Four Months Old
Raleigh turned four months old today, and he had his four-month check-up this afternoon. He got two shots and an oral immunization. These are his stats:
Weight: 15 lb, 6 oz (62nd percentile)
Height: 26.5" (94th percentile)
Head: 17.5" (95th percentile)
Raleigh had a very eventful fourth month. He learned to roll over both ways, discovered his feet and his right ear, and laughs and smiles all the time. Sometimes he's shy and hides his face after smiling at us. He loves to play with his bug rattles and baby gym, look at his mobile, play in his bassinet (and now his crib) and take baths. Well, he pretty much likes everything, except for us using the snotsucker on him in the middle of the night. We call him our "Sunflower Baby."
Raleigh also started daycare, got his first cold, and passed it on to Leanne this month. Raleigh has been congested for 2 or 3 weeks, which has taken its toll on all of us. Our great sleeper has been waking up every 3 or 4 hours at night. :( The doctor told us to hang in there (and, of course, see him again if Raleigh shows symptoms of something more serious). We have been very disciplined with the humidifier, Vick's and snotsucker. We think we're past the worst of it, so hopefully we'll have a nice, relaxing weekend this weekend and feel 100% by Monday (before he catches the next bug going around daycare!).
A typical day in the life of 4-month old Raleigh begins around 8 when he wakes up. Leanne feeds him while Erik gets ready, then Erik plays with him and dresses him while Leanne gets ready and packs Raleigh's bag. Erik generally drops him off at daycare, and Leanne picks him up. Raleigh eats three 4-oz bottles during the day and (about half the time) starts his last nap of the day on his way home. We get in two feedings and about an hour of playtime/bathtime in before bed. Mom and dad rush to bed as soon as Raleigh's asleep! He used to only wake up once at night, but now it's up to two or three times.

Crib
With Raleigh nearly four months old, we decided we should move him out of his bassinet and into his baby bed sometime soon.

Rockin' Rollin' Raleigh
Two firsts happened today. Raleigh rolled over, and his dad wrote a blog post. This is actually not the first time he rolled over, but he was kind enough to give an encore as soon as dad could grab his phone to record it.
