Denver's 4 month check-up

Denver is doing well. He is still spitting-up (you can see it on his clothes in just about every photo), but not as bad, so I guess the medicine is working. The dosage is based on weight so it won't be increased for a little while yet. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he outgrows it soon.
He weighed in at 15 lbs!! We are up to the size 3 diapers now - our little chunker. He is 25 1/4" long and his head is 42 1/2" (like Katelynn his head is at the top of the percentile with length in the middle, and even though he seems really chunky, he is still only around 30th percentile for his weight).
Here he is at 15 weeks. He loves to reach out and touch toys now. He hasn't mastered the concept of holding them, but he does bat away at them.
He seemed as if he was having trouble getting his head up while on his tummy...
 
but then not even a week later he was doing this move...
He manages to inch his way all over the room, and if he's not inching on his tummy he's rolling there!
He has been rolling from back to tummy and back again. He rolls all over the place!
 
He's been sticking his tongue out and blowing lots of bubbles this month. He is holding a rattle in this pick, but that's because I put it in his hand. :)
 His other new favorite thing is to cuddle with this blanket. He likes to pull it over his eyes when he sleeps.
Crystal is letting me borrow her bumbo since Makayla doesn't need it. Denver does well in it although if left in it for too long (longer then 5 minutes) he'll start spitting up.
 
Can you see Katelynn in the background stealing his toys?!
He likes being propped up as well (again, can't leave him like this too long). He really, REALLY likes it if while he's on his back he grabs your fingers and you pull him up to sitting and then lower him back down. He laughs! I think he might like those roller coasters some day!
One wonderful afternoon this month both kiddos took a nap at the SAME time! It is very rare for Katelynn to nap these days, so to have both of them out at the same time was just wonderful!!
I've started sitting Denver at the table with us while we eat so that he gets used to it. We'll start rice cereal at the end of June (around 21/22 weeks).
 
He seems to really like it. :)
I also put him in the bouncer. He sits in it funny though because only one leg reaches the ground, but it doesn't really matter since he stretches both his legs straight out and jumps in the seat. It's really cute to watch!
 
Here is a shot of him snoozing away (with his blankie!).
And here is a shot of Chris and Katelynn before he left.
And I'm trying something new. Here is a short video...we'll see if it works or not. If it makes the e-mail too big or hard to read for any of you let me know and I won't put one in again...just thought I'd try it. :)
