happy 4 months, miles!

miles is growing so quickly! he is already 4 months old!

4 month stats:
23 1/2" tall
14 pounds, 4 ounces

some of the new things he is doing:
1. sitting up very well with just a little bit of assistance. he holds his head up without any problems, he just needs to be stabilized to keep from tipping over.
2. very interested in colors, toys and books. he loves to grab for them and tries to bring them to his mouth. has a very good grip and is getting better control of his hands.
3. really pays attention to faces and voices. he is interacting a lot more now. loves when his big brother ethan comes by to talk to him or give him a hug.
4. still growing like crazy! he has his 4-month visit next week and i am very anxious to see how much he weighs. he is definitely bigger than ethan was at 4 months old!
5. smiling and giggling. a lot of mornings he wakes up and chatters and when you go out to see him he gets this huge grin. it takes up his whole face. it makes up for the several nighttime wake-ups.
6. hit the 4-month wakeful period. this is not exciting to me at all. ethan didn't really have this, but miles definitely seems to have times during the night where he just won't go back to sleep and he definitely isn't consistent with his sleeping even though i try my best to keep his routine very similar during the day. i am crossing my fingers that it won't last too long!
7. getting close to rolling over. he can get himself about 1/4 of the way there (onto his side) - he seems to think it is fun and also uses it as a way to scoot around a bit.
8. still sleeping in the living room in his co-sleeper and the couch. its working and right now we don't have another place to move him to, so we'll just keep it up until we have to change! i mean at some point he'll have to go into a crib!

i'll be updating this with any information from his well baby visit and definitely his stats, so check back!
