Well, he is actually 4 and a half months now, but who is counting? I took him in for his well-baby check up and learned that he is our monster! This baby boy is now in the 67th percentile for height at 25.5 inches and 44th for weight at 14 lbs 11 ounces. That is pretty promising for a family of pudlies!
I actually went back and looked in Aimee and Porters baby books and learned that Pratt is approximately the same size as Porter was at 7 months, and Aimee at 9 months. What has it taught me? Don't buy too many things ahead of time until you know how closely your baby follows the sizes. Just when I thought I had it figured out... So Pratt continues to be a super happy little guy. Although, he recently learned to roll over in both directions, but sometimes gets stuck on his tummy. He handles it pretty well for a few minutes, and then he starts to get testy. Lucky for him, Aimee is quick to answer is distress calls. When he gets up in the morning I nearly have to beat her off to keep her from mauling him to death!
She likes to help undo his diapers when I change them, and is a pro at feeding him, if I need her help. Last night he did about 13 and a half hours. Don't worry, that isn't the norm. Usually it is about 11 hours, and I am not complaining! He has had a couple of little growth spurts where he got me up in the night, but for the most part my little Pratt man is super sweet to his mommy. One thing that is not perfectly pleasant about Pratt is his drooling. I have had people ask me if he is an early theether. Nope, he is just very well hydrated and wants the world to know. He loves to sit or stand up, and that means a wet ring from the top of his clothes to his belly button. If I am holding him, I too either have a wet shoulder, or spit streaming down my arm. It isn't my favorite thing about him, but it is a defining characteristic at this point. While I hate to see each phase end, I am loving watching my little Pratt man grow!

He's so adorable! I can't believe he's already over 4 months- so crazy. It is funny how different in size babies can be! :)
