Mom just cannot believe that I am four months old. It feels like just yesterday that I was a wrinkly looking chicken baby - and now - I am big and plump and hearty! She is amazed at all the skillz that I have developed up to this point. I coo non-stop. I smile on cue. I like to grab hold of Mom's thumbs and pull myself up to sitting position and then eventually right up to standing position. I am pretty strong and stand for anywhere from 15 - 30 seconds at a time before I crumble up in a heap like Melanie in Gone with the Wind. I still make pterodactyl noises much to Aunt Megger's delight, but I also am experimenting a lot with my voice. This leads to a lot of squwacking at potentially inappropriate places - Holstens, Red Robin, IHOP come to mind. Oops!

I have been sleeping really well through the night - eight hours straight through! Not bad for Mom, even though she doesn't exactly sleep through the night herself since she checks on me every couple of hours to make sure I am doing alright.

I also still enjoy walks in the park, hanging in the swing, and laying under my Gymini although I am all about grabbing that darned parrot nowadays. I am pretty much able to play anywhere and with anything though. Everything is still new an interesting to me - though I do have a preference for looking at ceiling fans and lights.

And of course, you all know how much I love my Exer-Saucer - especially now that I can grab some items and put them in my mouth!

All of my days aren't filled with activities though - sometimes I just lounge around.

Life has been really great for me. I am a very happy healthy little boy who is very loved.

Happy Four Month Old Birthday To Me!
