4 Months

My sweet little boy is officially 4 months and 2 weeks old. I've been a busy mommy and haven't had an opportunity to post his 4 month picture and updates, so here it is.

At 4 months:

-Tate weighed 17.10 pounds and is 26 inches. He's such a big boy!

-He can roll over both ways!!! YEA! He finally got from the back to tummy. It took a while to get that arm out of the way, but he got it!

-started eating rice cereal 1-2 times a day. Now he is eating it for lunch and dinner. He will eat the entire bowl! He even opens his mouth for the spoon. The first bite is never very good but he's doing great!

-Still loves to be outside more than anything! Being in west Texas in the summer is not really ideal for this; however, I still walk him in his stroller a couple times a day with a bag of frozen strawberries/peas behind his back or head to keep him cool.

-Sleeps on his side most of the time but will roll over on his back and put his hands above his head too-precious :)

-While he is eating he likes to stick his hands in my mouth-it makes me laugh, goofy boy!

-He loves to giggle at Trevor. He also can recognize most of the family now. Dad will hold him a chase Kitty (which her name is going to have to change to Bitty or Kippy soon to avoid confusion, haha). He loves Kitty!

-He still nurses every 2 hours or so. I don't know how long I'm going to continue. I'm guessing until he is eating a lot more solid-maybe 9 months.

-He smiles a lot more now.

-We've gone swimming about 3 times now. He splashes and gets water in his face and gets frustrated. He actually kicks around a lot. He seems like he likes it and it gives him a break from the heat. I love his swimming trunks-thanks Aunt Courtnie.

-He sleeps really good at night-usually goes to bed for good at 10/10:30 and sleeps til about 6, eats, and then goes back to sleep til about 9. He has slept in his room, in the crib, since about 2 months; however, I'm guilty of letting him take his daytime naps with me in our bed. He's just so cozy and sweet. He's a snuggle bug.

-He loves noises and kisses in his neck. Daddy does them the best.

-He's been soooo drooly for the past month. I think it's the beginning of teething but none have shown, yet.

-He can stand for a really long time (and prefers to be standing up or sitting down, opposed to laying down). He walks around while you hold onto his hands and he likes to dance his little feet.

-is in 6-12 month clothes, mostly 9 months work well though.

I love him so much! Each day I can see him growing and learning. He's so beautiful and it is the most amazing feeling in the world to be his mama!
