4 Months, I Say

How can Mateo be four months old already?! He keeps growing - pretty soon, he'll be heading off to college...just as soon as he masters rolling from back to front!



Mateo has been enjoying his last week with Mommy before she heads back to work. Mommy will be more traumatized by the change than he will! This week, Mateo went shopping, walked the pups, went to PEPS, enjoyed the sunshine, and spent lots of quality time with mommy. He has been enjoying tummy time in the nude, although we're sure he'll live to regret these photos some day when mommy breaks them out to show his future significant other. ;-)



Mateo went to the doctor today for his 4 month checkup. He is extremely healthy! In fact, he's at the top of the charts for head circumference, weight and height. He weighs 16 lbs 10 oz (83rd percentile) and is 26.5 inches long (94th percentile). The doctor said he's as big as a six-month-old! Whoa Mateo! No wonder he's growing out of his 3-6 month clothes already. What a little bruiser.



He's such a fun little guy - he's spent the last weeks mastering new skills, like grabbing his rattles, throwing toys on the floor, chewing on his toys, shoving his entire fist in his mouth, and playing the annoying music on the Exersaucer over and over and over and over and over. Good times! Mateo definitely rules the roost in West Seattle!
