I can't believe our little guy is 4 months old! It seems like yesterday that I was still pregnant and then that we were bringing him home from the hospital. How has it been 4 months already?! Time flies when you're having fun and that's just what we have been doing : )
He still loves his fingers and tries to see how many he can fit in at once, but he has his favorites in times of comfort. He also has a new found love with his toes and is desperately trying to get them to his mouth. He is getting sick of laying on his play mat and only stays there for a short time. I think he is in that awkward stage where he wants to play like a big boy but doesn't quite know how. He likes to sit by the toys hanging off of the mat in his bumbo seat or else just lay on a blanket and have Mommy or Dada play with him. He loves tummy time. He is "talking" up a storm! I am totally loving this stage and the "conversations" that we have. I get an instant smile on my face when I hear the chatter coming from his room in the morning and after his naps. A rested baby is a happy baby! I think his first word is going to be "Hi". I swear he is already saying it LOL He is sleeping between 10-13 hours a night. Sometimes he needs his paccy through the night and sometimes he doesn't. He now finds comfort by rubbing his head, snuggling with his blanket & puppy and listening to his bedtime music. We went to the Doctor on Saturday for his 4 month well check. He weighed in at 12 pounds, 11.4 ounces (4th percentile) and is 24.75 inches long (28th percentile). I was ready to get yelled at from the Doctor when she came in but she actually didn't seem too bothered by his weight. She said we could add a feeding in during the day if we wanted to since he is sleeping so long at night, but I've already learned (the hard way) with Seth that if he doesn't want to eat, he doesn't want to eat. If he is tired he will either fall asleep on me or will pitch a fit - neither one works for me. He is getting what he needs and as long as he is growing I am happy and couldn't care less about the statistics! She also said we could start introducing foods to him if we wanted to because his neck control is so good and he can "sit up" so well, but we are going to wait until closer to 6 months. I think Christmas will be the perfect time to try out some fun flavors : )

As always, we did a fun little photo shoot. If you saw the amount of pictures I deleted you would see what a busy little boy we have. So many blurs of him giggling or chatting and diving for his toes : )
"Okay, Mommy. I'll smile but I need my fingers, too."
"This thing, again?"
"Can I play with it this time at least?"
"And eat it?"
Timberrrrr...
"How's this, Mommy?"
I can't even....hahahaha
LOL!
My sweetheart <3
Too silly to give Mommy a tummy time pose, but we all know these aren't the last pictures I'll take of him : )
