Scott is 4 months old!

I've skipped a lot, but I'll try to give you recent news, then catch you up on what you've missed.
Scott weighs in at 15 pounds, 8 ounces (50%) and is 25 1/4" long (75%).
Jared was 14 pounds, 1 ounce and 25 1/2" long at this point.  We were also dealing with Jared's reflux by this point, so he wasn't eating as well or as often as Scott eats.  Scott still eats every 2-2.5 hours during the day, but gives me longer stretches at night.
Scott found his thumb finally, which makes him really happy.
Last week, Scott rolled over from his belly onto his back.
He is in the super drooling phase where he soaks through 2 or 3 bibs a day!
He coos a lot, and seems to have conversations or sing along with songs.
His skin is so smooth and soft - I forgot how wonderful baby skin was!
He loves being around people, so he can see the action.
He's very good at wiggling his legs and pelvis.  You have to be careful when he's on your lap, that he doesn't slide right off!
He takes good naps and is a good sleeper at night.
He loves to check out what his big brother is doing, but sometimes gets a terrified look when Jared gives him a kiss or a hug.
He has great head control, and is really improving his balance while sitting. I think he will be sitting up all by himself soon.
He is picky with his bottles.  Most nights he will take a bottle, but not every night.  And the bottle giver has to be walking around with Scott for him to take the bottle.  Steve is not thrilled with this.

Steve got off of crutches in the middle of December after 8 weeks.  He has been going to physical therapy twice a week, and his walking is greatly improved.  He is happy that he is able to get up and play with Jared again.
