4 month update!



Weight = 15 lbs 11 oz. Length = 25 in

Skills I have mastered:

Rolling over back to front or front to back is easy for me now. Although I still prefer mainly to roll on my side and stay there. If I roll onto my belly I can pull my arm out that was trapped under my body now.
I can babble lots of different baby noises but don't think I will be saying any words for a while yet.

Stuff I am working on:
Holding onto items. I can grab things like my pacifier or toys but its hard for me to hold on to them. So I drop them and then cry because I lost my item!
Sleeping through the night - I still sleep from about 8:30-9pm until 4-5am. Not to bad I think but for some reason mommy and daddy want me to sleep a bit longer.

Likes:
Going for walks is still my favorite. I get to meet lots of other kids & dogs on my daily walks.
I like to be read to, I currently LOVE "Where the wild things are" I crack up laughing every time mom reads it. Perhaps she will record me laughing at it soon.
I like to stand up, in fact I have an exersaucer toy now that lets me stand up and play which is a lot of fun.
I like to talk on Skype, I now get to talk to both my grandparents once a week which is fun! And a couple days ago I talked with Aunt Debbie and her twin babies on Skype!

Dislikes:
I don't like it if there is no one in the room to look at. If mommy or daddy get out of my line of sight I cry.
I don't like waiting too long for food (what baby would!) and I can get fussy for a few minutes while I am fighting the urge to nap.

Its been a great month, the next month should be just as exciting including a trip to Maryland to meet my Gram and Aunt Debbie's family, seeing my Uncle Joe play rugby, watching lots of Gator Football and helping my Aunt Heather move into a new house. I am going to be busy!

I can't believe he's 4 months old already. He sure is a cutie.

Wow--so much accomplished and so much yet to do! I like your outfit--if it still fits in November you can wear it to the volleyball matches. I can't wait for you to meet Alberta!!
