4 months old

My little boy is growing like a weed! He's weighing in at 16 lbs 5 ounces and is 25 1/2 inches long!

Genetics are a funny thing. Most children suck their thumb or a pacifier, well, not my husband. He sucked on 2 fingers upside down so that his finger tips were on the roof of his mouth. Check out this picture!

Like father, like son or what?!?

Our favorite time with Ben is the morning. There is nothing better that seeing his face light up when we come into his room to get him up for the day. Everyday is like this but on Saturday and Sunday mornings after he eats, we bring him back to our room to play. He lays between us kicking, swinging his arms, smiling and giggling as we tell him stories and sing songs. Eventually, he wears out and we all take a little nap.

At 4 months old, Benjamin:

• lights up when he sees Momma and Daddy!
• loves to splash during bath time
• loves to talk and be talked to. He gets frustrated when he doesn't have a chance to answer
• Waits for you to say "fudish" after he sneezes and "saha" after he caughs. He even fake caughs just to get you to respond. little stinker!
• is switching his toys from hand to hand
• is putting absolutely everything in his mouth
• has discovered his hands and is starting to be interested in his toes. Can't wait until those go in his mouth too :)
• Has tried carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas and pears but his absolute favorite ..... peas! I can't figure it out but am not complaining!!
• has his first tooth starting to poke through
