Brian is 4 months old!


It's amazing how fast a month can go by. Brian is growing and changing all the time. Some of the more notable things are:
--He's losing his hair (and so am I!)
--He can hold his head up better and can now sit in his Bumbo.
--He smiles all the time now, and it's getting easier to make him laugh.
--He wears 9 month clothes. He seemed to skip the 6-9 month size, which is sad because there are so many clothes that he didn't get to wear! It's also crazy to me that he's wearing the same size clothes as babies twice his age.
--He's starting to drool a lot (YUCK), but realized last night that he can blow some fun raspberries with that drool!
--Brian is working hard on rolling over. He doesn't have it down yet, but he will arch his back and you just want to help him get that last little bit so he can roll over! A couple of Brian's friends have rolled from stomach to back first, but Brian is working on going from back to stomach.

We are going to try some rice cereal soon. We'll see if he still has the gag reflex, or if he can eat it. I kind of hope that he can eat the cereal and that it'll help him sleep longer through the night, although I read a study recently that said that feeding babies cereal doesn't necessarily make them sleep longer through the night. The article was actually talking about putting cereal into a bottle, but I have a feeling it might transfer to cereal in a bowl.

This is too funny--Kayleigh just got up from her nap and was sad because Erik didn't get her. She said to him later, "I cried because you didn't come get me. I freaked out." HA!
