4 already?

Spudly is what your daddy calls you, because your soy formula makes you smell of potatoes. In the last month your appetite has become voracious. You are growing at super speed and already wear 12-month clothes.
At your 4-month check-up your stats were:
16.8 lbs 95%
25in 85%

The rolling over has begun and I can see in your eyes that you can't wait to do what you see big brother doing. In fact, he is your main source of entertainment and as long as he is playing around you, you don't cry unless you are hungry or tired. Reaching and grabbing is gaining accuracy every day and I swear you have a vendetta against my hair. The wonderful drooling stage has begun and you take full advantage by spitting and making raspberry noises even in the midst of tears. Despite our rough start, you are sleeping so well. You average 5-6 hours before waking to eat and on a rare occasion you'll go for 7!


Yes, you are our ginger baby and generally more laid-back than your brother, but the difference in emotions and sensibilities of this little sweetheart are definite. The range of faces you can make really are a wonder of nature and as parents we share in the gamut from pure innocent excitement to a pitiful little weep that would bring a grown man to tears.

Everyday we are surprised and can't wait to see what's next little Dempsey.
