Hey, look at this four-month-old!
month one, month two, month three
weight: 15 pounds, 9 ounces
length: 25.25 inches
head: 17.5 inches
hair: wisps
Oh my gosh, this boy. He is the smiliest, dreamiest little cuddle bug. Well, not exactly little. He’s in the 50th percentile for weight and 97th for head circumference. I’m getting serious muscles toting this kid around. My cheek muscles are getting a lot of work, too, because it’s impossible not to smile when you’re around James.
His chins and chub are coming in splendidly. Luckily, the extra weight doesn’t seem to be slowing him down. He loves sitting up (as long as he’s leaning against something), looking out at the world. He’s not quite rolling over yet – he’ll stop about halfway through a roll and then looks at me as if to say, “This is good.”
He is definitely teething. He puts everything he can in his mouth and chews on it like it’s his job. When he went in for his four-month check, Dr. Looove’s med student inspected James’ mouth, but didn’t see or feel any tooth buds yet. I want them to pop through so he won’t be uncomfortable anymore, although I’ll miss that toothless smile.
His favorite person is still his sister, but he has a smile for everyone. When the nurse came in to give James his vaccines, he smiled at her the entire time, even during the shots. I’ve never encountered such a happy person, but I hope he stays this cheerful forever.
I can’t believe he’s already four months old. This sweet little boy has made us all so happy.

He is so angelic. He reminds me of Maddie.
vicki says:
Adorable!
Expat Mom says:
Ah, look at that little personality shining out! He’s absolutely adorable and makes me want to reach through the computer screen and squoosh him!
Dorcas says:
James is cute and all, but Heather … the Dodgers won the National League. I get it, James is 4 months and that takes precedence, but not even a Dodgers onesie to pay homage?
Last year we had to hear a whole lot about the Giants … I was SURE we’d start getting some “Dodgers are awesome” posts soon …
Stacey says:
In my opinion he’s sweet, loving attitude has a lot to say about his home-life. You and Mike always appear to be such great, loving parents but not knowing you one never knows. However hearing (and seeing in pictures) how happy a baby he is, reassures how warm, loving and open-armed his family is! Just my view of course
PattyB says:
He’s just gorgeous. Already a lady killer, I can see it. I can also see both Maddy and Annie in him, especially when he smiles. I can’t wait to see him this time next year!
Java says:
Super cute! He is the perfect combo of Annie and Maddie!
Christina says:
He is wonderful. Your family is wonderful. I found out I’m pregnant a few weeks ago and we had our ultrasound and actually heard a heartbeat, which I never got to experience with 2 prior miscarriages. Seeing the baby James pictures makes me so excited to meet my baby. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face!
Heather says:
Oh, congratulations! I am so excited for you!
Michelle H says:
Is it possible to so adore and love a baby you’ve never met? I just treasure all these pictures and watching him grow. Thanks for sharing his cuteness with us all!
Melissa says:
What a cutie pie! That second picture he really looks like Annie too! He really is a great mix of Maddie and Annie.
Jamie says:
He’s absolutely adorable. He looks exactly like…James.
Meg says:
Such a darling!
kelley says:
He is so adorable and looks like both of his big sisters. One of the highlights of my day is seeing photos of your kids, they make me smile too!
Sara says:
He makes us happy too! Such a sweet guy
Jess says:
I don’t want to be one of those people who tell you how to raise your child but you may need to check into that offshore gambling thing… I’m pretty sure that’s some shady business for a 4 month old to be into. You must hate your baby. Everyone knows you should wait until the 6 month mark for that stuff!
Laurie says:
I can see a perfect mix of Maddie and Annie in his face.
Paula says:
This sweet little boy has made us all so happy.
That? Makes my heart swell with happiness for you!
Jeanie says:
He is so adorable. Sometimes I see Maddie and sometimes I see Annie when I look at his pictures. He’s a perfect combination of both.
Melissa says:
Aww, he looks like such a sweetie. I love the pic with his tongue sticking out
Mommy says:
His dimples!! His nose!!! Those blue eyes!!! He is a dream!!!
Sorry about all the exclamation points. Your babies are all just so cute, I can’t help myself!!!
