It seems like just yesterday I was writing your 3 month update.  I'm amazed by how much you've grown both in size and personality in just a month. You're such a happy and smiley boy.  We love you so much, lil rascal!  Happy 4 mos!

  • Wearing 3-6 mos clothing and size 2 diapers
  • Battled a nasty neck rash. 
  • Dr. said you're officially now teething.  She thinks you will cut your first tooth is about a month or so :(.  
YOU LIKE: 
  • Your new mommy & me class that has only babies born in the month of March!  You love to smile and play with your new friend Nolan

  • To talk to your geoffrey the giraffe and yourself 
  • Traveling and going places!  

YOU DISLIKE:
  • The dry air and altitude up in Big Bear
  • Being swaddled. You have now graduated from the swaddle to Merlin's Magical Sleepsuit. Once you start rolling onto your tummy (which will prob be in like 2-3 weeks based on how much you're moving lately), we will need to put you in normal sleepers and sleep sacks.  

WHAT'S NEW:
  • Reaching, gripping, grabbing objects (and stuffing them in your mouth)
  • You let us know when you like or dislike something 
  • Talking and babbling allllll the time 
  • Belly laughing! 
  • You've been falling asleep on your own when we put you in the crib or pack n play 
  • TEETHING! We went to the dr. to check up on your neck rash and the dr. said that she can see a bulge on your bottoms gums, she thinks you will be cutting a tooth in less than a month! ahhhhhh
  • Rolling on both sides.  You rolled over onto your tummy once and it freaked you out
  • You went to Cambria and hung out at the beach
  • You got to meet your Tutu Trisha from Hawaii for the first time
