Happy 4 months!

Little man is 4 months old!!! Here are some of his 4 month growth pictures and milestones! At his 4 month checkup, he weighed 14 lbs 10oz and was 26 inches tall! Growing boy! That is 2 pounds heavier and 2 inches taller than at his 2 month appointment.

He loves grabbing his feet!

He doesn't stay on his belly long these days, he flips himself right over 

I think that this picture actually looks like me when I was a baby

Happy 4 months sweet boy!

Some things that he is doing now:

1. laughing--- what a sweet sweet sound, right now it takes some effort to make him laugh, but it's so worth it!

2. chewing... on EVERYTHING---  fingers, fists, shoulders (I have the hickey to prove it), toys, sadie's toys (oops) ...you name it, it goes in his mouth

3. cutting teeth--- I can see the tooth shaped holes on the front bottom two teeth where they will pop through, which means lots of fussing lately. 

4.  hugging--- well, i qualify it as hugging, he loves stretching his arms around me and burying his head into me. it melts my heart.

5. grabbing... EVERYTHING--- again, like with chewing, you name it, he grabs at it. toys, hair (Ouch!), anything in his reach. He figured out his jitterbug toy on his carseat handle, so I will be driving down the road and hear him pull it and it jitter, over and over again. 

6. singing --- i know it sounds far-fetched, but he really does "sing." I noticed it one day a few weeks ago when he was really sleepy and I was rocking him, he began talking as he normally does, but in a different way. He was stringing his sounds together and making his voice go up and down and was doing it very softly, much different sounding than his normal talking voice. He sings himself to sleep quite a bit now, and it's the sweetest thing because it is so tender.    

He is doing great developmentally, he smiles at people he recognizes, talks a lot, and is really starting to understand the concept of "playing."  Still no progress on the sleeping, although he is napping has improved a little bit. It will come in his own time I suppose.
