How can you possibly be 4 months old

already?

You are such a joy.

Laughing and smiling so much

I have started calling you

"Mr. Smiley".

You have amazingly beautiful blue eyes

that capture my heart.

You get so excited your arms and legs fly,

you scream and squeal

you no longer want to lay still.

You really have no interest in trying to crawl
because

you want to stand all the time.

You love your Johny Jumper

and are a brave little man,

giggling hard at being tossed in the air.

Milk is no longer satisfying you.

8-10oz at a time

and you still grab for our food.

You are outgrowing 6month clothes rapidly.

If you hear big brother

you stop what ever you are doing

and watch him

grinning.

Daddy makes you laugh the hardest.

You love to cuddle with mommy.
But in the mornings
when you used to crawl in bed with me to sleep more,
you instead now crawl in bed to
talk and laugh and climb around on mommy and daddy.

Starting to put everything to your mouth

loving blankies and stuffed animals.

Rolling all the time,

onto your tummy in the night,

waking up mad

so mommy rolls you onto your back

you fall right to sleep again.

Speaking of sleep

you are good at it!

Your usual~

8 hours, waking to guzzle down a bottle,

then back to sleep for 2 more hours

or until big brother

climbs in bed with you,

but you like that

so you wake happy in the mornings.

One long nap during the day

is all you need.

Your brother taught you how to scream.

You love to do this

to get attention,

especially from girls!
Grabbing mommy's mouth and nose
while eating your bottle
is your new favorite hobby.
(Besides playing with your toes!)

These last four months have been
so wonderful
now that you are here.
We love you
and are so glad you are our family.
love, the rockinryans
