Letter to Alex: Month 4

Dear Alex,



Today you turn 4 months old! You are just over 14 lbs and 25 1/2 inches long! You are getting so big! We saw a baby the other day that is only 2 months and he seems so much smaller than you. The doctor says we can now start you on baby foods now too! You're chewing on everything and drooling like crazy. I think you'll be getting a tooth pretty soon.



You love to be up and looking around and bouncing and I think you would prefer walking already if you had better balance. You are always bouncing on our knees and just love to be moving. I think I'll break out the excersaucer and see what you think of that. You are working hard at sitting up. You can sit kind of hunched over like a squatting frog for a few minutes before your head knocks you over. You can also roll from your tummy to your back sometimes but not from your back to your tummy yet. You'll get there!

You are sleeping through the night now which is wonderful and you seem to have a pretty good schedule. You love to laugh and talk to everybody - especially Jarom. And Jarom loves you just as much as you love him. When you cry he sings you songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to try to get you to stop crying. It doesn't really work but it's cute that he tries anyways.

We love having you in our family and can't wait to watch you grow more and more.



Love, Mommy
