I Found My Feet!

I found my feet and love rolling around while hanging onto my toes.
Happy Grandparents Day!
I'm 4 months old today too!

4-Month Stats

I went in for my 4-month check-up today.  Here's my stats:

Weight: 12 lb. 6 oz. (25th percentile)
Length: 24  2/3 in. (73rd percentile)
Head: 15  2/3 in. (26th percentile)
BMI: 14.2

I'm eating like crazy and getting very tall....long and lean, as Mommy and Daddy like to say.

My Photo Shoot

Mommy was having fun with the camera today!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Mommy's birthday was last week!  These are some pictures of us before she went to work that day.  She took the afternoon off to play with me, and then she and Daddy went to the Tampa Bay Bucs football game that night.  I stayed with a babysitter, Mary, for the very first time.  I was very good, but Dakota was a bad dog.  Mary said it was harder to watch Dakota than to watch me. Guess Mommy and Daddy will have to pay extra when they want to go out. 

Hangin' with Dakota

Dakota and I are becoming great friends.

Hand-Eye Coordination

I'm getting pretty coordinated when it comes to grabbing objects.  I love my Leo the Lion taggy stuffed animal and wrist rattles (although I don't like to wear them) from Grandma Kristi.  Here I am getting ready to grab the frog rattle.  I'm also getting good at grabbing onto Mommy's hair....still haven't figured out how to let go very easily.  Mommy's wearing her hair in a ponytail a lot these days.

Rough Night

One night last week I was just not tired.  I woke up four times during the night, and then at 4am, I decided enough was enough, and I was up for good.  Then we had lots of fun - Mommy and I played and read books all morning.  She kept saying that she had a "rough night," but I thought it was great.  Daddy took these pictures of us around 6:30 before Mommy started getting ready for work.  As soon as she left, I took a long nap.  All that playing really made me tired.

My Morning Routine

When I wake up in the morning, usually between 5 and 6, but sometimes as early as 4 or as late as 7, Mommy and I play for awhile, I have breakfast, and then Mommy has to get ready for work.  Daddy usually goes to the gym in the morning, so Dakota and I hang out and watch Mommy get ready.  She has given me step by step instructions on how to put on makup, so I'm all set for when I turn 16.

I Don't Want a Nap Yet!

Some days I just don't feel like napping, and Daddy has the toughest time understanding that.  He says it is for my own good and that I will not feel good if I don't sleep, but I don't want to miss anything!  Sometimes when I'm really, really tired, he lays me on my tummy and we just stare at each other until I fall asleep.

Tummy Time

Now that I'm 3 and a half months old, I'm getting better at holding my head up while I'm on my tummy.  I still don't like tummy time all that much, but I will tolerate it for about 5 or 10 minutes, or unitl I get tired.  It's hard work holding my head up!  Probably because my brain is so big.
