4 Months Old

You are 4 months old today, Ry-Ry. You have become so much fun. We love hearing you talk constantly - you're interacting with the world!

You love to move around, and hate to sit still. When we put you down on a blanket, you scoot around on your back and belly - pushing off any near object or the floor to get yourself moving. You love to hold yourself straight up when you're on you belly - guess you have a better view of the world that way.

You love to sit up - although you're not so hot at doing it on your own yet. You wobble and topple over after about 5-10 seconds. But you're TRYING - and it's so cute.
Your sleeping schedule has been pretty erratic lately - you would so much rather stay awake and play than sleep. You fight it - but you've always fought it since the day you were born. Now that you're older we're laying down the law a little more - but you know we're still softies for you. You were sleeping 8 hours at night - now we're lucky to get 5. Let's fix this, buddy!

You're starting to love toys. You love anything that is soft - like stuffed animals. You run your hands over and over them and run the fur between your fingers. You love crinkly toys - and your lion that growls when you shake it. Mostly you love anything that you can bring to your mouth.

You are a beautiful baby - we love you more everyday!

Can't believe my tiny baby is no longer a newborn
