Paxton 4 months

Dear Paxton,

You have changed so much this last month.  You are now a very happy and smiley baby.You will let most anyone hold you without a fuss. Unless you are tired or hungry, then you want your Mama.

You love to eat your fingers, which is a relief because you still don't take a pacifier.  But chewing on those fingers helps you to soothe for a minute or two.  You are also interested in food.  You really watch when people are eating and are starting to try and grab my plate.

You are one strong little boy.  You have rolled over from tummy to back and from back to tummy a handful of times, but it isn't your favorite thing to do.  You do however love to kick your legs! when giving you a bath you will kick, kick, kick your legs and push off the edge of the bath.

You don't mind tummy time as much anymore, especially if you are propped up.  You like to pull your feet up underneath you and try to scoot forward. You also constantly try to sit up by yourself.  You have some amazing ab muscles! If you are laying on your back with your head propped up, you try to throw yourself forward.

Your 4 month Dr. appt didn't go as well as your 2 month. You were pretty fussy after the shots.  But you made it through.  You weigh 14 lbs 6.8 oz(29th %,) 25.75 inches tall(74th%,) and your head is in the 96th %.  You are still wearing 0-3 month onsies, 3-6 month jammies and rompers, and are growing out of size 2 diapers! Slow down, baby!

Love,

Mama
