Little man, how is it you are four whole months old already?
You are truly a delight to be around and your smile is truly infectious. You are already winning the hearts of everyone who meets you. It is a smile that lights up your entire face, as well as the faces of those around you.Soon after you had your three month birthday, you really "found" your hands. Before that, they would occasionally find their way into your mouth, but now? Constant. And holy cow, kid, you are LOUD when you are nom noming on them! You are grasping things (especially your giraffe-blanket stuffed animal thing) and bringing them into your mouth.
We have JUST recently heard you giggle for the first time. You are constantly cooing and making noises that sound like trapped giggles, but you laughed at Alexys on Monday night for the first time!
Mama got excited and started you on a bit of rice cereal. At first, you cried and hated it. But now, you open your mouth for the spoon and lean towards it! Your pediatrician has cleared you to have cereal for breakfast and another solid at dinner. We tried peas and you actually didn't seem to mind them too much! We also put together your jumperoo, but you are still way too short for it and still too small for your highchair. During dinner you hang in your Bumbo or bouncy seat with us and laugh away.
We thought you had an ear infection last week so took you to the pediatrician. Your ears were clear but your gums are swollen and you are, in fact, teething! At your 4-month appointment, you weighed 14 lbs, 7 oz and shot up to 25 inches long! You are finally on the charts for height and are in the 50th percentile for everything.
Little man, you brighten each day with your smiles and there is nothing I love more than being your mommy. Thank you for being so amazing.
And with his pretty sisters at my in-law's house for dinner:
Here are my pretty girls again:
Little man waiting for his apples at my parents' house for dessert:
The view of his closet from the rocking chair:
His changing table. Note the Little Brother pillow. His biggest sister made it for him!
Changing area:
Artwork from Etsy seller Potatopatch. LOVE! I was going to post a close-up but realized his last name was on it. And I am just too lazy to play with Photoshop right now.
No denying these words!
We would be adding another kid to the bunch!

Well, the girls are back from their mom's house so gone are our days of leftovers for lunch! And our food bill will once again rise. I swear, I am sometimes shocked and appalled by the amount that these kids eat!! I have the Mexican Lasagna already prepped and in the freezer, along with some other items for next week's dinner. It feels great to have most of our stuff ready for the next week as well!
