It is so hard to believe my sweet baby boy is already four months old! It seems like so much has changed in the last month.
Erik jabbers constantly, with facial expressions to match so it feels like a real conversation!
As it turns out, my little dude is a morning person (my husband and I are not). He is so sweet, smiley, and cuddly in the morning, however, it's hard to be mad about that.
Erik scoots all over the place, doing the G.I. Joe crawl and pulling himself around.
Little dude is very strong, and can pull himself up to a seated position. He is doing great at holding his head up, and will sit up all on his own for short periods of time now (he is learning balance quickly). Still a ways to go yet for unassisted sitting for long periods, but we are getting there!
Erik sleeps for long stretches at a time now, although not always all through the night.
Baby boy is teething, with his bottom two teeth already poking through.
My sweet Erik surprised us recently when he demonstrated his ability to roll from his back to his tummy... off the couch and onto the floor!
Little guy is enjoying trying a bite or two of orange yogurt and banana baby food. Not going nuts with it yet, but he is the best behaved baby I've ever seen with food: it all stays in his mouth. I can't believe it. He really likes his rice cereal, too. He gets that sometimes in his bottle.
He continues to love baths and water. He just figured out this past week or two how to splash. I see swimming in his future!
Bottom line, my baby Erik is so sweet, so precious, and so stinkin' cute that I still have no idea how Matt and I get anything done around here. Like right now, I'm trying to type this and he is just staring at me with his big blue eyes and it just makes me melt. :)
