I'm 4 Months Old Today!

Here I am at 4 months old. Finally, a smile! And of course, my hand in my mouth. You'll start to see a trend forming here.

Let's call this my month of discovery. In the past few weeks I have become so aware of my surroundings. I'm constantly looking around and am fascinated by movement, color and light. I grab and pull at my toys and try to put everything in my mouth. I am obsessed with my mouth - everything goes in it, especially my hands! My favorite is my left index finger. It calms me down when I'm upset or tired.

I know my mom and dad so well now. I love to touch and explore their face and just stare at them with my big blue eyes. We have so much fun playing with my toys and listening to music. Mom and dad dance for me all the time but they look pretty silly.

My big news is that I am rolling over now! It started because I hate tummy time and wanted off my belly. But now I roll from my back to my stomach all the time. It's quite a rush!

I'm also giggling a lot and mom and dad have even managed to capture it on camera a few times. We just have so much fun together, laughing and playing. Mom and dad take me everywhere so I am taking in all the sights and sounds of the world. Mom says she just loves hanging out with me and showers me with kisses and hugs all day long. We are a blessed family.

I'm looking forward to my third flight back to California for Thanksgiving next week. I can't wait to see my family again. I'm sure I will have tons of fun pics to post. But for now, here are a few pics of me from the past few weeks. Talk to you again in a month!

Caught laughing...until I noticed the camera was on me! Mom says the sound of my laugh is the best sound in the world.

My first picnic and trip to Piedmont Park with mom and dad. It was a rare 75 degree November day - just gorgeous! We were joined by mommies friends Sarah and Olivia. I brought my fingers for lunch. Tasty!

Here I am straight chillin shirtless at the park. Mom actually caught a slight smile on camera! But I ruined it by sticking my hand in my mouth.

This t-shirt is from my Aunt Dani and Uncle Lionel in Chicago. I love you Auntie!!!

As you can see I am starting to roll over now. Look out world!

My bumbo helps make me strong so I can sit up by myself. Because we all know what happens when I can sit up - solid foods!!!

Mom got me my first set of Nerf Balls but I really don't know what to do with them yet. So, of course, I just put my favorite finger in my mouth. Dad can't wait until we can go out throw a real ball around.

I may not know what a football is, but I can wrap my freakishly large hands around one!

I only have two words for this one....Blue Steel!
