Wow, we have a four month old!! Seems so little, yet so big at the same time. I think about it and say he's only four months, what a little baby. But then I think about when Brayden was first born and am like wow, he's four months, what a big boy! Seriously, where have the past four months gone??!!!
Brayden is doing great! He so far has been blessed with great health and is such a happy baby that is just full of life!! The three to four month period has been so fun as we watch Brayden become more and more interested in his surroundings. Brayden did roll over once about a month ago, but we think that was by accident. However, he is now starting to arch his back and move around when he is laying on the floor, so we think he is really learning to roll over this time. Brayden also loves grabbing onto anything he can find...a burp cloth, his bib, our shirts, his blankets, his toys, etc. Oh and his feet are the new one. It seems like he always has to have something in his hands and his mouth all day long!! Lately everything goes straight to the mouth...hands, bibs, blankets, toys, you name it. However, we try to give him a pacifier instead because he is also a drooling machine now too, haha. Brayden is really discovering his voice and facial expressions now too and we can't get enough of his smiles and laughs!!
Some of Brayden's favorite things now include, being held under the arms to stand up, his jumperoo, and bath time with daddy!! Ahh and he is starting to learn to splash! The other night when I went in the bathroom to clean up after Dan gave Brayden a bath and was putting him to bed, about half of his bath water was on the floor, haha. I think it might be time to put his newborn tub in the actually bath tub and not on the floor in the bathroom anymore. Oh and another one of his favorite things is being shy when he looks at himself in the mirror. This is a very new thing Now when we look and play standing in front of the mirror, Brayden smiles and then gets shy and turns his head into your chest....its really too cute!!
We had our four month doctor's appointment today and Brayden appears to be doing very well. The doctor talked to us about starting him on some rice cereal and food too, so that will be the next big step!! We can't wait to see how he likes eating and reacts to the new foods! I am sure I will have lots to blog about next month!
Brayden's four month stats:
Head: 44.25 (90th percentile)
Length: 25.5 (75th percentile)
Weight: 17lbs 4.2oz (90th percentile)
Four month picture to come .... probably tomorrow (Friday). Brayden is too worn out from his shots this morning for any pictures today. Poor guy! We love you Brayden and can't wait to see what this next month brings!!
