Our littlest one is four months old! Man, how time flies. He is already doing so many things! He likes to stand (with help of course, but he can support his own weight). He cries in the car - a lot. The only thing that keeps him from crying is a "Wheels on the Bus" YouTube video played on Mommy's iPhone or Daddy's iPhone wannabe!
He coos, and laughs, and smiles and screeches a lot! He likes to hang out in his Baby Einstein - if someone will kneel over him and talk to him while he does it. He will hang out and watch the mobile in the crib for 10 minutes or so if he is in a good mood - and you can even leave the room for part of it!
He loves to have his diaper changed! It feels like his happiest moments are on the changing table. He smiles and coos - and the more naked he is the better!
He likes his babysitter Christina the best! She has a real feel for little ones like him. Today we went to music class and Christina held him during class (and helped him stand for most of it). He really liked it and was making little laughing and screeching sounds for most of it! And I didn't even have to pay or him because he is so young!
I think he is about 16 pounds and change now - we shall see on Friday when he has his 4 month physical and Jac has his 18 month one - with Dr. B.
He doesn't sleep well during the day - and gets over tired. He is sleeping better at night - some nights better than others. Most nights we get one good 4 hour stretch in.
He loves to nurse, but he is starting to go longer between feedings - now maybe 2 hours during the day.
He is growing like a champ and has legs like tree trunks. I have definitely seen fatter babies but he is just solid.
He can hold his head up - really well. You still have to support his trunk when you are carrying him but for the most part you don't have to worry about his head.
He can sort of sit - sort of. He lists forward and to the sides if you let go. I think he has the strength but not the balance.
He can hold his head up when he is on his tummy for several minutes. When we did it tonight he held his head up for 2 minutes! Wow! He even makes motions like he is trying to soldier crawl when he is on his tummy.
He drools - a lot - and puts his fists in his mouth. Today I think he was staring at my bagel! I don't think it is going to be too long before he is grabbing for our food.
