Happy Four (and a half) months to E!!
Your Profile
At your four month doctors appointment, you weighed in at almost 15.5 pounds - and are off the charts in terms of height! Your length along requires that you are already wearing 6-9 month clothing, even though you aren't chunky! You are long and slender, but you have precious little chub rolls on your arms and legs! Your doctor says that you're close to on the money for weight, and very healthy, but that if we can fatten you up a little bit, that'd be great too! You still get up 1-2 times a night to eat, and since we're trying to add pounds to you, that's a good thing!
Things you Learned
This month, you learned how to roll over from your tummy to your back, although you're pretty content to just hang tight and wiggle. You're also very close to being able to roll from back to tummy. You learned how to grab toys (and faces and pretty much anything else), you are drooling up a storm and "pre-teething." You also are starting to notice people more - mostly mommy and daddy - but also other babies and other people, and books and toys. You are one of the happiest, most smiley babies around most all the time - and we love to make you laugh because it is so stinkin' cute. You oblige quite readily - for us, or really anyone. You are starting to be really interested in watching us eat, and as always, very interested in watching your big brother. You also talk a lot - and love to babble with us!
Your Firsts
You took your first airplane ride this month - flying down to Virginia with mommy for her "hendig" reunion with college friends. You did great on the flight - except for when our overly friendly seat-mate poked you with her very long fingernails. But that would made mommy cry too. :) And you had a fantastic time playing with mommy's friends babies as well as touring University of Richmond and meeting some of mommy's professors. Super fun to see everyone again!
You started going to the nursery at church this month - which makes it much easier to hear sermons now, since your chatter and wiggles aren't limited to home! And you also went to the Children's Museum for the first time when your Grandma D was in town.
Things you Like
You still LOVE your johnny-jump-up (and anything that allows you to move around). You LOVE bath-time, and the silly faces that daddy makes at you - you really, really like your daddy. You thoroughly enjoy going for walks outside in the stroller, and you still like the Ergo, even though you are starting to prefer to be able to wiggle around and see more. You're still a snuggle-bug most of the time, and want to be around people always. Your FAVORITE thing of all is your big brother - you light up so much when he's in the room. And he loves you a lot too - especially loves trying to carry you and giving you big bear hugs, which you take in good humor!
We love you so much, little man! We can't believe how lucky we are to have you in our family! You bring so much joy and delight - and oh so many smiles!
