Hips should not be so loose that they flop that far to the sides on their own, although if pushed they should almost reach- however if baby is "stiff" AKA increased tone, should be evaluated by early intervention for hypertonicity- not recognizing toes at 4 months is not a big deal however should push baby's bent legs into stomach, bring hands to knees and then to fee, rub and touch feet often to get process going
