4 months Old

This is a little late :) Seamus turned 4 months old on April 15th and we went to the doctor for his 4 month check up on the 20th. He is getting so big!
Here are his 4 month stats:
Height: 26 1/2 inches (95th percentile)
Weight: 16 pounds 9 ounces (90th percentile)

We realized that he has already outgrown his Graco infant carrier. Luckily we another carrier that he
can still fit in as well as a convertible car seat. I really don't understand why they would make an infant carrier that
is only for infants up to 26 inches. I mean aren't most babies longer than 26 inches before they turn 1 year old and can be
turned around in their car seats. It just seems silly. Luckily the Graco car seat was a hand me down from one of Chad's sisters,
and we have the larger infant carrier that we received from the baby shower. So when it comes to registering/buying things the next time
around we will be sure to check the weight and height restrictions of whatever we buy. I would recommend to anyone that is expecting to
check the limits and go to the store and try out the strollers and look at everything before you register or buy anything.
OK, that was my little rant, now back to Seamus...

The doctor said that everything looked good he is a big boy and growing the way he should be.
He keeps doing new things everyday, he is still sleeping on his tummy, and sleeping SO much better than when he was on his back.
He is really trying to scoot on his tummy and reach his toys when they are just out of his reach. He also has the sweetest little giggle and loves to smile, laugh and flirt with everybody.

The weather has been so great lately we have been trying to get some walks in since Seamus loves to be outside and feel the breeze. I am so excited to take him to the beach this summer!

Here are some recent pictures:
On Friday we took a little family stroll and Seamus wore his shades since the sun was so bright! He is the coolest kid around!!



On Saturday we took a family outing to the grocery store and Seamus had his first experience sitting up in the shopping cart. He loved it, and this will make our lives so much easier for him to just sit in the cart!!
