A Post a Day to Try and Catch Up-Brady's 4 month old stats

Brady hit 4 months old on December19th.  I took him into the doctor to check a few things on the 15th but they wouldn't let us do his official 4 month checkup/immunizations a few days early.   We ended up having to schedule and re-schedule again so finally he got in yesterday(30th). Colton ended up taking him and forgot the pacifier and bottle but Brady did so well and only cried for a few seconds after his shots.  Lucky for daddy!

Yesterday:
Weight-15 Ibs. 11 oz. 50% (on the 15th, 4 days shy of 4 months he weighed 15 Ibs. on the $$$)
Length-26 1/4 in. 90%
Head Circumference-44.3 cm. 90%

His head circumference has earned him the nickname, "Chief Little Big Head." :)  And he is definitely the chief around here!

He also has several other nicknames...the child with many names:
-Dill Pickle (when he is ornery I ask him, "What's the deal, dill pickle?"
-Crabby Patty (also when he is pitchin' a fit)
-Chicken Nugget
-Baby Bird
-lil' muggle
and anything with "stink" attached to the end of it.  Heaven forbid we should call him Brady!

He is chattering, squeeling, smiling, using his fingers to grab things and pull them to his mouth, sits up with help but not alone quite yet, starts to arch his back when laying on the floor, and he used to roll from belly to back.  He did that at 9 weeks but he can't do it anymore.  My guess, his head is too big now! :)   He is so long (always 90th %) and flirts with the 70th percentile for weight...lot's of people have told me bigger babies sit up, roll over, crawl a little later since they have so much mass to try and move.  I love his little guts and keep begging him to stop getting so big, so I really am ok with his average development. It doesn't bother this momma in the slightest!
