connor is officially four months old. Time is just flying by. We had his well check on Tuesday he is definitely a BIG boy. He was 16 pounds 11 ounces which is in the 85th percentile. His head was 43cm which is about the 75th percentile and then his length was 27 inches which apparently was above the 100th percentile. He is wearing mostly 9 month clothes, some six month stuff still fits but no so much in the length . He has mastered rolling from his tummy to his back but is still working on the back to the tummy. He is really close he just gets stuck on his arm. He LOVES the bouncy chair, it has become one of his favorite places to fall asleep. He still refuses to take a pacifier but I continue to work on it daily. I'm hoping he'll come around eventually. He had another stint of hating the bottle but we switched things up and went back to the Dr. Browns and he's been doing great. The Dr. said we can introduce rice cereal between 4-6 months. He has been seeming to want a little extra something at night since he was starting to wake up at 4 or 5am for a feeding, so I have been pumping a bottle and adding a couple tablespoons of rice cereal to it and seems to be doing the trick. He has gone back to sleeping through the night. We don't have a great nap routine worked out yet but I'm sure he'll fall into one, I've tried to force it a little and that just doesn't work. He is still a really happy and very mellow baby. He's very giggly, loves to play with his rattles and has started to babble. Mark swears he has said dada but I'm not sure. Brody's first word was dada so I'm holding out and hoping Connor's will be mama :) He absolutely LOVES Brody. He is always watching him and smiles whenever he sees him. Sometimes if he gets really upset Brody is the only one who can calm him down and make him smile, it's really sweet.

Loving bath time.

Their first bath together!

Our second trip to the pool.

And his favorite new place to nap :)
