Lawson 4 months old


My Milestones at 4 months:

I weigh 17 pd 2 oz (90%) and I am 27 inches tall (95%). The doctor says I am well proportioned. I am big just like my brother was. 

I still eat 5 - 5 1/2 0z every 3 to 4 hours, except at night.

I am taking 3 to 4 naps a day. Sometimes they are long and sometimes they are short. I sleep in my crib in my room for my naps, but still sleep in the cradle in momma and daddy's room at night. 

I am sleeping on my tummy all the time now. I sleep for longer periods of time at night now, but still haven't matched the 7 1/2 hours I slept the first time I slept on my tummy. I was just letting momma know how I like to lay. 

I am a very happy baby. I love to smile and laugh. I can laugh out loud now, which is lots of fun. 
My big brother talks to me a lot more now. He even greets me when momma and I come home from her Bible study class. Easton says, "Hey, baby Wahson" first and then says hi to momma. 

I am getting stronger everyday. I can support myself on my legs and can sit supported.

I love to pull the passy out of my mouth and then try to put it back in again. Sometimes I make it, but basically, I just slobber all over the place.

I can hold toys in my hands now and try to put them in my mouth.

I haven't actually cut a tooth yet, but I am teething. Momma can feel the teeth below my gums in my mouth. She says it won't be long now and maybe my mouth will feel better.

Dr. Moore says I am "socially advanced." I was scared of him at our appointment and he said that I shouldn't be scared of him until the 6 month appointment. I don't know, but I do notice everything that is going on around me and I like girl's voices a lot better than men's voices.

I still love the sound of the hair dryer when I am mad or sleepy, but momma has discovered that I also love the sound of the vent over stove. It is quicker and more convenient.

Momma gave me cereal for the first time last Sunday. To everyone's surprise, I didn't like it. I spit it out and even gagged a few times. Momma is still trying and I am sure I will get the hang of it soon. After that, I get to try some yummy veggies. 

Most people say I look like my brother and my daddy, but some people lately have been saying I look like my momma. I don't know what I look like. I haven't discovered myself in the mirror yet. 

I am very close to rolling over, but haven't made it all the way. Momma says I need more "tummy time."

I have grown a lot in one month - 3 pounds! I have moved up to 6-9 month clothing which means I am now wearing some of my brothers clothes from when he was a baby. Momma was so excited!  Easton wore these clothes in the fall of 05. 

I love all of my family, but I am still a momma's boy right now.
