4 months old!

Colton is 4 months old today!

Since last months was a novel I'll make this short and sweet.
We went to the Dr. yesterday for Coltons 4 month shots and a check up.
He weighs 14 lbs 9.5 oz (50%). He is 24 1/4 inches tall (25%). His head is 17 inches (75%).
Coltons eyes are changing from a very dark dark grey to a beautiful shade of dark brown. He grabs a hold of the toys hanging from his play mat but his favorite toy is his fingers. He hasn't yet tried to grab anything out of my hand but he's working on it. If I get it close enough to him he will hit at the object. If he does get a hold of anything it goes straight into his mouth. He is following objects really well, big and small. He is also making lots of new noises and sounds. My favorite is his grunt. When he gets really excited or wants your attention he grunts at you. Very cute! Since he is 4 months old the Dr. said we could start rice cereal anytime we want so I think we are going to try just a little bit tomorrow. We will see how he does but look for pictures...I'm sure it'll be a MESS!

I have to finish with a picture of Colton and the pumpkin Daddy carved for him during the week at a pumpkin carving party.

Surprise Surprise... its an Astros pumpkin!
(Look at that round jolly little face!)
