4 Months

Our little baby is 4 months old today! He just continues to be an absolute joy to us. We pushed him to the limits over the last week on our first family vacation and he just amazed us with how awesome he handled everything. Tons of fun...tons of fun!

In the last month, he has developed in many ways. Most enjoyable is his adorable little laugh which we get to share with him almost daily. He's also discovered that his tongue helps him make different noises and he's practicing talking to us much more.

The boy is definitely going to be a daredevil. In our playtime with him, his smile gets wider and his laughs louder the more we bounce, fly and toss him around. Now that he's just about mastered control of his neck, a new world of bouncy seats and spinning toys will be opened up to him for fun play.

Today, he had his 4 month check up. All was fine and dandy until vaccination time. The poor little guy fell apart after his shots! My easy going happy baby was a screaming mess for a while. After calming down, he was a happy boy again (as seen in the picture above) until this evening when he started not to feel well. It was the first time in his life where we could not comfort him. It was heartbreaking! After his first dose (in his life) of Tylenol, he finally cried himself to an early bedtime. Necessary evil those vaccinations. Hopefully, he'll wake up feeling better tomorrow!
