4 months old
4 months old, riding on my first flight
Today I am four months old. This month I have had a lot of fun. I have done several new things. I got my first professional studio pictures, slept longer at night (between 7-10 hours), stayed in the nursery at church for the first time, got a passport, went swimming for the frist time, went to the Science Place, played with lots of friends, met my Aunt Jaime for the first time, rolled over, was dedicated at church, went to my first birthday party for a friend, and went out of town for the first time. That was in addition to all the normal running around town, running errands, visiting Nana and playing with my friends.
Mom loves that I am sleeping more. Most nights I go to sleep at around 9. I usually wake up hungry between 5 and 6 but then I go back to sleep until about 8. Dad often comes to play with me when I wake up so that mom can sleep a little longer. We have a lot of fun in the mornings. I am getting a lot stronger. I hold my head up very well, sit with support and am starting to push up with my legs. I no longer hate tummy time, but still prefer my back. I really communicate a lot. I coo and make all kinds of fun noises. I really like mirrors and the pretty baby that smiles back at me. I don’t take great naps, but I am happy when I am awake during the day so mom does not mind too much.
I can’t wait to see what mom has planned for me next month.
