4 Months Old!

Spencer is such a happy baby. He has a huge smile and the best giggles. He giggles more than any baby we've ever known. He is also growing a ton! On February 3rd, he turned 4 months old and had a check-up at the pediatrician. He now weighs 18 lbs, 7 oz and is 28" long!!! (Actually he's 27", but that's still super tall) He is more than the 99th percentile--he's off the charts! Way to go Spencer! He is about the size of an average 7 month old baby, and we love every bit of him.

David also loves his role as big brother. He trys to share his toys as much as possible for an almost two-year-old. Whenever Spencer plays with the toys that hang from this piano, David lies down next to him and shows Spencer how to grab the various objects. We always have to supervise because David likes to give Spencer hugs which aren't always very gentle. David likes to play peek-a-boo with Spencer and loves to name and "count" all of Spencer's body parts. As of last check, Spencer still has all ten fingers and ten toes.

You are truly blessed to have two wonderful, cute, and healthy boys! I loved the Bolivian outfits - Spencer actually seemed to enjoy being all bundled up! Spencer is getting so big, soon he'll be as big as David, then those hugs won't be as "rough." LOL. Also, way to go on teaching David to share, any two year old willing to share more often than not is no small feat.

Please tell what your recipe is! I wish I could fatten up a kid that good. They are both so cute.
