4 Months Have Flown By...

Connor attempting to eat green beans! He likes them and eats really well.
It is hard to believe that Connor is 4 months old already. I thought I would list the things we all love about him.

1. The way his face lights up when he smiles. Especially when he hears his brother or sister talking.
2. How excited he gets taking a bath. He actually laughs this hearty laugh when you pour water on his head.
3. His cute little round face and belly.
4. How easily he lays down to nap for his mommy! He is now sleeping from 7:30 at night if we can keep him up that long to 7:30 or 8 the next morning. Yes, I lucked out for the 3rd time!
5. Watching him trying to crawl already. He is not still anymore.
6. Seeing his tiny toes curl up.
7. Singing to him and having him put his little head on my shoulder. There is no better feeling than Connor snuggling up with me!
8. Watching him trying to eat food now.
9. Staring into his crib while he sleeps. He curls up into a ball with his legs under him and never moves.
10. Hearing him start giggling in the car for no reason at all!

We went to Dr. Porter today for our check-up and he told me he was a healthy, happy keeper!
Connor weighs 17 pounds! All that rice cereal we have to put into his bottles has really beefed him up. He was my smallest baby at birth but now has passed the other two at this age. He was 25 1/2 inches long. That put into the 50% for height and between 50-75% for weight. We adjusted his reflux medicines again. He asked a lot of questions about what he was doing at this point and he was already doing what he expected a 6 month old to do! He was surprised when Connor got up on his knees and tried to crawl but was more surprised that he could stand up so well. Then he got the dreaded shots!
He got 4 today and they made him even sleepier than usual.
These 4 months have really flown by and I can truly say we all feel very blessed to have this sweet boy in our lives!
We love you Connor.
