Seriously. He's cute.
So, here's the low down on four months:
- SLEEP. This guy bare sleeps at all during the day, but makes it a whopping 10-11 hours over night. Awe.some.
- He's really getting strong. LOVES to stand up, sit up, all the ups.
- He's just starting to grab at his feet and at toys. So cute. I love this stage
- TEETH! what? Yep, AsherBear cut his first tooth one week before the four month mark and the second one came two days later.
- aaaannnnddd - we were really sick this month! Sweet little guy was at the doctor four times in six days: friday night and sunday night urgent care and then tuesday and wednesday at his pediatrician. We did tons of breathing treatments, were swabbed for pertussis and flu, had an ear infection, too antibiotics and steroids for leftover lung inflammation from the RSV last month, prayed a lot and FINALLY got better. AsherBear smiled the whole time - I think he's the only one who did. The rest of us were tired of those silly ol' breathing treatments!
- We had lots of visits and snuggles from BooBoo while being sick. BooBoo was a HUGE help!
- We got to celebrate Nana's 60th birthday!
- Mommy secretly got some real chuckles from this baby. Makes my heart so happy!
- Asher loves to read books, he likes to look at the TV when it's on. He loves his floor time. I get the biggest smiles when he gets to play on the floor! He's rolling to his sides easily.
- Your nicknames are still AsherBear, AsherRhino (griffin!), hey buuuudy (griffin), Angel, Baby
- And - believe it or not - your favorite song seems to be "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid. It's not your fault. For some reason, I started singing this to you and it works every. single. time. to get you to sleep. In my opinion, you've got great taste! ;)
