4 months

So my baby is now four months old. 16 weeks. 112 days. Wow, where did the time go? He is growing so fast and becoming SO much fun. I LOVED him as an infant, but being a "baby" now is so much fun. His laugh and smile just melts our hearts! I can hardly stand not "eating" him sometimes! I just want to take a big bite of his cute chunky legs or cheeks, or his sweet little ear and his adorable nose. (Aunt Celeen - it's for mom's to bite only! :)
Two weeks ago when we took him to Dr. Adair because we thought he had an ear infection, he weighed 13lbs .8 oz. I'll update his stats at his 4 month check up (which will happen at 4.5 months since Dr. Adair is out of town).
What is Ethan doing lately?

Rolls over front to back and SOMETIMES back to front

Scoots all over the place in his bed. I often find him upside down at the other end when I go in to
get him in the morning.

Sleeps most of the night. Sometimes wakes up to eat at 3:30, but mostly sleeps until about 5:30 and then goes back to sleep until 8:30 after eating.

Laughs and smiles constantly, especially when Daddy makes a funny face.

Loves the "farting" sound. What a boy.

Likes to jump in his jumper - but sometimes forgets how to work it and gets mad.

LOVES LOVES LOVES to suck/chew his hand. As you can see from his face, he gets real upset if you remove it before he is done. LOL

Loves to eat. (as you can see from his cheeks!)

Still won't take the bottle or pacifier, (unless you count mommy as the human pacifier!)

Loves music - especially when daddy plays guitar

Likes TV (especially Sesame Street - I know this because he'll watch it longer, usually the whole time I'm in the shower and getting dressed. Woo HOo for Elmo!)

COMMANDS my undivided attention, 24/7. He loves to be held, and won't have it any other way - even in the jumper or swing, I have to pay attention to him or I hear about it. :)
