Sometimes it is hard for me to believe that Kai is already 4 months, but other times it is hard to remember what life was like without him. Yesterday, Chase and I took him in for his 4 month well-baby visit. The trip would have been perfect if Kai wasn't super tired and needing a nap. However, he held in there as best as any tired 4 month could, and despite loud complaining and a few meltdowns in the waiting room and doctor's office, he made it.
For Nathan's mom, especially, I am deciding to write his stats since she loves hearing how our boys are growing. First, the doctor said he is very strong, has a good heart, and good lungs, and she can tell he is very vocal :). Chase and Kai seem to follow pretty similar growth patterns, long and skinny with big heads, but compared to Chase at 4 months, Kai is longer and weighs a little less. I think their heads are pretty comparable :). Kai weighed 13lb7oz, so he is getting lower on the weight charts, and his height is in the 85% at 2'2". His head is in the 76% at 17". Because his head is so big he tends to look overall more chunky, but if you get a look at his long, skinny arms and legs you can see it is an illusion. But the doctor isn't concerned about his slenderness since he just seems to be taking after our little family. He is healthy, and I am grateful for that. He is becoming more and more social, animated, and fun. He is also mellowing out a little, and acting way more easy going, thank goodness! I love this little guy to death, and love kissing his round little head and cheeks. I am so blessed to have two cute, fun, and happy little boys.
Now if only I can work on my patience level today. Last night I was up 4 times with Kai, and when I am acting on little sleep and Chase is throwing everything he can get his hands on, talking about a million things without ever taking a break, and crawling all over me, by the end of the day I have almost lost all sanity. We will see how the day goes. I just need to keep in mind how cute they are and that they are just little boys who need my love and attention :). Wish me luck!

You're not alone. I have to remember my patience with Ethan all the time, and often I'm not successful at it. But little boys really are so much fun :)
Good Luck!! I totally believe that patience is something we get good at, not necessarily something we automatically have. I'm sure you're doing great!
