Just the other day at bathtime, I witnessed them "playing" together for the very first time - as Brett playfully splashed his brother, Zack started kicking his legs, smiling and very pleased with himself for splashing back at big bro. I need to remind myself of this precious little moment down the road when the two little maniacs have flooded the entire bathroom with tub antics.
Today was Z's routine 4-month checkup, and here are his stats:
Weight - 16 lbs. 12 oz., 90th percentile, gained exactly 8 pounds from birth.
Length - 27 in., 95th percentile, grown nearly 6 inches from birth.
He has been rolling from back to tummy for a couple weeks now, and looooves clasping things in his hands-often *our* hands as we try to manipulate a toy or binky. Little stinker is just reminding us how we are quite literally wrapped around his little fingers.
Today was a special milestone, too - after getting the OK from the doc, Zack got his very first taste of solid food. He ate up the whole serving at lunchtime, so we tried it again at dinner...same results. Go guy! We may have taken it a little too fast on his first day...he was a little uncomfortable at bedtime, poor thing. We'll just do one serving tomorrow. Guess he's taking after his big brother, who is known to shove ALL his favorite food in his mouth at once - entire slices of bread, dozens of grapes, etc. Little eating machines. What are we going to do in thirteen years?? Oy!
