4 Months

Happy 4-month birthday Magnus & Ragnar!! We celebrated their birthday by having their 4 months well baby checkup.  It went well and our pediatrician is pleased by their progress.  Go babies!  Here are some pictures from their 4-month photo shoot & our observations from this past month.

Magnus:
  • Weight: 12 lbs. 15 oz - 25%
  • Height: 24.6" - 50%
  • Head Circumference: 16.6" - 50%
  • Size 1 diapers
  • 0-3 M and 3-month clothing
  • Has a flat spot on the back of his head from looking to the left while sleeping
    • Dr is aware and not concerned at this point.  We do exercises and stretches with him to get him looking to the right.
  • Still a HUGE fan of mirrors
  • Laughs in his sleep- actually WOKE himself up by laughing the other day
  • Sucks on his fingers to soothe himself and rubs his head while falling asleep
  • Rarely keeps his pacifier in- likes to pull it out and throw it across the room
  • Lifts his head and legs up and balances (rocks) on his tummy during tummy time
  • Reaches and grabs for toys and brings them to his mouth
  • Strings coos together “uh-oh”
