4 months old!

Today is Baby K's four-month birthday. At his checkup today, he weighed 13 lbs. 5 oz. and measured 24 and a half inches long. He cried when he got his four shots, but just minutes afterwards was smiling at me. He napped for about two hours when we got home, then woke up and was his regular self the rest of the evening. I'm sure the poor baby's legs will be sore tomorrow.

Sunday morning during church Baby K's daddy was leading singing. Baby K was sitting on my lap, and I took his hand and touched his foot with it. Suddenly, it was like a lightbulb went off, and he realized that that was his hand and his foot, and he's been grabbing for his feet since, even while the pediatrician was trying to examine him today. When he's not reaching his feet, his fingers are crammed into his mouth. Yesterday morning he was on his back on a blanket on the floor, sucking the middle two fingers on his left hand, and his right hand wandered up to his head and he felt his hair, and another lightbulb went off: he realized that was his hair he was touching with his hand, and he laid there sucking his fingers and rubbing his hair. It was absolutely adorable and Daddy was mad I didn't get a pic.
