Ninja Baby did very well at his 4 month check up on Tuesday, although his shots did make him grumpy but that is to be expected.
Here were his vital stats
Weight: 6.45 kg (14lb 4oz)
Height: 63 cm (25")
So everyone who answered the poll thought that he was taller than he actually is. NB growth was slower than expected (both height and weight) since December but the doctor is not concerned.

More pictures soon.

ETA (April 8): I thought I had posted this in February and was surprised to see it listed as a draft. Whoops.

Ninja Baby wants us to share some pictures of him in his new toy

As some of you may know NB loves to stand and move so the Jolly Jumper is perfect for him, we have been waiting to use it until he got the head and body control neccessary to be suspended from a giant spring.

We are also stealing an idea from WilyJeneric and conducting a poll (its over to the right). Ninja Baby has his 4 month check up on Tuesday. So the question is how big will NB be?
Some info to help guide your answers

• NB weighed 3170 g and was 51 cm long at birth (6lbs 15.5oz and 20") at birth
• At two months 5541 g and 60 cm at 2 months (12lbs and 24")
• When he was released from the hospital on January 14 he was 5150 g

There is a saying "double the birth weight by 4 months and triple at one year"

Some of these photos are from Christmas

After giving Number One Mom & Dad a couple of grey hairs, we are happy to report that Ninja Baby was finally released from a week long hospital stay. We don't know yet what type of virus (the most likely suspect: rota virus) it was that made our little guy so sick, but to us, that is secondary to the fact that he has recovered and is back to his smiley and giggly self (as you can see).




To celebrate good health and the inauguration of a new US President, we had this mock up of Obama's famous campaign poster made, featuring Ninja Baby. Visit http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/ to get your own poster made.



TTFN!

So here is a copy of the picture that we used for our Christmas cards this year:


And here's how many pictures we had to take to get the one good one.



Ninja Baby wishes you all a Merry Christmas. We will see you in the new year!

Here are some visitors from November.

I just thought I would let you compare these two photos so you can see how much Ninja Baby has changed in the past month.

He is growing like a weed (he has gained over 2lbs), loves to look around and to laugh and smile.
