Of course, he is still as adorable as can be. He is such a smiler and we love it.
He likes to talk and babble. He makes the cutest little noises. He isn't really chatty, but he will have a conversation with you. He speaks more with his body by kicking his legs, flailing his arms and smiling. His eyes are so expressive. And he loves to laugh.
And, he is super slobbery. Really, a lot of slobber. When he had the stomach flu, I took him into the doctor because I was worried about him becoming dehydrated. The doctor was telling me the symptoms and what to watch out for. During this conversation, Guard was sucking on his fist (which he is constantly doing) with slobber dripping down his chin and ribbons of slobber from his mouth to his outstretched hand. The doctor looked at him and said, "I don't think you need to worry about him being dehydrated. That is a slobbery baby!".
The only time his toes are uncurled is when he is standing up (with help). He loves to stand and does not, does not, does not like to recline. He will sit, but prefers to stand on your lap.
Guard rolled over for the first time when he had just turned 3 months old. He surprised me and he almost rolled off the bench on the houseboat at Lake Powell. He rolls from his back to his tummy and then he is mad. He really doesn't enjoy being on his tummy.
His brothers and sister adore him. They love to play with him and make him smile. Gavin is so willing to help with Guard whenever I need it. Enoch and Kate will sit and play with him and smother him with kisses. He is spoiled with love. I wouldn't have it any other way. He is so easy to love!
At his 4 month check-up he weighed 14 lbs. 5 oz (25%), his height was 25 3/4 inches (75%) and his head circumference was 41 1/4 cm (21%). His weight was down a bit from the stomach flu a few days earlier, but he is also a bit on the skinny side (he is more of a Fowler).
