17 weeks/ 4 months

Today was CWH's four month birthday. He's getting big! Everyone says they grow up too fast, but for me it's just right. It's exciting to see what he'll do next. He's thing right now is that he likes to "stand" up. I hold him under his arms and let him "stand" on my lap. He wiggles around to try to keep his balance. I call it "mommy surfing" because surfing is exactly what it looks like. He enjoyed watching the kid in the mirror surf, too!

Today we went to a graduation party at a park while Steve was at work. CWH was in a good mood, but let me know when he was ready to go. The big step this evening was trying rice cereal. He was crying, and would stop crying after each spoonful, so it was hard to see if he knows how to use his tongue properly. He did take all of it, and his bottle afterwards. Everyone's been warning us not to expect much change in sleep pattern. We can only hope! It was messy, but mainly because it was runny, not because of CWH.

He's sleeping soundly. I wanted to get a cute pic for 4 months old as he looked so cute in his khaki overalls, but the timing didn't work out. I have to settle for him sleeping in his crib. (with no socks...Steve obviously gave him the bath tonight! )
