Four Months Old!! (September 11th, 2010)

I'm such a happy baby!

So today is September 11th and I am four-months-old. It was a pretty good day, all things considering. I did decide to wake up at 4am instead of my usual 7am, so my dad wasn't happy with that choice. I spent the morning with dad because mom was sleeping and then she had a nail appointment. I got to spend the rest of the afternoon and evening with mom and dad and they took some pictures of me to celebrate my four month birthday!

I've been doing this weird thing with my tongue and trying to make bubbles but also making sounds with my mouth and then squeeling with delight at how funny the sounds are!

Mom has been using Pap's camera for pictures and I think they look wonderful! Mom wants a new camera for Christmas and Pap told her that his camera is no better than her digital, but since she's been using his camera she disagrees. :)

In the next month mom will turn 34... and I will have gone to the pediatrician for my four-month check up. I think everyone is going to be amazed at my growth!

I've moved from the medium swaddle blanket to a large. I still HATE the swaddle and I fight it, but it's the only thing that will let me sleep soundly. I tend to fight sleep so my parents have learned to stick it out with me and keep firm and then I zonk out. When I sleep, I sleep for a long time and don't usually wake up until the morning.

Lately I've been getting very upset when I can't see mom, or when other people try to hold me. It's scary for me and I don't know what else to do but cry. :(

I've been trying to sit up more and more and I'm getting stronger. I can grab for things on my own and will reach for toys to hit. I also love to stick my fist in my mouth, but this is because I am teething. I have two teeth on the bottom (front) that are trying to pop through. It makes me very fussy when I can't get something in there to soothe the pain.

I'll post again on Monday after my four-month well baby appointment!
