4 months!

my rockwell is 4 months old!!! how is this happening so dang fast? sometimes i wish i could somehow remember everything so vividly, so i never forget how life is at this very moment. he is always learning something new and changing so quickly. here are a few things i want to remember about rockwell at 4 months...

this boy loves to wiggle
he giggles and smiles when we tickle him
he likes to play... i think he's going to be a little jokester
when i lift him up above my head he loves it
he gnaws on his fists like crazy
super drooly & the past week has had a runny nose, he's definitely teething
he is super smiley in the morning when we go get him out of his crib
he still sleeps in his swaddle & usually sleeps 8-10 hours a night
some nights he still wakes up to eat, but usually goes right back to bed
he sits in his bumbo & his beetle walker without looking like a bobble head
he's started to do this moan/whine thing instead of just crying when he's cranky, which i actually prefer
he doesn't like his carseat all that much so he often cries while we drive
loves his baths and peed on me this week while i was bathing him, it was kind of funny
has gone in the pool a few times and loves being in his floatie
he's getting better at holding onto toys & getting them into his mouth. he's also really good at using his feet to grab his toys when he plays on his mat
bed time is my favorite time, he gets changed, swaddled and nursed and falls asleep in my arms. it's the best. i love having those quiet moments to hold my baby before i lay him down. i think i'll remember this the most when he's all grown up.
even though some days are frustrating, there are so many wonderful things to be happy about and grateful for
