Our little guy is 4 months old. It is hard to believe it has been so long since we took him home, and even harder if you consider that the Coming Home outfit still fits him…well, it was a little big then, but still. We had our standard check up and everything is well. The doctor commented on how strong and reactive he is, so we are happy. He is still following his grow curve, that places him on the 5 percentile for his weight, but someone has to be at the bottom end of the normal range, right? So these are the magic numbers:

weight: 5.1 Kg (11.4lb)
length: 61 cm (24 and 3/4 in)
head circumference: 40cm (15.7in)

He got his second round of immunization shots and again he reacted quite well: just a low grade fever in the evening. Everything else is great: Keegan is a very happy boy, who loves to smile. So much so it is hard for mom and dad to feel special, since he smiles to everyone.

He can now be carried facing forward in the baby Bjiorn, and he likes it quite a bit. He went on walks, at Costco and the grocery store: he always elicit compliments and smiles. He even fell asleep in it a couple of times. He still appreciates punk rock more than any other music. Talking of rock music, mom and dadare planning on attending a couple of cool shows coming up in the next months.We are interviewing babysitters, and so far we have found a couple of good ones. Keegan sees to like them.

What a handsome pair

On other news, Tizi went back to work on Wednesday. it was not easy to go back to “normal” life, and to leave the little guy, but she was also happy to get back to a job she loves and to the people she missed. Everyone has been very supportive and made her feel missed and appreciated. This eased the transition. Now it is just a question of finding a new routine and the time to prep for class everyday.Usually Matt drop keegan off at daycare and Tizi pick him up aroud lunch time, when she gets off work. This is a great schedule, because he can still spend quite a lot of time with mom in the afternoon. With the beautiful days we had been having, this often includes nice walks on the bay or at the beach, or hanging out at the park.
