4 Months


Dear Aiwyn,
On Monday you turned 4 months old. Wow, I think time speeds up when you have a child. Today at your doctor's visit you weighed 15 pounds and you are 24 3/4 inches long.

You're getting good with grasping things and putting them in your mouth. Your fingers and hands (yes, almost the whole hand) are your favorite things to put in your mouth. Second place is a two-way tie between your dress/shirt and your burp cloths. It was hard to capture your four month photo showing your number four because you were either clasping your hands or putting them in your mouth.



You are pretty good at grasping your pacifier and pulling it out of your mouth and putting it back in. With all this mouth action your drool volume has significantly increased. Your back is quite strong and you're great at doing the yoga sphinx position. We're still waiting on you to pull out the cobra and support your weight with your arms. You are sitting up with minimal support. We are starting to think you have an unhealthy obsession with Fred or fans in general. We mentioned this to your pediatrician today and she said "fans are like baby crack." So true! You are almost rolling over. You get 1/2 there and end up turning your whole body around in a circle like hands on a clock. You did fully roll over one time with your Pops and I watching it was pretty cool watching you do that. For the past month- month 1/2 you have been the BEST sleeper. You go to bed around 10 pm and sleep until about 6 am. I usually have to wake you at 6 so I can feed you before work. Then you go back to bed until 9:30 or 10:00 am. You still always wake up smiling. We never have to get you out of bed because you are crying. You get your love of sleeping from me and your happy waking from your Pops. You are quite a smiley baby. You love to smile, laugh and coo. You have the Rogers' smile eyes- they close into little half moons. I love it when your smiles are for me.... call me greedy, I am when it comes to you.
Mucho,
Mama

That last picture is priceless!

Congrats on her sleeping so well! It took Bennett about this long - maybe longer - to sleep through the night. I hope she keeps it up!

And Bennett was completely obsessed with the fan in our living room. As soon as he could sit up on his own and wasn't constantly on his back, he moved on to other things. Like coasters, tupperware, and Stewie's tail.
