Saving Some For Later?........................................

Four Months.....................................................


You are four months old! Wow! They tell you time flies and it is so true. It feels like yesterday that I was begging the OBGYN to just let me be done being pregnant, and reluctantly waddling out of her office when she told me I would have to wait it out. Four months have passed since we brought you home! You have changed so much and so have we.

You smile and giggle your days away. The smiles we can coax out of you, but giggles come all on their own. You have started "talking", Five to ten minutes spurts of oooooohhh, ahhhhhhh,ooooohhh, hiiiiiiiiii. We.love.it. We listen and respond to your little songs. Occasionally you will sing to us at night. We listen over your baby monitor as you wake up, sing yourself a little song and drift back to sleep.

Your most amazing baby talent remains, YOU ARE THE BEST BABY SLEEPER EVER! Seriously, thank you. In bed, asleep, by 7:30pm, rarely a whimper until 7:30am, amazing, thank you.

You still have rockstar hair, but it is slowing becoming aging rockstar was a small patch on the right is starting to fall out,leaving behind a gaping bald spot. We will love you even if you are bald.

Night time bath is always a riot. Typically we get one Graham provided rain shower, two splashes, and a drift of to sleep before we finish. Just like your Mommma you love a long warm bath. But, just like your Momma, you have the skin of a lizard. Long hot bath followed by several creams, lotions and ointments to keep you from shedding your skin like a snake!


Four months is when baby's are supposed to roll over, ahem, soo......any day would be nice.....just roll on over......come on....roll over..........................

We love you little boy! We see your personality more and more each day! We are so lucky to have you, and as November is a special time to give thanks. Thank you, thank you for being our son!

Milestone..........................................................


Halloween! You were a puppy! I was going to dress the dog up like a baby, but I was to busy staring at how cute you looked! (and, let's face it it's not the first time in the last 3 months the poor old dog has been forgotten) Yes, I used eyeliner on your 3 month old face to give your whiskers. Yes, that is totally fine. No, I will not make you wear eyeliner that often.

TUMMY TORTURE............................................


Listen to me Graham. You must learn to like tummy time. I am not kidding. Children half your age, weight, and size are rolling, not only over but all over the place. Tummy time is not going away. Scream all you want. We will keep it up. love, Mom. (p.s. You can do it buddy! The dog has been showing you how! If you would stop screaming for a few minutes while you are on your tummy you would have a chance to witness Remi and I rolling all over the living room trying to show you how it is done!)

THIS WAS HUGE.................................................


Introduction to rice cereal at 3 months 3 weeks. The doctor said to go for it, Grandma thought we should have done it months ago. Your Momma wasn't ready..... turns out I may have some weird, "I don't want my little boy to ever grow up" feelings, so get excited for how that will play out in your future! Oh, but you loved it and you eat it like a champ.
