4 months old

Mom went back to work for the first time on feb 22, 2014. To soften the blow for daddy we shipped off your sister to a aunt Decembers house and left just you and daddy solo (then grandma robin showed up to help) .  Daddy says you were great, barely cried, took a bottle, had a few catnaps and were overall a charm to watch!!!! I'm glad the day went by so well, but geez I think your dad thought watching kids as a job all day was easy.. I think he might change his mind next weekend when mommy works and he has you and deb all by himself. 

You continue to amaze me with your overall delight for life. You're such a happy boy, always smiling and cooing.. 

You throw up after feeds quite a bit, think you tend to overeat (shocking, seeing as you almost weigh 20 pounds at four months old) . You love to stand on your feet, would do it all day if your legs were strong enough to bear the weight. You smile alllll the time. You love to sleep, have started to do 5-6 hour stretches at night. You won't take a pacifier so you just use mommy as one. You hate the car seat, scream bloody murder sometimes when you're in it. Took you to Disneyland the other day and I caved and pulled over thinking you were hungry because I couldn't think of any other reason you would have cried that loud and that long for. I fed you, burped you, you fell asleep, I put you back in your carseat and you screamed the whole way home..

I had to leave the house when we got home you had me so anxious from the ride home.. And of course you came home and slept for almost 5 hours uninterrupted.. 

You are a drooly beast, always chewing on your hands or anything you can put in your mouth. You are wearing size three diapers and 6-12, 12-18 months clothes. So crazy to think you are that big. Took you to your checkup at 4 month and you weighed in at 20.15 pounds and 28.5 inches.. Such a big big boy
