King Arthur and His Round Belly

Today, Arthur is four months old. Last night, he weighed in at 21.6 pounds. He's a big boy.

Arthur's latest tricks include grabbing his feet and rolling on to his side. Over the weekend he managed to roll from his side all the way on to his stomach. This feat has not been repeated, but not for lack of trying.

Unfortunately, he has regressed from champion sleeper back to his newborn habits. We've had a hard time getting him to sleep at night and he's been waking up to eat every two hours or so. Sigh. I did appreciate it while it lasted, I just wish it had lasted longer.

He's also been a bit crankier and not quite his fat, cheerful self. He's been drooling a lot, so our default scapegoat of "teething" may be the culprit. Wish us luck.

Arthur still LOVES Helen. Even at his crankiness, a little attention from her is rewarded with a big, drooly smile.
