4 months old!

Sean is 4 months old, where has the time gone?? At 4 months old, Sean is belly laughing, pushing up on his hands while laying on his belly, doing a whole lotta chatting aka cooing, drooling up a storm (cutting a tooth!?), having a 4-month wakeful period, still eating every 3 hours but staying awake longer during the day, enjoying tummy time much more, bringing toys to his mouth (or handfuls of my hair, blankets, burpcloths, really anything within reach!) and getting very close to rolling back to belly.

According to the scale at work, Sean is just shy of 16 pounds. We'll get a weight and height check for him next Monday at his 4 month appointment. Ian was 16 pounds 15 ounces at 4 months, so I think Sean will be pretty close.

Best new of this month... Sean is taking a bottle!!! We are using Playtex bottles with a latex nipple and that does the trick! I even left him home with Charles when working the Nicki's Grand Opening and he took it like a champ! Such a relief :)

They grow too fast!

We went up to La Crosse on Sunday and spent the day with Brooklyn and Kristina! It was so great to see "Brooke", as Ian calls her, again! I haven't seen her since the day she was born!! I can't believe how fast the babies are growing! Here they are on the day Brooklyn was born and then here they are on Sunday, 3 months old!
