drum roll please...

At four months and four days Ari weighs in at an impressive 19 pounds and 6 ounces. Whew! no wonder my back is always sore. He is 26 inches long. Stay tuned for updates on his first tooth which we are pretty sure is well on its way.

You can't spoil a 4-month-old, right?

Waking up every hour or two at night to comfort and feed him. Holding him 90% of the day. Putting off homework, housework, and fun projects to smile and talk nonsense to him. Learning how to do everything with one arm so he can rest in the other one.

It is all worth it.

Besides, he deserves it. He will have to be a big brother someday, or the soul target of my constant worry and smothering affection.
