My guys

How can I not love a guy who looks this good and goofy at the same time!?

Our little Zeke is now 4 months! He is getting really big really fast. I can't burp him against my shoulder anymore because he's too tall! I either have to hold him at an angle or sit at the edge of a chair and let his feet dangle down between my legs.
Here are his stats as of today at the doctor-
*Weight~ 13 pounds, 5 ounces (25th percentile)*
*Length~ 26 inches (75th percentile)*
*Head- 17 inches (75th percentile)*
He's our little bean pole baby!

Some facts about Zeke-
*NOT into the pacifier! He'd rather let you put it in and then pull it out while sticking his thumb in his mouth. He can do this in one swift move that's pretty impressive to watch.**He can roll over from his stomach to his back so tummy time doesn't happen much.**He SMILES all the time! If you look at him, talk to him, etc. you will see a smile that takes up his whole face.**He fights going to sleep. The best things to help him sleep are the swing and wrapping him up in two or three blankets.**Very few of his outfits fit him properly. The 3-6 month onesies are either too tight in the shoulders or they are too baggy in the stomach. His pants fit perfect for length but fall off his nonexistent hips and bum.**His hands and feet are ALWAYS cold. He hates socks and tries to kick them off so we have several battles each day.**He says "ma", "goo", "ah", "ahgoo", and "ba" clearly.**He is mesmerized by his hands! He watches them wave in front of his face, watches them come together over his head, and purposefully reaches for certain toys.**

Those legs he's stretched out on belong to his aunt who is 5'9"/10"!

Superman!!
I attempted to take a picture of the kids together. I thought it would be interesting to see what they look like side by side... yeah, that just doesn't happen with a two year old and an infant! But check out Zeke's 90s gangster style pants. Poor kid, maybe Santa will bring him some suspenders for Christmas.

Here's Zeke's latest trick!

So cute! He is soo tall. I think my Caroline is just a little younger then Zeek and she is 24 in.

Didn't you have the same problem with Rosalee and clothes? Mia hates to wear socks and recently won't wear clothes at all. She spends most of the day running around in her diaper. Oh well.

That video is hilarious. I love how quickly he gets from tummy to back. Precious.
