4 Months of Pure Joy

Graham turned four months yesterday. It's hard believe it's been that long and then again it also feels like he's always been with us. I wake him up at 7:00 am every morning and can't wait to see his smiling face. He is such a joy and the time we get to spend with him is so special to us both. We are still in awe at the gift we've been given. Being parents is better than we ever expected and I can't wait to have more! More on that next year. ;)

A lot has happened since I last posted. He now weighs 17 pounds (official weigh in will be Monday at his doctor's appointment), he dropped his swaddle and is rocking his sleep sack (I may have cried) and he had his first haircut! He gets another round of shots on Monday and we can't wait to see if his pediatrician will allow him to start on baby food and/or cereal. We are thinking it might be a no since he still has trouble with holding his head up on his own but we are hopeful. This kid LOVES to eat as you can tell!

He also loves playing his piano, singing, books, loud toys with lights, stroller rides, bath, naps, milk, his pacifier, his changing table in the pack n play, fans and overhead lights. He doesn't like tummy time (although tolerating it a little more now), diaper changes after naps and strangers. We are planning on starting him in the church nursery this Sunday to see how he does. He's a mama's boy so we need to get him used to other people and at four months we feel it's time. Speaking of time, it's going WAY TOO FAST! Slow down buddy. We waited 10 years for you and we are trying to soak up every second.
