4 months

Happy 4 months little boy!

Weight: 13.9 pounds

Length: 26 inches 

• You have become so alert this month! You love sitting up (with help, although you're getting close to doing it on your own) and looking all around trying to take everything in. 
• You have started giggling more and have started to get ticklish! You laugh when Daddy tries to kiss on your neck when you feel his whiskers tickle you and you love to fly up in the air and laugh when we catch you. 
• You have started sleeping in your own room this month...I think it was much harder for Mommy to make the big step than for you. You are still sleeping like a champ every night (9-10 hours). 
• You are still wearing size 2 diapers, but have gone up to all 3-6 (mainly 6 month) clothes. Mommy had to pack away all of your newborn- 3 month outfits the other day and it was a little sad. When I look at those tiny outfits that used to be so big on you, it makes me realize how fast the time is going by, and how big you really are! 
• This month you went to your first family reunion. You got to meet all of the Schmeltekopf family and everyone there showered you with love! Can't believe that the next time you see many of them, you will be 2 years old! 
• You still love being in your swing and take some of your best naps there during the day. You also love any toy that plays music and lights up. Another toy that you have come to love is your stuffed bear. Whenever you are getting sleepy and we put Teddy in your arms, you instantly get comfortable and start to doze off. 
• You are a pro at rolling over and can go both ways (back to stomach, and stomach to back). You are very quick and try to roll over almost as soon as we lay you down somewhere. You even have started to try and roll over every time we change your diaper...making things a little bit more difficult.
• You found your toes this month and love reaching for them, especially when you have on colorful socks. 
• EVERYTHING goes in your mouth! You have gotten very good at grabbing objects and as soon as you get your hands on something, it immediately goes up to your mouth. You are drooling a ton and soak just about every outfit you have on. Chewing on your fingers, or anything, is your favorite thing to do! :)
