Quickest 4 Months Ever...
Didn't I just write about our boy turning 3 months? As quickly as the month has gone, we have squeezed a ton of activity and life into those days! There has been more growth in our boy in the past month than any previous month. In just 4 months, he went from a 6lb. baby that had zero idea of the world around him to an almost 14lb. baby that loves talking and actively tries to be a part of this world.

This month, Paisley has;
Had his first slumber party! Scott went out of town for work so P and I packed our bags and off to grandmother's house we went. P slept like an angel in his pack-n-play and enjoyed the time with his Nana. I didn't mind the extra time with my Momma either.
P flew to Florida and behaved like an experienced traveler as we went through security and boarded the plane. Thank goodness he is a good traveler because his journeys have only just begun. Along with flying to Florida, P got to put his feet in the sand (which made his toes promptly curl) and listened to the crash of the waves as we laid beneath a cabana.
He said his first word..."good" this month. Why would a baby say the word "good" you ask? Because both grandmothers spend the entire day, everyday, saying "You're good!" and "Are you good?" Every conversation we have with P, he makes sure to mention that he is good. I've instructed both of them to start working on "Momma."
Besides saying good, he tries to talk in sentances. Sometimes it is just the word "good" over and over again, but he uses different tones and varies the loudness. Sometimes he enjoys talking VERY loud. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he gets that from me.
We have a rolling baby! He's always rolled from his stomach to his back but he now rolls from his back to his stomach. We have yet to actually witness this event, but every night we put him to bed on his back and by morning he is on his stomach. He also enjoys rotating throughout the night. He goes to bed with his head facing north but when I go in to feed him in the morning his head is facing south.
Playtime is becomming more and more fun! Paisley will now hold (and throw) his toys. He likes knocking over his stacking cups after I have stacked them up. He loves sitting in his Bumbo and looking at everything around him.
The wonderful world of teething has begun. We noticed our boy was drooling more that a dog sitting 2ft away from a t-bone steak. Then the chewing on his hands started. Then he just seemed cranky. After a quick trip to Google we decided our pumpkin was working on some teeth. They haven't broke through the gums yet...but I have a feeling they will make an appearance sooner than later.
No more 3 month size clothes for our boy. He is comfortably wearing 6-9 month. It makes me smile while tugging at my heart a bit as I put away his outgrown clothing. They look so tiny.
P joined his mom and dad on the annual Christmas tree cutting excursion. We bundeled up our Dumplin and off we went (Griswald style) to cut down a tree. We crossed our fingers that Paisley didn't have any allergies to pine and/or sap (he does not). It was a wee bit cold so we quickly went to work finding the perfect tree and cutting it down.
Paisley got to meet Santa! Of course Paisley told him he was "good" and enjoyed sitting on the big guys lap. I hope as Paisley gets older he is always that happy and relaxed when talking to Santa.
Dumplin continues to be exclusively breastfed. At his 4 month appointment his pediatrition did recommend we start feeding him cereal. That should lead to some very cute pictures and a potential mess or two.
I'm very pleased with P's sleep schedule. He will go down anywhere from 8-9:30 and wake up one time throughout the night to eat. It is usually around 4:00. Then he gets up with me at 5:30 to start our day. It is amazing how much better I feel only getting up one time verses when we were getting up twice.
P's Loves:
Being read to
Playing in his Jumperoo
Snuggling
Putting soft objects in his mouth
Splashing around in his bath tub
Dislikes:
Getting in his car seat
Laying flat on his back (he has a world to watch!)
Getting out of the bath tub
As we say good bye to 3 months we anxiously look forward to seeing what our 4 month old has in store for us!
