Month 4 June 30-July 30

Aunt Meredith and Uncle Seth got married this month. It was great because I got to meet lots of new family members and family friends for the first time. I wore my first tuxedo ( tuxedo onsie) for family photos. The Sunday brunch was funny. I fell asleep in my stroller and cousin Miles fell asleep in his stroller. Uncle Joel babysat "stroller row" as we slept side by side. My Grandparents from St Louis came in town to celebrate with us. It was great spending time with them again. They babysat me during the bridal party luncheon. I loved the one on one time.

I had my 4 month doctor visit this month. I looked great and was right on track with my growth curve. I weighed 16 lbs 6 oz, 58%, I was 25.25 inches tall, 46%, and my head circumference was 16.73 inches, 71 %.. I was a nice brother and shared my lollipop with Hannah. She loves the doctor bc of those lollipops. I am getting so big that mom has noticed that some size 6 month clothing is  already small on me and I can wear 9 month. I also moved into size 3 diaper which is only 1 below Hannah.

Mom went back to work this month:( We had a fun start to the summer together, but the day had to come when she returned. It is admirable to see both my parents working hard and it makes them coming home that much more special ;) I give huge gummy smiles when I see them come home each day. I have been hanging out with Claudia and Hannah. Claudia takes great care of us and we are lucky to spend the days with her! We have started fun things like going to story time at the library.

Mom, Dad, Hannah and I have started going to the zoo a few times. I have even taken rides on the train.

I have started bringing my hands together at midline, I have started grasping and holding things! I am also getting better at holding my head up. Mom still loves that I am such a "smiley baby!"

I got another little cold this month....snotty, coughing and congested:(.  It makes mom and dad sad to see me feeling sick. Unfortunately, we go through a non fun cycle of everyone exchanging colds our the house.
