Four Months Old

Dear Parker,
On January 5th, you turned FOUR months old. You are soooooo much fun these days. Your personality is really developing. You love life and being surround by familiar faces. You bring a HUGE smile to my face. This past month included alot of "firsts".  Here are some:

1st Christmas

1st time eating rice cereal

1st time rolling over (from belly to back)

1st time sleeping all night in your crib

Here are some other things you've been up to lately:

• You've discovered "screaming". You make your voice squeal like a scream.
• You've discovered how to grab your feet with your hands.
• You can pull your socks off.
• You enjoy sitting up (assisted) to play.
• You can hold your head up while laying on your belly.
• You can push up with your hands on your belly.
• You can bear weight on both of your legs.
• You make a new "razzing" sound.
• You recognize your name.
• You make BIG splashes during bath time now, getting Mommy and Daddy soaked.

You continue to:

• Laugh
• Coo
• Smile
• Grasp toys
• Turn your head to familiar voices
• LOVE bath time

You have been working hard on teething. No teeth have popped through yet, but I'm sure it won't be long now. You were "sleeping through the night" from 10pm to 7pm. You must have hit a growth spurt because around the 4 month mark you started waking up to eat again, which is fine with Mommy because one day I know that I'm gonna miss that. The past 4 months have been the most challenging yet rewarding time of my life. I treasure each day that we have together and thank God that he picked me to be your Mommy. We love you Parker Allen. May the Lord continue to bless you and keep. May He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Love,
Mommy
