4 months...

i cannot believe my baby boy is now 4 months! where does time go? he really is the light of our lives. i love how he lights up when paul comes home, i love how he looks at me like i am the best thing, i love how he plays with his hands, i love how he tries to get what is in my hands into his hands and mouth (he is super fast). we love him more than we thought possible and still find ourselves staring at him realizing he is ours.

-he has found his voice. he squeaks and squawks all.the.time. (makes sitting through anything impossible)
-loves to chew on everything
-he laughs all the time
-his face lights up when he smiles
-will not take a pacifier or a bottle...no, not even with breast milk in the bottle
-he has tough little legs and loves to stand
-looks at everything intensely
-sleeps now from 10-3ish and then from 3:30ish to 6ish
-he loves the water
-rolls onto his side
-skootches himself 90 degrees
-loves rice cereal with carrots and pears
-grip of steel
-enjoys LOVES being outside
-still has a great appetite
-loves to touch our faces

i was talking to someone in our neighborhood about a little bouncing chair for the doorway. i didn't think a thing of it, and when i got home from running errands, it was there! i was so excited. there wasn't a note or anything, so i said a prayer of gratitude. i put it together, hung it in the doorway, and put jack into it. like anything else, he loved it for a while and then he was ready to get out.
he loved being able to put his feet on the ground. he just lowered his head and watched his feet move. we would put on music on and jam out! he really does have the sweetest little face!
