4 Month Check-up (Again 2 weeks late!)

As every parent can testify, SO much changes from month to month when you have an infant! Cash continues to "talk" non-stop but, as you witnessed in the video, he likes to make all kinds of new sounds. Sometimes when he's getting mad, he'll remember he can blow bubbles with his slobber and it cheers him right up! He's officially grabbing toys and hands and earrings and faces and anything else he can reach and holding them himself. He's putting most of those things in mouth too. Just after his check-up he started rolling over! Now he rolls from his back to his tummy to go to sleep. The best part about that is that he sleeps much longer on his tummy! We still use the magic blanket and if its near and he's tired, he grabs it and puts it over his face and falls asleep. We love the magic blanket although some strangers may think I'm smothering him. He's still (and probably always will be) completely enamored with his brother and sister.
His mother has not worked hard enough to get him on a really good schedule (see my posts coming on moving & spring break) so he sleeps through the night but not on a regular basis. Hopefully, now that we are moved in (for the most part) I'll be able to figure something out. One more excuse I'd like to share is it complicates things when we have Blake & Ashley half the time. It's hard to keep the schedule the same! So we're working on it. Another negative effect of this no-schedule thing are that we aren't confident to leave him with a babysitter and be sure he'll take a bottle and/or sleep. I'm dedicating this next week to our schedule and using the bottle a little more with Daddy.

At his doctor's appointment on March 6, Cash weighed 15.7 lbs and was 25.5 inches long. The doctor said we could start him on cereal and Stage 1 fruits and vegetables! We just started the cereal last night because I received some good advice from Rebekah to not start it until I was ready to do it every day. Again, the move really threw things off.

He's healthy and happy and growing. What more could we ask for?

I know there are an insane amount of pictures but I couldn't choose!

Watching Ultimate Fighting with Daddy...

Why did you leave me alone with Sissy?

Napping outside the office at the bakery.

Yeah? So.

Irresistable.

I can lift my head getting my diaper changed.

Sleeping.

Riding.

and playing.

What about it? I'm big.
