4 Months Old

Taking a nap on Great Pap!


Let's see what all have you been up to this past month! It is amazing to us how much you change every day and how you pick up on something else!
-You love to be standing up on our laps now - you no longer want to sit - you've got legs and you want to use them! You love to stand up and bounce around on us.
-You stand and play in your activity center every day and have pretty much figured out how to play with all the toys on it.
-You constantly stare at Boone and Buster now when they walk by - if they get your attention you will not take your eyes off of them.
-Your sweet little coos have turned in to LOUD squeals
-You laugh, grin, and smile now all the time - especially when someone new gets in your face. You haven't met a stranger yet!
-You can grab on to your toys and rattles now and move them around - you grab everything with your left hand. We aren't sure when you know what hand a baby will be dominant with but we think it's interesting that you always use your left hand. Your daddy likes this because he says left handed people have pretty golf swings.
-You have definitely noticed the TV (sorry nonna)...we turn the cartoons on and you love to jabber away to the TV and squeal with excitement.
-You love taking baths - which is nice because I give you one all the time. You generally tend to smell like pee a lot!
-You have had rice cereal 3 nights now and it has yet to get you to sleep through the night.
-If you get a hold of our fingers or anyone's fingers for that matter they go straight to your mouth - actually this just isn't fingers - anything you get your hands on now goes to your mouth.
-You love looking at your feet and trying to get those in your mouth too.
-You have rolled over several times now - back to tummy and tummy to back.
-You love to be read to and even helped me turn the pages the other day - not actually but you did grab all the pages and turn them over.
-You still love the fan but now there is so much more that has your attention.
-You still love to cuddle to sleep but when you aren't sleeping you want to be up standing and playing.

Crazy that 4 months have gone by so quickly - we love you so much and get so excited to see all the new things you keep doing.
