Our sweet boy is 4 months old now!!!! He has gotten so long and I think he is going to be tall like his daddy. He is measuring at 26 inches long and is in the 88th percentile. Whoa! He is weighing in at 14 lbs. 12 oz. and is just growing so fast. Our pediatrician said he is meeting all of his developmental milestones great and that he is such a happy baby!
This month he learned to roll over from his stomach to his back and from his back to his side. When he is on his tummy, he pushes up as high as he can go and starts to look around. He is also starting to try to move his knees in preparation for crawling.
He started giggling just this week! That is the sweetest sound in the whole world. His first 3 months of life he would smile, but he was also very serious. Now, any time he sees me, his daddy, or any other familiar face, not only will he smile, but he will giggle or start talking to them! He loves to blow bubbles and will have a whole conversation with you for as long as you will listen.
He loves to stare at his bunny that sings "Jesus Loves Me" and will even talk to it sometimes. I tell him that the bunny is his best friend. He is starting to reach for things and holds rattles now (although he doesn't know he is holding them yet.) He loves his toy cow in his carseat and will stare at it and talk to it forever in the car. He also still loves to stare at himself in the mirror. I think he knows that he is the cutest baby in the world.
He is sleeping 10-12 hours at night and takes 3 naps a day. He is down to 5-6 feedings a day now. The pediatrician told us we could start him on cereal anytime within the next two months. He still seems pretty satisfied with breast milk, so we might wait for him to start acting hungrier.
He's growing up so fast! Aren't baby laughs the best thing ever?? I can't believe he is sleeping that long at night without waking up to eat! That's awesome! You are doing a great job. He is a cutIe!
