Drew at 4 months

Even though Drew is almost 5 months, capturing some of his 4-month characteristics.

At 4 months, Drew:
- Weight is 17 lbs 9 oz (90% tile)
- Height is 26.25 in (90% tile)
- Head circumference 17 in (90% tile)
He is massive compared to Eliana and Ethan at his age!  Eliana was 14 lbs 12 oz at her 4-month check up.  It's insane how big Drew is!

- Drew still smiles at everyone he sees and everything he sees, including lights, walls, bright colors.  He is the happiest baby.
- He puts everything into his mouth, including fingers (ours and his)
- He loves Eliana.  Ethan is a close second.
- He loves his room and still does well sleeping (keep knocking on wood).
- He does not like the car, especially at night time.  "You are my Sunshine" keeps him mildly happy while getting fussy during car rides.
- He spent a good portion of his June/July outside camping, swimming with older kids and under his beach tent. He managed to not get the crazy stomach virus that landed 3 of the 5 Snodgrass family members in the San Juan  island ER.
- He does just fine at the gym daycare.  I wouldn't have dared take Eliana somewhere like that before she was one.  Drew loves it and sleeps soundly in the swing while Mommy does a quick workout or yoga.
- No rolling yet.
- Lots of screeching and squealing at things and people.
- Flat head is almost all gone, looking so much better.  Still using a pillow in car seat and crib to help, but those will be ditched soon enough.
- Loves to stand up on your legs or counters, loves using all his baby fat legs to help him hold his head up:)
