4 Months Old

Dear Justin,

Four months old already! You are getting busier and busier...or should I say bouncier and bouncier. Your new nick name is Tigger. Unlike most 4 month olds, you have no interest in rolling over or reaching out and grabbing for toys. Nope - you'd rather be bouncing up and down on Mom's lap or in your jumperoo. If you're laying on the floor, you're more interested in watching what Mom is doing than any of your toys. And, we already know we're going to have to keep you away from the TV- you are glued to it if you catch even a small glimpse. You still like tummy time and can push your upper body all the way up and easily turn your head from one side to the other. You LOVE hands. Your hands or our hands, it doesn't really matter, but you are amazed by them. You continue to talk and like hearing yourself be loud. Recently, you have discovered yourself in the mirror and must think you are quite cute because you smile and smile at that darling baby in the reflection. Giggles are still kind of hard to get out of you, but every once in a while when we're playing, you surprise me with big laughs. Of course, I keep doing whatever it is until we are both exhausted. You give BIG smiles and often giggle at Dad when he comes home. He doesn't even have to be silly to get it out of you. He just says hello and asks how your day was, and you turn on the charm. I think it's to entice him to come home sooner! You're getting better at taking naps during the day but have backtracked when it comes to sleeping at night. I'm not sure which one I prefer, hopefully we'll get them both down soon! We love you so much and are having lots of fun playing and discovering new things you can do all the time. We are very grateful for your cheery and chill disposition. I also appreciate that you seem to think I'm pretty entertaining during all those hours we spend together everyday. We have many, many smiles together!
