Fisher at 4 Months

Fisher started rolling two weeks ago. He's also started placing everything in his mouth. Here are his stats from his 4 month checkup:
Weight: 17 lb. 13 oz. (93rd percentile) Length: 27 3/4 in. (99th percentile)
Fisher sporting his Tee from Grandma Brenda. The size: 6-12 months. He's outgrown all of his 0-6 months clothes now!

Some friends got Fisher this cute outfit for Christmas. Here's the back side.

And the front side.
(The lump by his left eye is either a cyst or part of his birthmark, which apparently is very common for babies. We've been watching it for a few months now and it hasn't gotten any smaller. We're taking him to a specialist soon.)

One of Fisher's many darling looks.

A bun shot.

Some "air" time. He loves it.

He can really get the bouncy seat rocking these days--kicking his legs up high. Check out those cheeks from the side.

Thunder thighs!

Some family time on the bed. Part of our nightly routine is dancing, then play time on the bed, then a bath, and finally to bed.

Here he is dancing on the floor. (He loves to kick and fling his arms along to music.)

Cuter than the Gerber baby.

Who wouldn't love that face!

"Reading" a book.

When the weather permits, we try to get Fisher out for some different stimulation. Here we are with some friends at Titletown Brewery.

Fisher's First Christmas and Other Good Times

He's a real jokester now, so the t-shirt is definitely fitting. He laughs, squeals, and talks all the time now. I can't think of a better way to spend my days than hanging with him.
We took Fisher to dinner with us (and some friends) on New Years Eve. He was awesome. We were there for 2 1/2 hours and he didn't cry once--just sat back and chatted the whole time.

The two of us on New Years.

Acting all saucy with his bandana. I love Neko's face in the background (it used to be Neko's bandana--I think he's jealous.)

I love this one--when we pick him up while he's sleeping he keeps his legs curled up to his tummy. And check out that face!

My cute boys.

For some reason, Derek loves placing towels on Fisher's head, and Fisher doesn't seem to mind.

His new favorite spot--on Daddy's shoulders.

Clearly, he's been hanging out with his Daddy a little too much over break.

Fisher meets his Great Grandma and Grandpa Lord.

Fisher with his cousins on my side of the family.

Checking out his new doll Christmas morning.

Fisher's first hotel stay. We had to make a stop over in Dubuque on our way to Iowa for Christmas because of bad weather. He really is a game changer.

Mr. Funny man.

Begging Daddy not to go back to work.
