4 months

While Porter was turning two...this little guy was getting bigger as well.This guy is 4 months old, and he's growing like a weed... or two.
We had his Dr.'s visit last week and the nurse had to double check his length because he is getting so big... she just couldn't believe that he's grown so much in two months. In just 4 months this guy is now weighing 16 lbs. 6 oz. and is 26.5 inches long. That puts him in the 80th percentile for his weight and the 93rd percentile for his height.
Looking back on Porter's 4 month visit, we can see just how big Bridger is getting. At this point, Porter was 14 lbs. 2 oz. and 25.25 inches long. Our pediatrician guesses that Bridger will catch up to Porter in about 5 months if this pattern persists.
Bridger is such a good little baby.

He sleeps perfectly through the night at least 8-9 hours (and has been for a couple of months).
He can roll over, both ways... making him mobile. He can roll across the floor pretty quick.
He smiles all the time.
He's very content and only gets fussy every once in a while. And, if he is fussy, he calms down pretty quickly just by being held.
He still likes to be swaddled.
He can sit up on his own. Still pretty wobbly though, and when he gets excited he kicks his legs out which knocks him down, but he can sit up on his own for a while.
He giggles (while awake and asleep, it's very cute...I recommend hearing it).
He has a soft crinkly frog book that he inherited from Porter that he will sit and chew on for hours. Loves the frog book.
He likes his big brother and laughs at Porter's attempts to entertain.

Oh... and he's got the sweetest little chubby cheeks I've ever seen.
