Month 4 - A month in Pictures

Because Mommy is lazy, unmotivated or just busy, here is another monthly update in pictures, almost 4 months late.  But don't worry little one, we've been loving on you and living life to the fullest these 4 months and I will get these posts up to date soon!  

4 month chair picture.  look how happy you are!  Your dimples light up my life.

You're sleeping in the little lamb.  This thing has been a life saver for mommy!

I have so many pictures of you napping in mommy's arms.  I just love it.  You look so peaceful.

And you love your daddy quite a lot.  I think you might even be a Daddy's boy.  Your eyes light up the minute he gets home from work.

Happy Easter!  Your First Easter!

Looking like a big boy sitting up in the chair.

Getting a little big for the little lamb.  Found a new snuggle friend in Mr Giraffe.

Look at that hiney.  You still absolutely love bath time.  You even created some bubbles of your own! 

those hands are always in your mouth.  Mommy thinks you might get teeth soon.  (but she'll later learn it took another 3 months)

Sleeping on your back (because back is best) you rubbed off some of your hair.  Mommy thinks it is kind of funny, and cute, the perfect little line you have on the back of your head.

Naptime on the play mat - you konked right out!

Mommy and Daddy took a little trip this month.  They were gone for 3 nights.  They missed their sweet boy, but enjoyed getting away for awhile.  Bama and Miss K made sure we had plenty of pictures while we were gone. 

sitting up in the bumbo playing with the play mat toys - a new adventure that you liked!!

Mommy loved this picture - it almost felt like you were looking right in the camera saying "Hope you're having a good time Mommy.  I miss you, but I'm having fun here, too!"

We started with rice cereal this month.  Rice only lasted for a few days and then we moved on to oatmeal.  Your delicate little digestive system did not enjoy rice.  It took a couple days to get you regular.  But you loved eating cereal off the spoon.  You knew instantly what to do with it.  This was the first time in the high chair.  You are getting so big sweet one.  And you're starting to show signs of independence.  You really want to do it yourself.  That or you like the feel of the spoon on your gums.  I think it's the former and Mommy and Daddy are going to have their hands full!!

Mommy bought you a new toy, but you're still a bit too little for it.  You still enjoyed jumping for a few minutes.  I think you'll really like it once you grow into it.  And Mommy will really like being able to keep you contained!

Love this picture!!

Daddy introduced you to the iphone and Baby Einstein.  This was a Saturday morning spent lounging in bed.  So fun.  Minutes later that phone was in your mouth.  Nothing is safe around you!

See, I told you, you really love your daddy!

At our friend Aidan's birthday party.  You were having so much fun.  You were giggling up a storm as Mommy raised you in the air and Daddy said "boo".

Having SO MUCH fun!!

Hands free passing of the paci.

JW got Mail

Add he really likes his new toy!  Thanks GiGi Rose and Hal!!

Other things to note from this month:
We've switched you to just the sleep sack, no swaddle and you seem to have handled the transition well.
We've tried various versions of a schedule for you and I think we've settled on 8 oz bottles at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm.  You have your cereal with the 4pm bottle.  This seems to be working for us.
Mommy had her first Mother's Day.  It was a nice day!  Thanks for making me a Mommy!  I love you.
You have found your private part.  I am not sure you know what it is or how it functions, but your hand shoots down there the minute the diaper comes off. 
You attended a wine tasting this month.  You were a champ in the bjorn while Mommy and Daddy tasted wines. If you're keeping track, you've now been to a wine tasting and a beer tasting.
You seem to be sleeping better, and even through the night some!
We finally caught your giggle on tape.  Mommy wrote about it here.
We've started Skyping and FaceTimeing with family - its great to be able to see them in "real time"


Until next month love......
