Crib Notes- 4 months

I'm 4 months old this week.  Wow!  I thought this day would never come.  Four whole months old.  Remember back to when I was just a little baby?  Well, I'm doing so many big boy things now.  I can talk.  Mommy calls me Motor Mouth all the time.  I don't understand what that means...maybe when I get really old, like 6 months, I'll understand.  I smile and laugh.  I hold my head up really high.  I can even sit up if Daddy gives me a little assistance.  I sleep through the night.  I look at everything these days.  I watch people move across the room.  Mommy talks with her hands (so does Sassy!), and I get dizzy watching her hands moving when she starts talking!  I like to sit with Mrs. Fran and read books and listen to music.  And I can hold onto things and guide them right into my mouth.

Do you need proof of how big I am?  Well, we went back to the doctor on Wednesday.  I'm 14 lb 7 oz and 26 inches long!  They said I'm very healthy, but they still made me get 3 shots.  Mommy had to get 2 shots, and Daddy even had to get a shot.  We were all pretty brave, but Mommy still had to leave the room when I got my shots.  Daddy said I was much better than when I was a little 2 month old.  I hardly cried at all.  When we got out, Mommy and Daddy kept fighting over who was going to get to hold me!  They have to learn how to share!

This week was Thanksgiving.  Mr. Jim and Sassy came to see me.  I love Mr. Jim and Sassy.  When Sassy and Mommy went to get dinner, Mr. Jim and I talked and talked and talked.  I told him how to fix all the world's problems. Come to think of it, Mr. Jim didn't have much to say.  Good thing I had plenty to say to fill the awkward silence!  Sassy holds me and cuddles me and kisses me.  We talk and play and sing just like we did when I was first born.  The best part is that I never have to sit by myself!  I always have arms to hold me.  Mean ol Mommy still makes me take all my naps, though.  She sure is a stickler for such things.  Don't you think a big kid like me can get away with missing my naps???
