4 Months Old

Where has the time gone?  My baby boy is four months old!  It seems like only yesterday we were coming home from the hospital, excited and nervous, with our precious little bundle of joy.  He's not so little anymore as the pictures below demonstrate.  Every month I take a couple of pictures to capture how Will is changing and growing.

What's Will up to this month?  Well, he's sleeping through the night and even has a bedtime, between 9-10pm.  Hopefully that keeps up.  Naps are still a bit inconsistent.  It doesn't help that he knows how to wiggle out of his swaddle blanket and take his paci out - he's a clever little guy.  He is babbling a lot, recently some of the talking almost sounds like the beginning of words.  Mark and I have a bet on whether he'll say "mama" or "dada" first. I'm pretty sure Mark will win since all the books say d's are easier to say than m's - it's definitely not an indication of which parent he likes more :). Stay tuned for the results. Will is grabbing at anything he can get his hands on - my hair, shirt, toys, blankets - he even helps hold his bottle when eating.  He loves to blow bubbles, squeal with happiness (and frustration) and laugh with delight.  He likes music, especially when we sing to him.  Overall he is one happy boy (he'd be even happier if we let him watch TV more often - it's amazing how enthralled he is by the "magic light box").  I can't wait to see how much he's grown at his 4mo. doctor appointment next week.
