month four

Sweet, sweet Bodey Frank. You are the bomb, little man. You are such a perfect little fit for our family and we LOVE you so very much!

He is getting such a personality.  His smiles take up his whole face and he will smile at pretty much anything and anyone, happiest babe! We haven't gotten a belly laugh out of him yet, but his big bro was super stingy with laughs too! We've gotten a few little chuckles and smiles so big he's silently giggling, but no actual laughs yet. 

Bodey enjoys a nice meal followed by some playtime (on his playmat where he rolls around and pulls on his blue holy ball, on a blanket on the floor where he plays on his belly and back, and more recently in his bumbo!) followed by a nice nap.  Which is 30 minutes some days and 2 hours another lol.

This kid LOVES to sit up. He really enjoys being in the bumbo, especially up on the counter while I'm in the kitchen doing stuff. He likes being in the action. He likes when you sit him up or stand him up on your lap too. He loves being in the carrier and being held and snuggled. Another snuggly baby! He started rolling over belly to back at about 3.5 months and back to belly about a week or so before turning 4 months. He loves laying on his back and lifting his legs way in the air and trying to grab his feet.  Also LOVES eating his hands!

A normal day looks like this:

7-8 am: wake up HAPPY!, eats shortly after he wakes up, naps around 9/930 am

11am/12pm: eat, play, nap

2/3pm: eat, play, nap

530/630 pm: eat, play, catnap (some nights)

830 pm: into slipcase, nurses to sleep, lay in bassinet

Sleeps until 4/5 am! Eats again and back to sleep

He still sleeps and naps in his bassinet in our room, we haven't moved him to his crib yet. Still swaddled in his sleep sack, although he's starting to break his arms out.  He has requested his Mama go dairy free, just as his big bro did, and I'm gladly doing it to know his belly will feel better!
