4 Months Old- 5/24/2011

Our angel boy is 4 months old today!  He had his check up today as well.  He was such a big boy.  Dr. Kim says that he has amazing social skills.  He's such a smart baby.  He was talking up a storm with her.  I know he was telling her how much he loves his mommy and daddy!  He only screamed for a few seconds when he realized he had been stuck.  Then he was back to his happy self again.  Mommy hates when he cries that hard though.  Love it when he's back to smiling.

So here are his 4 month old stats:

16 lbs. 6 oz. (75%)
25 1/2" Long (60%)
Head: 16 1/2" (50%)

Holden has done so much this month.  It's hard to remember everything.  I think I need to start writing it all down.  But here are a few things you've accomplished this month:

• You're hand/eye coordination is tremendous!  You love grabbing hold of things and you are so aware of things around you.  You have 2 toys that dangle from your car seat, as soon as we put you in the car you grab hold of the hoops at the bottom of one of them.  Half the time you fall asleep with a death grip on that thing.  Daddy says its cause of my driving.  Very funny!
• You talk up a storm!  Seriously, I never knew anyone could talk more than your Grammy, but boy, you're giving her a run for her money.  Mommy loves to hear your stories, you tell the best stories.
• Sleep seems to be one of your favorite things (LOL).  You sleep all through the night 90% of the time, and I mean sleep all through the night.  You are normally down by 9:00 and don't wake up until Mommy comes to get you about 6:30.
• Our time in the car is spent listening to classical music, which seems to make you talk louder.  Seems to make me want to sleep, but I know that it will do great things for you.  You are already such a smart little by.
• You made a new friend this month, Jett Heiser.  You two boys are going to be the best of friends.
• You started eating cereal this month too!  Of course, no surprise here, you love it.  Anything that involves food seems to suit you just fine.  It's so funny to see you try to swallow the cereal.  I honestly don't think any of it gets down, but you seem content with it.
• You still try to suck your thumb, but Mommy, daddy and Ms. Linda do everything we can to keep you from doing that.  But you still seem to find a way to sneak it in sometimes.
• You love to laugh at yourself in the mirror.  It's so cute.  mommy sings " how much for the baby in the mirror" and you just smile at yourself.  Then daddy comes in and counts your rolls, which you laugh at now, but I have a feeling you're going to kill me for these blog post later.
• AND FINALLY!!!!!!!  You rolled over!!!!!  Mommy was so proud!

Happy 4 Month Birthday precious boy.  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and we love you so much.  Thank you Lord for a healthy and happy baby.  We are so very blessed to be his parents and are looking forward to all the days head.
