What a joy you are, you amaze us daily! You are growing and developing so quickly, it is so exciting to watch. A few weeks ago you decided you wanted to start rolling from your back to your front. You quickly mastered that skill and now we can hardly keep you on your back. You actually enjoy being on your tummy now! You are able to tolerate it for several minutes and you reach for toys, your current favorite being a Baby Einstein piano. It makes us laugh that since you have started rolling from back to front, it is almost as if you have forgotten how to roll back from front to back. But as soon as we help you flip to your back, you are rolling again. Two skills at once is a challenge, no doubt you will be combining them very soon. I have a feeling you will be hard to keep up with once you are on the move. You still love being outside, you get very quiet and stare at the wind blowing the trees, the sky, the birds. It is all so mesmerizing so we go for a lot of walks. You already weigh 15 pounds 14.5 ounces and you are 25.5 inches long. You laugh when we sing you songs or make funny sounds and faces at you, hearing your laugh fills my heart so full it feels like it might burst. You are getting better at sleeping, yay! We still have a long way to go but a lot of the time I can lay you down for a nap awake and you fall asleep (sort of) on your own. We are still swaddling you, I have tried leaving one arm out but you're not quite ready yet. Left unswaddled you pull out your pacifier or rub your face until you wake up, maybe next month! You still wake up a few times to nurse most nights, I pull you in bed for a cuddle and snack and then you will go back down in your bassinet for a few hours. I went back to work last week and it has been quite an adjustment. Long days away from you are very hard on me, but Grandma Taylor comes to take good care of you and it is comforting to me to know you are with someone who loves you so much. What a lucky and loved boy you are! We are enjoying every memory we are making with you and looking forward to all the sweet moments to come.
Today you are four months old.
