4 Months

Wow!  I can't believe our sweet, cuddly, squeezable baby boy is already 4 months old!  Time has sure flown by since we brought him home.  Thomas's personality is really starting to develop and he is just the happiest baby and is always smiling.  He loves to snuggle and be held and I certainly don't mind snuggling and holding him!  Thomas started rolling over from back to front 1 day before his 4 month birthday and has been talking and cooing soooo much lately.  He loves to hear his own voice.  Thomas is still nursing in the evening and mornings and eats like a champ at school.  We are holding off on starting food until he is 6 months old.  Sleeping is still a challenge some nights.  I have always followed the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, which I am a firm believer in as it worked wonders for Benjamin, but it has been a little hard to make sure that Thomas naps on time when he goes to school, and good daytime sleep is vital for good nighttime sleep.  We are working on it though and it has been getting better at school.  I think part of it is just getting Thomas used to all of the new noises and light during naps.  For the most part, Thomas has been going to bed around 7,  which is about an hour later than when he should, so I am really going to try to get him to bed around 6/630 from now on.  The last month has been so much fun watching Thomas's personality develop and grow.  Thomas really loves to play on the floor and enjoys laying on his tummy pillow most of all.  The kick and play piano is still a favorite but he mostly prefers to be sitting up these days.  We have recently started putting him in the exersaucer and he is really loving that! I think he enjoys the view much more sitting up.

I could just eat him up I love him so!  Happy 4 months sweet baby boy, we love you!
