4 Months

Ty has really come out of his shell so to speak this month, and his personality is starting to shine. He is still a calm baby. But he has found his voice and his feet this month, and he is enjoying exercising both of those things. He is really filling out these days! His pediatrician made the comment that he was "quite chunky" and that he looked like a 6 month old. He's smaller than our other babies were, so we think he's "normal," ha!  Here are some other facts about Ty at 4 months. He:

• LOVES t.v. especially the Baby Faith videos (these are a must!)
• Likes the exersaucer and the "Jumperoo" (Yay for something else to do for entertainment!)
• HATES to be on his stomach. He hasn't rolled over yet due to the fact that tummy time is miserable for him. But he's getting really close! Not sweating it ... our other two were late rollers and turned out just fine :) 
• Has the sweetest giggle, and he gets cranked up and squeals when you tickle him and sing to him.
• Chews and drools constantly!! Seems early for a tooth, but at the way he is acting maybe one is on its way. 
• Has regressed significantly in the area of sleep over the last month. I'll just leave it at that... Whew!! Perhaps due to the previous point?? The last few nights have been better, so maybe we are getting back on track.
• Has started baby food and does not like it at. all.  But I know for many babies it just takes time to get used to it. 
• Takes 3 naps (and sometimes a little cat nap) on the few days that he's home all day and has the opportunity :) 
• Weighs 16 lbs and is 25 inches long. He had his 4 month shots a couple weeks ago and did great.
• Is really just the sweetest, cuddliest little thing ever!!

 Check out those thighs!

 This is the same response to peas, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and bananas :/

Always chewing on those hands and drooling. He loves the toys on the saucer too. He is all business when he "works" on them.
