[Belated] official 4 month stats update

Oskar James Swanson
18.1 ounces heavy
26 3/4 inches long
Oskar is holding his ground on the upper end of the growth charts- 93 and 94% for height and weight, 99% for head circumference. Unfortunately we left the camera in Yakima and the computer still won't let us download pics so there are no new photo updates here. However, elsewhere on the web Oskar and Mark made the slideshow on the Covenant Annual Meeting webpage.

These three pics are me trying to figure out how to download pics from Shutterfly for a blog entry without including the entire album as a slideshow. Not quite there, but he's still cute!

Beautiful baby. Doesn't he look relaxed?

We have a 4 month (+ 3 days) old. 

When did that happen? Time has flown by so quickly I am in disbelief each time I look at Oskar. As soon as I delete some files from the computer so it will let me download new pics, I'll post some and you'll see that he hardly looks like the same baby we brought home from the hospital. (We're 90% sure he is however.) He's lost all of his original hair but the bottom inch at the back. If you're trying to picture that, imagine the view of your bald grandpa from the back. That's Oskar's head too. He is holding his head up high, grabbing things, putting everything in his mouth, drooling and blowing bubbles, laughing some, smiling and talking all the time (when he isn't staring at something so intensely you wonder if he's ever going to look away), and bringing us loads of joy.
