He's rolled over both front to back and back to front, although neither Chris nor I have actually witnessed it happen yet. We've put him down to play, on the floor or in his crib, and when we come back, he's flipped over. When I put him down on his back, he has started rocking back and forth and pushing with his feet - he isn't crawling yet, but I think he probably will soon.
At four months old, he's learned the sign for "eat". He doesn't give it consistently yet, but he knows what the word means and will give the sign to me about half the time. He also knows what "up" means - When I say it and hold out my thumbs, he will grab them both and pull himself into a sitting position almost entirely by himself! We're also giving him "diaper" and "more", but he doesn't seem to have figured them out yet.
He loves to bounce! He's very strong, and his legs are HUGE, so bouncing seems to come naturally to him now. We were home visiting our families two weeks ago, and my mom pulled out the Johnny Jump-Up I (and my sister, and my brother) used when we were babies:
He's burbling, mostly open vowel sounds, although since about two months old he's consistently made one that sounds awfully close to "oh, good". He's also learned how to blow raspberries! Those are always fun in public, lemme tell you :)
Stats: as of two weeks ago, he is 27 inches long, 17 lbs and 4 oz. His length is off the charts, and his weight is in the 95th percentile. Some people don't believe me when I tell them he's only four months old! He's gotten heavy enough that I can no longer carry him to the store, although I still carry him around the house and if we take the bus downtown.
And, of course, he just keeps getting cuter every day!
