4 months!

MadMommy's been fighting a losing battle with the depression.  I foresee bad things coming for me. But none the less, we shall survive.  And none of that stops le little man from growing, progressing.  So no excuses today, on the 4 monthaversary of his birth!

Hm, lets see....LLM is growing like mad. Yesterday, at a family party, I 'stood' him next to my niece who's just over 9 months.  He's the same height as her.  And to quote my cousin, "he could eat her!"  Which is probably true since he can eat as much as she does in one meal.  Though, he does  prefer to take his meal at a leisurely pace. I'm not lying about leisurely either, he likes to pretend he's sleeping but then get mad when you pull the bottle/nipple away.  I'll update after his 4 month appointment next week with the official length and weight but I'm guessing...26 inches and 15 lbs. Let's see how skilled MadMommy is at estimating little man's size.

We're almost on the verge of rolling over! Any day now. And yes, I've been thinking that for about a week. LOL but it's true...any day now. :-P

His head control is phenomenal, and he's starting to be able to carry his weight on his legs a bit. That seems early for me, but he's gonna get there when he gets there right?  If you put something in front of him he will grab it, and more often than not try to put it in his mouth.  This is surprisingly fun to watch.  You can't help but chuckle when he undoubtedly jerks in surprise hitting himself in the face as he misses his mouth.  He'll get there. I just hope he stays away from putting rocks or batteries in his mouth (Yes batteries.  I actually know someone who says they used to suck on batteries...all I can say to that is "how are you still alive?").

He doesn't quite laugh yet, but he does squeal with delight every once in a while and has moments of what I hear as giggle fits.  Mostly when MadMommy's giving him kisses all over.  This makes me the happiest.  Knowing I have a happy baby makes me happy. 

I think we're starting to cut our first tooth!  All the signs are there, the drool, the random temperature spikes, the firmness of his gums in the front, the irritability when somethings not in his mouth... I'm keeping my eye out. Not sure how long it takes for that first tooth to grow in, but I'm assuming that's also any day now. :-P
