He's getting pretty good at his ulnar grasping. He can pick things up (usually by accident), grab his blankets and rags, etc. It's fun. He's also a pro at holding his head up now. He seems super long to me. He's not quite 4 months and he fits almost all of the 6 month clothes. I know he weighs over 15 lbs. His feet are almost too big for the 0-6 mo. and he's already wearing 6-18 mo. socks! He's going to be tall like his daddy. Also, he is finding his voice and will experiment with sounds. He loves looking at himself in the mirror. I try and do tummy time everyday, but he can't stand being on his tummy more than 3-4 min. at a time and starts shrieking if he feels it has gone too long.
These are my interpretations of the following pictures. Isn't he cute?

What cute pictures! I think "Thoughtful" is my favorite.
It definitely sounds like he's teething to me. I had another friend who's baby started teething at just over 3 months! So, it's never too early.
Love the pics. It's possible he's teething, but just as a heads up, Garrett starting doing the same thing (excessive drooling, extreme hand-to-mouth magnetism, etc) when he was just shy of 4 months, but we haven't seen a tooth yet...and he's 7 months now. The doctor told us at his appointment at about the same time that started that it was "pre-teething." Still, though...could be a tooth...I guess you'll know for sure in a few days. If it's not a tooth, maybe a growth spurt? I imagine those can be uncomfortable. :) Garrett's a long, lean baby, too. While up top he's fitting 6-9 month clothes fairly well, he's requiring 12 month sized stuff on the bottoms. Long legged boys!
Actually, it seems as though he'll have a long body as opposed to long legs. He was able to wear 3 mo. pants almost a month longer than the 3 mo. tops! Both of his grandpas are like that, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is too.
so cute!! he is getting sooo big! not soo early to get teeth by the way..coming from the rdh...some babies are born with them! good luck with everything!
You had your first tooth break through at 3 months. Is that a sign of an overachiever? :}
Ha. that makes sense though. I read somewhere that tooth development is hereditary.
It could be teething-4 months is about right, though I've known some toothless 12 monthers-but it could also be an ear infection. With a baby, it is anyones guess...
He's totally adorable! I love all their littel faces at this age...they start becoming such little people!
We had several months of "pre-teething" behavior as well, but they say 3-10 months is normal for a first tooth to appear. Anyway, it always makes you feel better to be able to "explain away" the crankies and teething is always suspect, right? :)
Ahhh. Cute baby, Celia. He looks a lot like Nathan did as a baby.
P.S. all my babies got their first teeth about four months, usually drooling and cranky for a month. Jake was 3 months when his first tooth popped through!
