Shepherd Thomas, 4 months

length- 27 inches
weight 20.5 lbs
head- 44

he measured the same this time.  We had a different doctor who was sure he has grown in length this month but says the developmental nurse we saw last month always measures 'big'.  He is off the chart in weight but 90-95 for length.  Big, healthy dude.  She said his trunk was strong which is surprising given his size.  He is such a sweet baby.  He has been sleeping through the night for about a month which is shocking considering that the other two were both over 1 yr and had to be weaned to sleep through.  He is a fairly inconsistent napper, made worse by how we drag him around.  He likes to sing and the minute I sit down in the rocking chair, he starts 'singing'.  He is the kind of baby who puts his face against yours and snuggles although he seems to get bored easily.  No wonder- he's used to wildness.  Beau loves this baby.  He talks to him when I leave the room, plays peekaboo and uses this extremely annoying baby talk voice ;) when Shepherd is fussing.  I think Leland sees him more as an inconvenience but he's still sweet to him and is always asking who is going to take care of him, is he going to be ok etc.
