Four months old!

So Bryson is 4 months old today!  He celebrated by eating some cake and ice cream.  Well, not really, but you'd think so - he had his checkup today and is a fat and happy 97th percentile for weight.  Yep, that's right, 18# 4 oz at FOUR months and  25 1/2" long (75th percentile).  He is squealing, laughing, smiling like crazy and he holds his head up great with sitting and with tummy time.  But just don't ask him to roll because all of that bulk is just WAY too hard to move!  He's wearing 9 months clothes mostly which poses a bit of a problem given that it's still winter-time around here and we didn't anticipate needing warm 9 mo. clothes!  So we're doing lots of layering. 
We are thankful for our healthy, happy little boy and we are glad that his big sister has adjusted to life with a brother and we no longer fear for his physical safety most of the time (ie, for some unknown reason, she was infatuated with his eyeballs, wanting to poke them - ack, that was scary).  Her imagination is just blossoming and she's getting better and better at entertaining herself (and it's quite fun to eavesdrop, I must admit!)  Today she put on her 3D flamingo hat and I pointed out to Bryson that his sister was wearing a hat.  She said "Yes!  A flamingo hat - now I'm a policeman."  Apparently most people skip that paragraph in the uniform guidelines!
Here are a few pictures to document 4 months-ish.  Oh, and I almost forgot!  I must take our next "sticker picture" today, eh, AB?!
I'm loving the extra hour of light, the glimpses of spring, and I'm hoping these teasers of warm sunny weather stick around longer than an hour soon!

Pretty sure he's not looking like a sprinter - maybe a linebacker.  Go Dawgs!

Baby Teagan!  And yes, Bryson DID in fact grab her hand just after this.  Sorry Dave!  We'll keep an eye on him...

 
He loves to give out lots of smiles!  And we love to receive them!

Little Bryson Arno at four months... don't ya just want to SQUEEZE those chubby cheeks?!

Hmm, is it about our Jonathan? But Bryson is too chubby and I can't even compare him with J. :-) I am glad you have such a healthy and big AND CUTE baby.
