Four Months

You are changing more and more everyday! You laugh and smile so much these days. You love to hear yourself scream and you are always trying to talk - non-stop, you can really be a little chatterbox! Especially in your crib in the morning, you will just talk and talk to yourself in there for quite awhile. And then you get even more excited when I go into your room and get you. You have found your feet and toes and you love to play with them. You also love to eat your hands! You can hold a lot of your toys now and you already have some of your favorites. You can roll over onto your side and you have really learned how to move around in circles on your back. I love the smiles you give me when I get home from work, they always make my day so much brighter!

Time to Start Eating!

A couple weeks ago I tried some plain cereal with you and you didn't really like it, but you took some spoonfuls. Later on in the middle of the night, you threw it all back up. So I figured out you were not ready and to wait. Yesterday I thought I would try again, but you really didn't like the plain cereal. Sam was eating some pears, so I spooned out some of the juice and mixed it in with your cereal... now that you really liked! So this evening I mixed up some bananas with your cereal and milk. At first you were not too sure, but after a few bites, you really figured out that you like it and when it didn't come fast enough you were fussing for more! Guess this marks the beginning of you starting solids!

There are a couple pics in Ben's 2008 Pics.

And here is a short video.

Circles

You have figured out how to turn your whole body (on your back) around in a circle. So when Daddy went in your room to get you this morning you were turn the opposite way in your crib! You do this in the living room too when you are playing. Seems you are already learning how to get where you want to be!

Three Months

You are three months old today and are cuter than ever! I had to go back to work a couple weeks ago, but when I come home and you see me, your fact lights up and you have the biggest smile for me. It just makes my heart melt. You are making all kinds of noises now, cooing a lot and laughing and smiling all the time. You love to smile! You are starting to turn yourself on your back a little bit now too. So you are not always in the same spot in your crib when I lay you down. I brought the highchair out and you love sitting in there and watching me make dinner in the evenings. You love to watch TV, especially Sam's cartoons! I think that you are almost ready to start eating some cereal in a couple weeks. I can't wait to see if you like it or not. You are growing like a weed it seems too, I love how chunky your legs are getting and your adorable checks. Pinching them it one of my favorite things to do!

Laughs and Smiles - Video

You have been smiling for almost a month now and you just started laughing recently, which is sooo cute! I finally caught it on video!

Such a Hard Day!

From looking at this picture you would think that you had a hard working day or something! You really didn't take a good nap during the day and once Daddy got home and was holding you, you just passed out on him.

Two Months

In the last month you have really started to show some of your personality. You smile all the time now, and you are so cute when you are smiling. You have let out a couple little laughs too. You are cooing more and more, I just love the little noises you make. You have discovered your hands and always seem to have them in your mouth. I think you just might be a thumb sucker like I was when I was little. You are more awake now during the day and you definitely like lots of attention when you are awake. Sam just mesmerizes you, you love watching and listening to him play. You are sleeping great at night. About 6-8 hours straight, then just up to eat and right back to sleep for a few more hours. You are changing every day, and this is just the beginning.

Little Laughs

This evening you were laying on the floor next to the kitchen while I was cooking dinner (normally you don't like having to just lay there while no one pays attention to you). This time you seemed to be watching everything I was doing and you were just kicking your legs away and you were all smiles. I leaned over to give you a little tickle and you gave me this adorable little smile and then a little laugh! It sure did seem like a little laugh, especially since you did it again a couple minutes later too. It was such a sweet sound, I can't wait to hear it again...

First Smiles

Within the past week you have really started smiling a lot! Most of the time when someone smiles at you, you will smile back at them. It is so cool watching you interact with us!

First Christmas

This of course was your first Christmas. You are only six weeks old, so you had no idea what today was all about or what was going on. You got to get held a lot by everyone and I am sure that you enjoyed that! You got a lot of fun toys that I can't wait for you to be able to play with. You did get one thing that you started to use already, a new chair to lay/sit in and toys that dangle on it for you to bat at. Merry First Christmas!
