Mr. Piggy's 4 Months Old

Our Little turned 4 months this week. I know it was the same with Curtis, but it seems like they change so much so quickly. Lately, he has really begun chatting, he seems to love his voice. And he loves to laugh and give sly little smiles (although we can never catch them on camera).  I began oatmeal baby cereal with him this morning, although he just drooled most of it out. And speaking of the drooling, I'm pretty sure he's teething, although, like Curtis, I think this first tooth is gonna take forever. At least he is not extra fussy, just really drooly, and wants to nurse, all. the. time. He still won't take a bottle, but I will continue to try in the hopes that I can be at the clinic for longer periods of time. At this point, though, I'm only there a few hours a week cause Judah takes maybe an ounce as self-preservation, but he just waits for me to get home, then spends the rest of the day nursing. He is starting to grab at toys, really watch Curtis and Baxter as they play around, and he tries to sit up, but usually falls over. He actually enjoys tummy time, which is shocking, but I think it helps that he usually has Curtis to watch while he's on his belly. And the last major change is that he has decided he doesn't really like sleep anymore. A lot of nights, after I nurse him, he just looks up at me with this big grin on his face like it's party time. So we are up a lot at night. But thankfully, when Isaac is here, he does help out when he can, which is awesome because I can get a little sleep. 

This next month is gonna be a busy one, but one we have looked forward to for months. The fun starts tomorrow with a day trip to the Outer Banks to hang out with the Perez/Lamb family, which I am super excited for. It'll be both the boys first beach trip this season, so I'm excited to see how Curtis is gonna do on the beach and at the pool. On Monday, we head out to the country for a Labor Day party with my nurse friends and all their families. And then in a week and a half, Isaac's family comes for a visit. It'll be the first time they've met Judah in person. We are looking so forward to spending time with them and introducing them to Judah. I know Curtis will have so much fun playing with his cousin Malakai. And it'll be the first time since the wedding that Lydia and Malakai have been out to the east coast, so it should be a great 10 days :)

Here's Judah's 4 month pictures. I did Curtis's 6 month pictures in these dress blues, but I'm pretty sure Judah won't fit in to them by then, so I decided to take them while they still fit.

We had to take a time out here because Judah was getting a little fussy. The time out didn't work though, but still a cute picture. He's such a great dad!
