4 months?!

I can't believe tomorrow my baby boy will be 4 months old! Where oh where have the last 4 months gone?? They have flown by and it makes me sad! Although, he is getting into the fun stages. He is learning something new every day and I am constantly amazed by him.

He is working really hard on rolling from his back to his tummy. He has been rolling from his tummy to his back since we brought him home from the hospital!! TOTALLY crazy, I know. We can't even do tummy time anymore because he instantly rolls over!

One of my most favorite times with him is when he first wakes up in the morning. He is the SWEETEST thing in the world. He just smiles and "talks" to me. He says "o,o,o" over and over again. It melts my heart. He really is the sweetest thing ever.

This week I decided to try him in his exersaucer. He has GREAT head control, so I figured it was time. He LOVES it. Of course, it only last for about 20 minutes, but I will take it! He loves all the lights and music. Definitely a MUSIC baby!! (Side note: A nap time we HAVE to have Praise Baby music going. It is the ONLY way he will go to sleep. And it has to be Praise Baby! I guess he remembers the Praise and Worship music from being in the womb. Its all I listen to!)

I had to take him to his first sick doctors appointment last Thursday. He was so fussy, wouldn't eat (which is UNLIKE him!) and would wake up them minute we got him to sleep. I figured he had an ear infection. Well, we got to the doctor and he IMMEDIATELY started laughing and smiling. Can we say WASTE of $30?! HA! Oh well, better safe than sorry. YES, he was FINE. Doctor didn't see anything except a little bit of a red throat.

We got the go ahead and start cereal with him when we went to the doctor. However, I will be waiting until our appointment on the 24th to give it to him again. It hurt his little tummy so BAD. The sad thing is, he LOVES it. Can't get enough of it!

At 4 months old, Mr. Carter: You weigh 16 pounds 3 oz. (You have gained 10 pounds in 4 months-GOOD JOB BUDDY!) You LOVE Praise Baby, Get so happy when your daddy comes home from work, smile constantly, LOVE LOVE LOVE the bath tub and of course love being held by your mommy. Love sucking on your thumb or your index and middle finger.

Things you don't like: You hate being seperated from mommy and daddy at night time. (So of course you get your way and sleep with us. HA!) You hate tummy time. (It makes you REALLY mad!) You don't like bottles. (You would rather have the real thing. LOL!) You don't like your pacifier anymore. (which is FINE with me!)

Sweet Carter,
It is so hard to believe that tomorrow will mark the one year date of finding out I was pregnant with YOU and that you will be 4 months old. You are such a sweet and happy baby. You make me the proudest mommy in the world and are the apple of my eye. I love you more than anything sweet baby!
