4 months old

I can't believe my handsome little buddy is already 4 months old!  I love every bit of him, we are very attached.  I admit I am just as attached to him and he is to me.  Hanging out with my bud these past 4 months has been priceless.  I am so lucky to have been able to take so much time off of work.  I am making a very conscious effort to continue to enjoy every minute of every day and not think about the dreaded day I head back to work....

Anyway, enough about my sorrows back to my little dude!  He is the cutest and obviously the biggest 4 month old ever!  He stares at me all day and every time I look at him he smiles or laughs.  And he loves when I sing.  So you can imagine how I spend my days, not doing much else but smiling with him!  He can almost sit by himself the rolls around his waist pretty much keep him up.  He loves his blanket, giraffe and elephant that hangs from his car seat (which by the way he is almost too big for!).  He goes NUTS for books and magazines.  I mean just about jumps out of my lap it is hilarious.  He is so strong and loves being on his tummy I am sure he'll be an early crawler unlike Emmy who just sat forever.  He LOVES his sister.  She is the first to go in his room every morning and he is all smiles.  They are so cute together.  I love watching him in the mirror when we are driving in the car as he just quietly looks out the window or when he stares at me when we take a walk.  The little bugger still only naps 30 minutes at a time and has been a devil at nighttime.  He wakes up pretty much every 20 minutes from 6:30 - 10:30 every night, it has been pretty brutal.  Then is I am lucky he will only wake up 1-2 times until the morning.  Yes, I am pretty tired!

I never imagined how quickly I'd fall completely in love with the little guy and how amazing it is to watch him already interact with Emmy.  The other day Emmy was reading him a book as he was trying to grab it and she was just laughing away.  It was one of those moments I was able to sit back and watch and will never forget.  Having kids is the best.  Now I just need to convince Josh that we may need just one more... ;)

His legs barely fit in the bumbo!

Can he be any bigger?!

I have been putting him in the carrier a lot and he is finally starting to like it!  He actually fell asleep in it at the xmas parade.

 This is what I look at when I carry him around in the carrier.  Is that not the cutest!  I love it!  He puts his arms around me like he is holding on :)

I love this picture.  Mohawk, toes and blocks :)

Look how much fun he is having with his sister!

How we spend a lot of our afternoons.  Snuggling on the couch, holding my hand

The absolute loves of my life.
