Moving on Up

@ Your 4 month birthday

 

• Weighed in at 16 lbs 6.4oz.
• And were 25.5 inches tall
• Are In love with your hands, and even like to share them with your mama.
• You figured out how to roll both ways the day before you turned 4 months.
• You learned a few new sounds, a fun little squeal and how to blow raspberries.
• You also love to pull things over your head, up to this point we were swaddling you with a blanket but that halted when you woke up screaming with the blanket over your face. So sleep was rough as you learned how to sleep soft taco style rather than burrito style. It was rough...but you learned.
• Your fingers are starting to work better and you're able to grab things you want.
• You also have quite the grip
• You still hate getting dressed
• You decided you like to splash in the bathtub and love trying catching your rubber ducky
• I wish you'd stay little forever my sweet little man.
