4 months old

Brooks had his 4 month doctors visit yesterday. He weighed in at 11lbs 13oz, and was 24 1/2 inches long. He jumped from the 3% to the 25%-50%! She said he is growing very well, especially in his length. The doctor described Brooks as being long and slim...wonder where he gets that?! There was a lot of excitement that came from the doctors visit. The last time she thought Brooks was about a month behind developmentally, and this time she said he was a very typical 4 month old. I asked her about teeth, and she said it would be early to see any teeth. But, sure enough...she did see some little buds in his gums on the bottom. No wonder he is drooling and sucking on everything!
Overall, it was very comforting to know that Brooks is doing so well.
Here is his latest picture in the chair, taken yesterday (his 4 month birthday). I went ahead and put some Halloween gear on for this month. He is getting so big in the chair! You can see how he is trying to sit up, but eventually he toppled over.

Brooks looks like he is going to be tall like his mommy and daddy. What exactly is his costume hat? We were guessing maybe an owl, but we weren't sure.
