4 months old!!

Cace turned 4 months old this weekend!!! I can't believe how the time has gone by.  Sometimes it seems like forever ago since he was born and then other times I can't we have a 4 month old baby!!

He is definitely still growing and growing!! We had his 4 month check up today and weighed in at 19 pounds, 4 ounces and is 25 inches long!!  Next up, trying to feed him some solids.

A couple of notes about where he is at this milestone...

- He is always wanting to be sitting up.  If you lean him back a little bit, he'll start straining trying to sit himself up, even when he's in the carseat.
- He is enjoying his toys a lot more and loves to look at new things.  He especially loves any type of puppet.
- If we put him on his stomach now, he scoots himself (face first, with his feet kicking around) across the blanket to get to a toy, etc.
- He is starting to notice details.  In my mom's stroller that she has for him, he kept trying to figure out the monsters that are on fabric. 

Some pictures from this weekend hanging out and trying out some new toys....

Playing with my new activity center.. I especially love the bongo playing lion puppet!!

First time in the Johnny Jump Up... he mostly just pushed himself around in circles (and chewed on the side)!

Playing music

I still love to look at the trees!!

Lessons learned for the week....

- Have low hanging trees.. We were looking for a place to hang the Johnny Jump Up outside but all of the trees were too tall... and no if you get a ladder to hang it, Cace won't be able to reach the ground. :)
- Cace is too good to be true.  He just goes with the flow as long as he can squeeze in a nap and you keep him fed.  If he wasn't mine, seeing him would make my uterus hurt.  But since he's mine, I just know the next one will be a monster :)
- Why do bibs have such small necks?  Cace is only 4 months and none of bibs (and we have a basket full of them) fit him.  So, luckily, T Ma came to the rescue and sewed extenders onto some of his bibs and made us a couple of extenders that clip on.  And on to the biggest lesson, courtesy of T Ma...
- don't rush when there are needles involved!!  T Ma sewed her finger while she was sewing a bib and had the needle point break off into her finger and had to have T Pa get it out for her before she passed out.... oh and did I mention all of this happened around midnight.
