4 Months, already??

My mister Marcus is now 4 months old! It seriously goes so quickly and i know everyone says that but it is so true! It has been so hectic trying to get Marcus into the doctor for his 4 month well baby check up. Since i am not on base anymore and i live more then 50 miles from the next base i thought that i was just going to have Tricare standard. Where i can go to any doc. that accepts that insurance, but i pay a co-pay and also whatever our insurance doesn't cover. I was super bummed about this because, although we are not on base Thayn is still in the military till October so i think it is only fair that we get to keep our Tricare prime, which is where we don't have to pay a dime. I spent a few days on the phone with a lady who works at Hill Air Force Base and she helped so much and we got all our insurance crap figured out and we do get to keep our Tricare prime. We got assigned to a doctor in Grantsville. I was so thankful for that because i don't have transportation right now and i wanted someone really close so that if i need a ride it won't be a hassle.. and there weren't any doctors in Tooele that were able to take on Tricare prime. So after that is all said and done, i got Marcus into the doctors. He weighed 14 pounds and 14 ounces and was 25.5 inches long. He is perfect in every way! He got his shots that day and barely even cried. He was so tough!! The next day he ran a little bit of a fever but i just kept him on tylenol so that helped. He has been eating rice cereal for the past few weeks and he eats it so well. He sits in his little bumbo and waits patently for his food. I still am breastfeeding, i plan too till he is atleast a year. I still give him some formula. He is at 5 ounces. He is almost rolling over from back to front. He is so so close he just can't get the one leg to cooperate and turn, its so cute. He wants to stand on my lap all the time! I can never get him to just sit. Everyone thinks he will be an early walker. He loves tummy time. He loves to play with his toys and to put them all in his mouth. He thinks my phone is fascinating. He is starting to not really care for binkies. He LOVES being outside. He has been going through a different sleep schedule but its not bad at all. He wears 3-6 months and most 3 months clothes are getting snug. He smiles and laughs a ton. Bathtime is still one of the many favs. He is getting too big for his bath tub.. He sucks his thumb. He now grabs my food when im eating. He is in size 2 diapers. He has found his feet and they are his best friends. He loves to be in the car. There is just so much that i could go on about.. but my little munchkin is now awake so i will have to update later, adios!
