4 months old


today you turned 4 months old. i can't believe how time flies. everyone warns you stinkers grow up fast but i had no idea how right they were. you went to the doctor today for your 4-month check-up. you weighed in at a whopping 11 pounds, are 24 inches in length and have a head circumference of 16 inches. as always, you were pretty dang good for the doctor (who calls you "sydster") and took your 4 shots to the legs like a champ. here are a few things about you at 4 months ...

you're a very content and happy baby. rarely fussy for no reason.

good sleeper. take a couple good naps during the day and 9-10 hours at night. yet another reason for your dad and i to love you.

tell the greatest stories in your own little language.

have giggled for us a few times. you smile very easily but make us work a little harder for a laugh.

recognize your mom and dad and always welcome dad home from work with a big smile. he loves it.

while you can't roll over quite yet, you're very good at the side-to-side motion and squirm all over the place. leaving you alone on beds, couches etc. is no longer an option.

constantly get compliments on how cute you are; in particular people notice your skin and big blue eyes.

when excited, your big eyes get even bigger and you flail your legs.

love time spent in the stroller. content just looking at the world around you.

drooling and slobbering are a part of who you are these days. i call you a drool monster. your dad calls you a drool fool.
