Dear Davis–4 Months

     Oh Davis.  I say it every month, but you are the absolute best!  You are sweet and fun and precious.  I’m a few days late with this monthly, but I wanted to wait until our doctor’s appointment, so I could have all of your latest stats.  We are definitely in a honeymoon stage with you, and I love it!

     This month was a big one!  You’ve really cemented this whole rolling over thing.  As soon as I lay you down, you roll right to your belly.  It’s the strangest roll I’ve ever seen.  Most babies like to stretch out, so it’s easy to roll over their arm…not you, Peanut.  You squeeze your arms to your side, and power roll straight over.  It’s hilarious.  You can go belly to back, but it’s taken a backseat to the more fun option of back to belly.  As soon as you get on your belly, you grunt and push your knees into the floor because you want so badly to move.  You grunt and lift up your arms and legs like Superman.  I have a feeling you’ll be pushing or army crawling very soon.  Natalie and Granny have bet the you’ll be crawling by Christmas.  You’ve also figured out those hands.  You can grab and push and squeeze (and scratch).  When you’re on your mat, you grab at all the hanging toys and pull so hard it looks like they might break off!  You absolutely love to sit up, but you can’t quite do it alone.  You are so close though!
     You almost never spit up anymore, and you’ve learned how to spit and blow bubbles into your bottle.  You are still so intense, but I love every minute of it!  We learned this month that you are definitely cold natured.  You cannot stand to catch a chill, so at night, we keep you very bundled up.  You are so fun and sweet and happy, and I love showing you off to everyone!

IMG_1906You really think you can hold your bottle.

IMG_1907I’m afraid you’re going to break these little things off!

IMG_1923You love sitting up…for about 3 minutes.  Then you arch your back and try to jump out.

You make the sweetest faces.

     Your doctor thinks you’re doing great! Of course I agree.  She told us that we can start introducing some food this month, and I cannot wait!  You are becoming such a little person with the best personality, and we are so thankful for you.  You are the perfect fit for our family, and make us so proud!  I love watching you grow!

It is seriously so hard for me to narrow down these pictures every month.
