you love:  standing on our lap and bouncing, tummy time, rolling over (just back to belly right now), interacting with people at all times, and being held.

you like:  Daddy.  He's finally not making you scream.  In fact, he's quickly becoming one of your favorites!

you hate:  being in one place for too long.

~~

You're still the most loving baby I have ever met, and everyone notices!  When you look at us, you look into our soul and love just beams right out of you!  

The greatest thing that happened this month is the way you've taken to your brother.  You watch his every move and he truly is your entertainment.  You'd rather observe him jumping on the couch than play with a toy any day.  Your head just bobs along side to side as he moves.  You even calm down when you hear his voice.

But speaking of toys, you love those too.  Your favorite is your Sophie the Giraffe but you also love your football (which looks pretty natural on you) and other teething toys.  Everything I put in your hands you bring right to your mouth - and if you don't have a toy, your fingers or your toes are in there.

You've really found your voice this month!  You squeal and yell and talk more than ever.  Sometimes it's so loud I have to plug my ears.  Another boisterous boy!

 We moved you into a crib - you had long outgrown the co-sleeper.  You look so comfortable in there and most nights you scoot yourself around into the corners and your arm will hang through the bars.  I've got to get one of those breathable bumpers for you!

On the subject of nighttime.  Have you heard of the 4-month sleep regression?  Yep, you've plopped yourself right down in it and aren't looking to leave anytime soon.  Your new nighttime regime is going to bed at 8, waking up at 1, then again at 4.  Most times I can get you back to sleep but Patrick will wake you up at 5.  And Mommy has been up since 4.  It's great...

Overall, you get more fun and more wonderful every day.  Your heading straight for my very favorite baby age of all time - five months!  

I love you to the moon and back.

xoxo & Happy Four Months.
