4 Months

My Alexander Travis is four months old! Our well-check doctor visit isn't until a couple of weeks (since the doc is on vacation) but since Alex was sick we got to weigh in- he is up to 15.5 lbs! He is such a joy, always making us laugh and smile. We are making some good progress in the car, but still have our rough times. He is so much easier to entertain these days and loves just looking at things/people. Sleep is totally random- some nights he will go 6 hours, yet others he reverts back to every 3! Yes, those are some rough nights reminiscent of the newborn days.

Here are some of our little man's favorites these days...

Favorite...

• hand to suck- right. We think this is a sign of his right-handedness. He also found his thumb in the last few days and seems to be liking it.

• games- peek a boo, "Im gonna getcha!", and raspberry on the belly. All get big laughs!

• book- Goodnight Moon. Well, I think he likes it best...he is a really good listener during this one!

• playtime activity- tummy time! The kid could kick for hours if we let him. He looks a little like Shamu as he arches his back and lifts his head high. Mom has to shut down the party if he throws up too much. :(
  

• thing to "eat"- burp cloths. We make sure he has one to hold and stuff in his mouth at all times! Forget the pacifier, give me a burp cloth! This also comes in handy for all the emergency spit ups!
  

• noise to make- dinosaur roar! Well, we call it that. I don't know why but he loves to roar and it is hilarious. ???
  

• activity- bath time! What kid doesn't love it!? But Alex starts grinning from ear to ear when we start to undress him because I swear he knows! and that smile continues all through bath time!
  

Oh, we love our lil boo bear. He is just the cutest thing in America! (We say!)
