Yesterday was Luke's 4 month appointment. He weighed in at 17lbs, 25.5inches, with a head circumference of 17.5 inches. So, Luke has only gained half a pound this month. He is now only in the 90% percentile. :) That is usually the way things go for breastfed babies- they plump up early and gradually thin out.
I think that Luke has not gained much this month mainly because of all of his activity. He LOVES the jumperoo. This morning he jumped for 20 minutes. It looked like a workout, and he smiled the whole time. I am away again at the Jones's to help out, but I will try to get Nathan to post his latest jumping video.
I am not sure yet if I am too fond of the jumperoo however. Now when I try to feed Luke he jumps against the chair. When I hold him on my lap he gets fussy until I let him stand up so that he can bounce on my legs. I am getting great arm muscles holding him like this. He just wants to jump all the time. :)
Luke also can sit up now with very little support. He may sit up on his own by the end of the month. So many changes!

LOL, you've got it backwards, Katie. You should LOVE the jumperoo, because it gives him a chance to jump without you needing to hold him while he does it. Babies at this stage want to jump no matter what you've introduced them to - it's just part of their growing and learning to use their legs!
