Big Mack

I forgot to update everyone after Mack's 4 month appointment. He weighed in at a whopping 19lbs. and 27in. (Emily weighs 23lbs.) That puts him in the 95% percentile for everything including his head. I think he must get his big noggin from my side of the family, but we all know what they say..."Big head, big brain." Dr. Doug thought it would be smart to go ahead and start him on solids now rather than waiting until 6 months. I thought this would make him bigger but the doctor informed me that he wasn't getting full on formula which has alot more calories than baby food, so by feeding him solids he will be satisfied and eat less (at least that is the idea). So far he is enjoying it. He is such a sweet little guy. He is so mellow and even tempered (most of the time) and he is our most cuddly baby. He just loves any attention and will sit by watching and waiting for someone to acknowledge him and then shower them with smiles and giggles when they look his way. We think he has alot going on behind those big blue eyes. This picture is a little outdated but it shows off one of his new discoveries...his tongue. He is also rolling over and starting to figure out that he has 2 really cool attachments that he can grab things with and put into his mouth. If anyone has figured out a way to make babies stay babies I would love to know about it.
