We had Bear's 4 month appointment on 2/2/12, a little later than his real 4 month but we got it done.
First and foremost, he is healthy.
His spitting up? Not an issue unless he wasn't gaining or was losing weight.
His sleeping only 2 to 3 hours at a time at night? Annoying but not an issue.
No interest in rolling over? Also not an issue.
The Doc complemented him on having such a sunny disposition - yep, Bear has transitioned into being a little ray of sunshine. He is super smiley, giggles a lot and is generally a happy guy. When he wakes up, he is all smiles.

He is my little Shrinky Dink. But the Doc said he is growing well and that the fact that he is falling on the curve is nothing to worry about. Besides, the curve is a little skewed because there are both formula and breastfed babies on it and most (not all) breastfed only babies grow slower than formula fed babies.
So today, on this beautiful sunny day, I am thankful for:
My healthy baby
His sunny disposition
His melt your heart smiles
Sunshine outside
An awesome run with Trooper and the stroller
