4 Months

Wow, I can't believe that Brayden is 4 months old! It has just flown by! He's becoming so much more interactive and aware - it's so neat to watch him grow and change. He's really grabbing at toys, blankets, mommies hair - anything he can get his hands on! And whatever he has in his hands goes straight to his mouth... followed by a funny face :) And he's still drooling up a storm and every now an then sucking on his bottom lip. He's still sucking his thumb and it's still the left one which has lead to some thinning of his hair on that side of his head because he's always on that side. He's doing really well with holding his head up and today... he rolled over!!! I sit on the floor with him and roll him back an forth applauding each time we roll and today I rolled him from his back to his belly and on his own he right away rolled over onto his back! Daddy was so sad he missed it but later that evening when Ryan was home Brayden was SO close to rolling from his back to his belly! He'll be rolling all over the place before we know it! I am pretty sure that he also knows his name because he'll look at you when you say it and some times startle a little. He's changing right before our very eyes! We also picked out his 3month pictures this week (thank you Grandma :-)) and boy are they cute! My favorite one is a picture of him on his belly, holding his head up high with his chubby cheeks hanging down because they are so big! :) I just want to squeeze em! Happy 4 months Bray, I love you!!!
