4 Months Old!

This last month has felt like the longest, possibly because so much has happened, or possibly because we are no longer in the newborn phase. We've seen lots of changes and development in the little guy. The biggest one being him rolling over from back to belly at three and a half months (he already could roll the other way). Now we really can't take our eyes off him. He loves tummy time on his play mat now he can get there on his own. He can hold himself up, and is already working on crawling. Our little dragon baby is not one to sit still.

His favorite toy is still his hands, and he started sucking his tiny thumb instead of just his fist. He also found his feet, and grabs them whenever possible. He's not super interested in toys we hold in front of him, but is very interested in our own hands.

He is so playful and loves to interact. He still talks and practices making noises. He loves it when we sing to him, especially nonsense. He'll squeal and smile big.

We take him everywhere, out to dinner, to parties, family functions. Lots of fun trips, too, as you've seen from the past month's blog posts.

I also went back to work full time when he was three and a half months. The transition was surprisingly easy. Andy watches him a day or two during the week, and he's a daycare a few days a week. We love his daycare, just a block up the hill from us. He likes it there, too.
