youre 4 months old now. youre still very new, but i miss my lil newborn squishims.
youre becoming such a person these days.
laughing and talking. learning new things. you just started smacking your tongue a few days ago. its cute. i have no idea where you picked that up from though. maybe its a first sign of being ready to eat soon. you show us your interested in our food now. your still too little to try things, but soon my son, soon. we cant wait for you to start trying food.
you hold your own head up now. nobody has to help you. you love sitting. and standing is your new fav thing to do. although we dont do it too much. your bones are still too soft to hold your own weight.
you try to feed yourself. you can do it for a little while, but than your hands go "crazy" because you dont have great control over them yet. you still do rapid movements which tell me youre not quite at that stage yet.
you still have no interest in rolling. but thats just fine. i do pressure you into trying though. its probably my fault. most days i forget to even give you tummy time. although lately, youre more tolerable to be on your tummy.
you love sitting in your bumbo seat. now that you can hold your own head up with the least bit of wobbles, you get to be in it more frequently.
this past month, you went on your first away from home vacation. we went to sudbury. where you were born. we visited all our friends and some family. you transitioned very well. considering you didnt have your bed, you did excellent. you still slept through the night, but for a shorter time. 7-8 hrs instead of your normal 10-12hrs.
youre back on tract now that we're home. :)
this month was a sad month for you. you have a really bad case of dry skin. the dr. called it winter skin rash. he put you on 3 creams. they dont seem to bother you. cept the first time i was rubbing it on your head you stuck your fist into the jar and got it everywhere, haha.
you still a little comedic. always laughing and smiling. you tell stories, and you love to hear gurgling sounds.
you like to be tickled and kissed all over your face. you laugh and coo.
you did something funny to mama this month. i will never forget it. you were sleeping on me and we were sitting in the lobby to our building. theres cameras there, so whoever was watching saw this in action. as you slept on me, i felt a warm gush ... you peed all over me. even though you had a diaper on, i was soaked. mom grabbed you and changed you, and i just sat there drentched in pee. i laughed and laughed. after mom changed you i went to get you to take you home, so i could change, and you puked down the side of me, shoulder to toe. oh boy was i laughing now.
its the begining of a new year. i wonder what 2011 will bring? you will accomplish many things. crawling, walking, eating and the list goes on. some days i have to tell myself to slow down, not to feel rushed, because i want to enjoy every waking min with you. but im just so excited i can hardly contain it.
who would have ever thought, YOU baby boy could make my entire world wonderful. youre a joy to be around and everyone wants a piece of you to savour forever.
i love you baby. more and more each day.
xoxo
