4 Months

This past Monday was Eli’s four-month mark.  We celebrated by having a photo shoot (of course)!  

 

He is getting so big…I just can’t stand it!  He is already wearing 6 months clothes because of his length.  The body is so baggy, but it’s pulling at the crotch!  Our doctor said he looks like a toddler.  I think I’d have to agree!

 

He is a rolling fool now.  He’ll roll over to his belly and onto to his back again.  Unfortunately, he hasn’t learned quite how to maneuver in the crib yet.  We’ll hear these muffled cries coming through the monitor, and he’ll be face down and in the corner!  I know once he gets the hang of it, he’ll be all over the crib! I FINALLY caught the little booger rolling over on camera, so you can see it! (Caution: Extreme use of my baby voice in this video)

He is also starting to use more consonants.  It’s “ba” or “ga” now.  He even said something yesterday that sounded so close to “mama!”  I’m sure it was just wishful thinking on my part though!  More than anything, he is a smiler.  He LOVES to smile.  Even when he is crying, you can usually get him to smile in the middle of it!  He’s laughing a lot more now too.  It’s this cute little hiccupping laugh…I can’t get enough of it!

Tomorrow I’m going high chair shopping.  We need to get this boy on solids!  The milk just does not fill him anymore.  He has even started grabbing for my food!  He’s particularly interested in french fries.  I wonder if this is because a lot of his nutrition in the womb was from that food!  :o)
