Four Months...with a Mohawk!

We had our 4 month pediatrician appointment today and here are the latest stats:

Height: 2' 2" (86th percentile)
Weight: 15lbs 10 oz (54th percentile)
Head: 16.85" (82nd percentile)

Still going strong with a large head and Zach is loving that he is "tall".  He continues to be healthy and right on target.  Well, healthy now....he was sent home from daycare last week with a fever.  Zach came home and took his temp several times that day and he had no fever.  I stayed home the next day and did the same....we think he was faking it.  He didn't have a temp and was all smiles all day.  We think he wanted some extra TLC and we were happy to give it to him.  I guess this is just pay back for all the times I told my parents I was "sick" as a kid.

Sporting his Vikings jersey for the game on Sunday...


 
He came home last week from daycare with a mohawk...he does have the perfect hair for it as he is pretty bald on the sides of his head with all the hair on top!


His nickname at daycare is Mr. Num Num because he constantly has to have something in his mouth.  His favorite thing to suck on?  His fist, of course!
 
Every day brings new sounds.  There is nothing better than waking up each morning to a new squawk or shreek....I just wish it wasn't always at 5:30am!
 
We are anxiously awaiting Papa and Ya-ya's visit for Thanksgiving next week.  I am busy getting the grocery list ready for the big meal.
 
We have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving - our little turkey brings us so much joy each and every day.  Happy Thanksgiving to you!
