Big Headed Children

I guess it's inevitable. We have big headed kids. I took Jonah to his 4 month check up last week and he's doing great. Healthy, happy, on the right track. His head... 98th percentile people. We have a genius on our hands! I can feel it! I mean, you've got to have a large head to hold all those brains right? Right??? There is one hindrance to such a large head though, he doesn't quite have the tummy-time- head up-pushing up with hands-thing down yet. He'll get there though! He's average for length, but a little on the skinny side- but again, I'm not worried. His reflux is pretty well under control. He's been a little under the weather since going to daycare, but that's to be expected unfortunately. He's a HAPPY baby. Loves to cuddle with mama. Only wants a pacifier when he wants to fall asleep. Is playing and reaching for things. Rolls to his side, and can just about get to his belly. The girls at daycare says he does, but I wont believe it until I see it. :^) He LOVES taking baths, especially with his big brother. He loves to talk and make noises and suck on his little fists. He's found his feet. He likes to be sung to, he thinks it's pretty funny. He likes it when daddy scares him. He likes to "talk" to daddy too, Ryan will ask him a question and he'll smile and nod his head or sometimes shake it. I know, coincidence but it happens EVERY TIME. haha! He loves to watch Ben. He and Ben are starting, just barely, to interact with each other and it's awesome. I can't wait until they have that solid brotherly bond and when they get to laugh and play together. We both swear Jonah hates being a baby and just wants to play, play, play and be a bigger kid.
We fed him his first rice cereal, but he's not really in to it yet. We will try again in another week or so. He ate it- but he doesn't get it really. He's sleeping pretty much from 8:30ish-6am... on average. Not always, but most nights he does. We're finding it's harder to get him to sleep when we're out, he likes to know what's going on and see around him despite how tired he is. He snorts when he's mad. He's taking about 6oz in the bottle mixed with a little cereal for his reflux. Again, he's a very happy baby. I love his little cute cheeks and kissing them and he actually likes it when I do it too, which makes my heart warm and fuzzy. He's got beautiful eyes and a happy disposition. We are so blessed to have two beautiful sons of God that we "get to" take care of.

Julia's head is in the 3rd percentile! I guess we'll have to see whose kid is smarter...ha, ha, ha. :)
