Noah is now four months old - time flies! Although in some ways it seems like I've known him all my life; four months doesn't seem nearly long enough.
His four-month checkup was great. Dr. Cross said he looks wonderful. He received another round of vaccinations, but only cried for a moment - what a trooper.
Dr. Cross gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal any time we would like in the next couple of months. I think I am going to wait a while; Noah still feels so little to me to be eating. Although we have already bought some organic rice cereal from Whole Foods, so that first meal will be fun.
Here are this month's stats:
Weight: 15 pounds, 6 ounces (62nd percentile)
Height: 25 inches (55th percentile)
Head circumference: 42 cm (44th percentile)

Play Time
As Noah gets bigger, he is spending more time at play. He enjoys the play mat shown here where he can gaze up at birds and butterflies and particularly a bluebird that flaps his wings and sings a song when Noah touches him.

Beauty Shop Baby
Noah's scalp has been really dry and flaky lately, so we did a little bit of a deep conditioning treatment before bath time. Daniel and I couldn't stop laughing. Hopefully Noah will see the humor in this when he is older. Daniel says Noah's head still smells like olive oil, but I disagree.

Great Grandma and Baby Charlotte
My grandmother visited this weekend with my Aunt Jennie. We had a lovely visit topped off with a cookout with Abby and Mary Beth Butts, Jessica and Pete Daniels, the Strobecks, Marin Weaver and Laura Iguchi. Jack really enjoyed his first home-made icecream.
