We went to the doctor's office yesterday afternoon for Colton's 4 month checkup. He got 4 shots while there, but he handled them like a champ!! A little crying but nothing that mommy couldn't calm him down from. And of course, his bottle helped as well. He now weighs 17.3 lbs (in the 75 percentile) and is 26.6. inches long (in the 90 percentile). Dr. Buettner says that he is growing right along schedule, and looks like he may even be a tall boy. (Where in the world did this child come from -- Haha.) Well, Chris' grandfather and my grandfather were both tall men so I guess it's possible.
Colton is now taking 36 ounces a day of formula (6 ounces every 3 to 4 hours) and is eating cereal and fruits twice a day. He loves bananas and applesauce and we are looking forward to trying some new fruits this week as well. As you can see, this child LOVES to eat! He is also sleeping great through the night as well. He goes to sleep around 8:30 or 9pm and then sleeps all night until around 6:30 or 7:00am. I'm so blessed to have such a great little baby!
We also introduced him this past weekend to his Little Einstein Jumper and Activity Center that Aunt Melinda and Aunt Janice bought for him. He absolutely loves it!!! Chris thought he was a little small for it, but mommy was convinced that he was big enough and even put it together by herself!! He loves all the bright colors and even though he can't quite reach the floor with his legs, I know that pretty soon he'll be jumping all day long in it.

Highlights of this month:
- He started eating bananas and applesauce this month. He loves them!!! We started out eating them for breakfast with cereal and we have now started giving them to him at night time before his last bottle for the night.
- He is now rolling over both ways
- He loves to watch TV. He can lay in front of the TV for hours watching cartoons.
- He adores his dad and will laugh at him for no particular reason.
- He is still a great sleeper! He sleeps at least 9 hours every night.
- He had his first beach trip to Orange Beach, Alabama.
