Here are the stats: 16 pounds 4 ounces
26 3/8" long - 90th percentile (4 month stat)
What a change between months three and five! Presely has become so much more aware of how his body works and how to move his hands, legs, etc to serve a specific purpose. This boy LOVES to stand up. When he is laying on his back we will try to pull him to a sitting position and he just pops all the way up to his feet. He has no interest in sitting when he can be standing!
Drool is a new and constant thing at our house. I don't feel any teeth coming in yet, but I think we will see some soon. Presley chews on everything, but his fist is definitely his favorite chew toy. He tries so hard to shove the entire fist in his mouth! He loves his hands and will look at them and then clasp them together and hold his hands and stare at them some more. It's a good thing Presley has Cy around because he loves to hold hands, so he has a constant buddy to hold onto with his brother.
We really are so lucky to have such happy babies. Presley loves to talk and laugh with anyone who pays attention to him. The easiest way to get a smile out of this boy is to kiss him. I don't know if it is the sound we make when we kiss him (exaggerated kissing noises) or if it tickles him, but he will laugh and laugh and laugh from getting just a few kisses. So we do lots of kissing at our house these days because there is nothing better than hearing Presley and his brother laugh!
He feels so solid in my arms and his legs in particular are getting very strong. Presley is still not really interested in rolling all the way over. He will roll from side to side but very rarely rolls all the way to his stomach. If he had his choice it would still always be to stand up. He just loves being on his feet. Sometimes I wonder if he will skip crawling and go straight to walking. He does like to sit up and the boy has some very impressive posture. No slouching over for him. He is pretty close to sitting on his own with no help from us, but for now he will do it for about 30 seconds and then gets tired and topples over. Maybe by Halloween they will both be sitting up on their own so we can get some cute pictures without having to hold them up!
