Ben is four months old

Ben is four months old today! He weighs 10 pounds, 2.5 ounces (<1st percentile), is 23.75 inches long (4th percentile and 30% of the way to Chris' adult height) and his head circumference is 15.75 inches (8th percentile). Ben is very alert much of the time, but still takes many naps a day at unpredictable times. He started going to bed earlier - at around 7:30 - this past week. He is relatively calm, or maybe it's just because his cry is milder than his sister's that we feel that way. He still eats only once during the night. He loves his pacifier, though still tries to suck on his hands. Ben has been coughing much of this month - probably a lingering virus. Unfortunately, when Ben coughs, his eyes bug out and he seems like he's choking, which he's not, but still sometimes scary! He likes to blow bubbles. Ben likes laying on the playmat, and just recently seems to be interested in baby toys (like a rattle, or rings). So far, he also does great in the car!
