Today was Emerson's four month checkup. Everything is looking good. One stand out stat we received was his 75th percentile for height. He weighs about 14 lbs 7 oz.
Emerson pretty quickly rolls over to his left side when you set him on his back. He'll hang out on his tummy for a bit before getting upset. He doesn't seem to want to roll over on to his back, so we usually pick him up or roll him back over. Related to this - he has excellent neck strength. Though he can't sit up by himself, he can definitely hold his head up just fine.
It's really easy to get Emerson to smile. He is making more laugh noises now which is also really fun. Another thing that gets him to smile without fail is the Super Man. I lift him up over my head with his body parallel to the floor. I look up at him and he smiles as big as he can. It's the best.
Let's see... what else? Oh, we found out he likes the pacifiers with the funky shapes. Nooks. That was a golden thing to figure out. It calms him, keeps the drool off his body, and keeps his fingers out of his mouth. After all, it seems next to milk, knuckle sandwiches are his favorite meal.
I suppose lastly is he now has more hair than his dad!
