4 months!

Nathan is 4 months old today! He's developing pretty fast it seems and so I've had to adapt to his new actions and attempts to communicate. His tired cry is much much different than it used to be. He'll make his body stiff as a board as he wails and the only thing that comforts him is laying on our bed and being fed as he drifts off to sleep. He only does this for naps, not for bedtime.

He seems to be sleeping more at night which is great. Sunday night he slept for eight hours! Last night he woke up once around 2:30 then slept through till 7:30am. It's great that he's sleeping in his own room now; I feel that I'm getting more sleep since I'm not waking up to every little sound he makes and when he does wake up in the middle of the night he usually can fall back asleep on his own.

He's also nearly mastered the art of turning over from back to belly so I need to watch out for that especially since he naps on our bed. Usually when he wakes up he doesn't cry, he just plays with his feet and babbles. He makes raspberry sounds now which I think is adorable, except when I'm feeding him solids. Feeding time tends to be quite messy :)

He has a favorite toy, it's just a teething square but he loves it. We just call it his "square", haha.

He's also laughing a lot more and really talking with his baby babble. He loves getting kisses and when I say "give mommy a kiss" he'll actually open his mouth and press it against my cheek. I always say "thank you!" after and he just squeals with delight. He loves it when my husband puts the top of his head near his face. He'll grab his hair and talk to my husband's head. I'll have to take a video of that next time.

I'm doing better. My carpal tunnel is almost completely gone! Actually, I don't think I've had any mistakes in this post that I've had to correct, yay! I'm doing better emotionally as well. I cried a few times yesterday over small things but I think it's hormones/PMS. My PPMD group is going good. I haven't been out with the other woman from my group yet but hopefully soon.

I'm going to be visiting my dad in a few weeks which I'm really looking forward to. He's had some health problems the past few weeks and I really want to spend some time with him and have him finally meet his grandson. I think Nathan is the 10th grandchild in the family now and only one of those is a girl!

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll post some pictures soon.
