4 Months, Round 2

Four months on the Fourth of July!

Likes:

• Hanging out on the playmat. His latest trick is to position himself under this toy and just chew on it hands-free. 

• Bath time and lotion time. He has been sleeping in the Magic Sleepsuit at night since we got home from vacation, but I worried that his feet might get too cold as a result of the AC being especially effective in his bedroom. After a cursory search for baby socks, I realized I pretty much got rid of all of them (they fall off and go missing and then you have 19 unmatched tiny socks) BUT I did find these toddler Santa socks in a bin in the closet. Christmas in July.

• The swing--in which to chill and to nap. I am sure that napping in the swing violates all kind of baby-sleep rules, but I'm putting that on the "deal with it later" pile.

 

Dislikes:

• Pooping his last diaper in the McDonalds in Crossville, TN and having to borrow an overnight diaper from big bro (approximately 3 sizes too big). He also cried any time anyone turned on the hand dryer. 

Milestones and stats:

• Some serious travel in the books
• 14.5+ lbs
• Size 2 diapers (will size up once this pack is gone...he's bustin' out)
• 6 month clothing
• Rolls front to back
• Sits with assistance
• Good head control
• Emerging reaching and grasping
