Milestones: 4 Months Old!

He always wakes up so happy!

Austin is now four months old and just had his four month checkup/shots yesterday. He is such a smart baby. As soon as the doctor walked in he knew exactly what was going to happen and totally freaked out on us.... poor guy :(. Just like last time, he cried for a little bit after the shots and then fell asleep by the time we got to the car. This time I was smarter and gave him the children's Tylenol BEFORE the after-pain set in and he did much better. He was a little grumpy and his legs hurt when you accidentally bumped them but overall he was pretty good. I enjoyed the extra cuddles too :). Josh was a little disheartened when Austin didn't want anything to do with him last night. I felt bad about that and had to explain to him that his son still loves him and that he just isn't feeling well and when you don't feel good you want your Momma!

At four months he is:

-25 inches long
-15lbs 4oz
-his head went from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile!
-learning how to roll over but hasn't figured out how to get his arm out from under him once he does.
-loves to smile and laugh but refuses to do it for the camera. It's so frustrating!
-no longer taking long naps (sad). He is now a power-napper so we do our best to get things done in the 20-30 minutes we have!
-talking up a storm in his own language. It's so cute because he talks himself to sleep at night and we love laying there in bed listening to him.
-learning how to scream whenever he gets super happy. There was even a day when he lost his voice because he had been screaming so much! It's hilarious! He suddenly gets all this energy and just can't hold it in!
-still breastfeeding like a champ!
-starting to get really attached to Mom and has a hard time letting strangers near him. He instantly looks around to make sure I am there when they come near him.
-loving football time with Daddy. While I am at work Josh sends me pictures of the two of them chillin' in front of the TV. I can't believe he actually lays there and watches it! I think we have a future football player on our hands ;).
-changing almost daily. It seems like he looks different every time I look over at him! I went to Costco the other day to print off pictures and I couldn't believe the difference over the last 2 months!
-having fun with Dad at night playing games with his blanket while Mom is in the shower. Josh will put the blanket over Austin's head and then pull it away really fast and Austin thinks that is hilarious! He has even learned how to do it himself!
-lot more interactive and has fun playing on the floor with is little plastic keys and toy radio.
