Last week, on March 1st, you turned 4 months old. How is that possible!? It seems like you were just a tiny newborn yesterday. Almost on cue, you decided that you'd celebrate 4 months of life by rolling over. We've been waiting for you to hit this milestone for a while now since you've been so close. You finally figure out how to drop your shoulder and roll from tummy to back and you've done it 6 times now. I thought it would scare you, but it didn't. As you get better at it, I imagine you'll roll over all the time since it's a great trick to end the dreaded tummy time (although you're protesting less about tummy time now).
You are really good at sitting up and you're becoming much less of a bobble head :). You can sit up on my lap for pretty long periods of time now and you spend most of that time smiling at me and chewing on your hands. Chewing on your hands is definitely your current favorite activity. A close second is looking at yourself in the mirror. You don't know who you're looking at, but I've discovered that you love when I hold you in front of our big bedroom mirror and let you stare at yourself. You just smile and smile, and sometimes act shy and bury your head into my shoulder. It is adorable. Other favorites include hugging George (your giraffe), having momma whistle at you and make a motor sound with my lips, and sitting in your bouncy chair. You can really get that chair going. Sometimes you like laying on your activity mat and sometimes you don't. Generally you always like being on your changing table and for whatever reason you really like getting dressed and undressed. One of the funniest things you do is put your hands behind your head while you're eating in a "I'm just chillin" pose. You babble quite a bit and most of your babbling sounds like you're making a "g" sound. You also gurgle and try your best to laugh. Whenever somebody smiles at you, you usually smile back unless you're tired. Overall, you're a very happy baby!
We still can't get you on a consistent sleeping schedule. With sleep and most things, you do what you want and have a mind of your own. We always put you down around 8pm after your bath (which you love) and sometimes you sleep 3 hrs, sometimes 5 hrs. Last week you slept 6 hrs straight two nights and I thought we were turning a corner, but then you went back to being up after 3 hrs. Naps are similar in that sometimes you take great, long naps, and then other days there's nothing we can do to get you to nap for more than 15 mins. Your Papa and I love sleeping so we're not sure how we got a baby who fights sleep so much. Oh well, we will keep trying for better sleeping habits!
Happy 4 months, little buzz!
