Clement: 4 mos.

Clement hit the four month mark on Nov 29th.  We went to his pediatrician to discuss his eczema further, but I put vaccinations on hold until I felt like we had a better handle on whatever is already taxing his immune system.   

Regardless, he was weighed and measured:

25.5 inches long and 16 lbs, 9 oz.  That's up 3/4 inch and one pound from the prior month!
(As a reference, when Josephine was SIX months she was 25.5 inches.  And she weighed 15.5 pounds, which is what Clement weighed at THREE months.)  I don't mind him being big except for how quickly he outgrows his clothes!

October 31 - Early in his fourth month

Watching football with Daddy.  We don't have a TV up here and we try to keep him away from our laptop screens, but I think Sean would agree that he's had a good bit more accidental "screen time" than Josephine ever did.  Definitely the effect of being second born to parents who are too exhausted to be quite as vigilant with those kinds of things!

November 28 - Our bedroom lights get on his nerves.  Josephine's sunglasses helped so much I got tickled and had to take a photo.  Sorry, Clement.  

I have been trying to get a photo of him blowing bubbles.  He is a bubble blowing baby-- at least through his 4th month-- though it seems to be dying down now (as I write this when he just hit the 5 month marker).  Josephine was never into that, so I remember wondering what people meant about babies blowing bubbles.  Clement explained that to me.  

What hasn't died down is his appreciation for his johnny jump up... here he is November 25th... definitely has the hang of jumping now!
