The past few weeks have been a lot of fun to watch, as Noah is now constantly rolling over from tummy to back and back to tummy with ease. He seems to now prefer being on his tummy so he can lift up with his arms and look at us. Of course, we applaud him and he enjoys being the constant center of attention and grins ear to ear after doing one of his rolls. Twice this week he's been on his belly when we get him out of bed. It's funny to see him on his belly, because he'll try so hard to move forward. He'll lift his legs up in the air (almost like he's skydiving) and rock back and forth but can't go anywhere. He's good at turning around in circles though.
We've also been moving his bedtime up earlier and he's sleeping about 9 1/2 hours a night now, which is nice. We were a little worried how he'd take to the earlier bedtimes, but he's really done well and still wakes up at about the same time. He's actually starting to wake up LATER in the morning now that his bedtime is earlier, even sleeping 10 hours twice this week.
We're so thankful that God has blessed us with a happy, healthy, and growing baby. Every day with him is a tremendous blessing! Here are his 4 month stats. He is well on pace to get some playing time on the defensive line for the VOLS this season!
Weight - 18 lbs. exactly (95th percentile)
Length - 25 1/2 inches (72nd percentile)
Here are some pictures and video from today's doctor visit that I took with my phone:
Ready to see the doctor
Playing on the table...as you can see, he ripped the paper sheet on the table to shreds!

How adorable!!!
95th Percentile? Our kids are on the 5%-10th% percentile... they're are like midgets to Noah. Given Ryan's (The Younger) disposition to be wild stunt man and laugh in the face of danger, I think he has a chance maybe for a special teams position.
Life changes again when he becomes mobile...
Those CHEEKS!!! Filling out, eh?
To add on to Terry's comment about when life changes:
- At mobility - Yay, because you don't have to carry them around anymore when they are 30lbs (of course ours might still be that seeing they are in the 10th percentile!). Boo, because you have to nail everything to the floor and glue the cabinets and drawers shut.
- When they start talking - Yay, because you don't have to try to mind-read anymore. Boo, because they either don't shut up, embarrass you in public, or they start talking back and put YOU in time out!
- When they potty train - Yay, because you don't have to pack a diaper bag that weighs more than the baby anymore. Boo, because you have to get up more frequently to take them to the bathroom (in the middle of movies and on long drives).
That's as far as I can go without going into theory! Cheers! Enjoy and you'll be so thankful that you have documented this so well. Be sure that you do the same with subsequent kids. They always get screwed...
Sorry Ry...
That's hilarious! Yeah, we're definitely enjoying each and every day for what it is, and not wishing things to rush by so fast. Thanks for the nice comments!
