Four months, oh my!

Micah is 4 months old! I'll be honest, this month seemed to be a long month, but maybe that's because I've been back to work, or the fact that Micah seems to be so big and really coming in to a personality of his own. One of my favorite memories from this month happened over a couple of bath times in which Micah had this face of anticipation of cold when coming out of the bath. He would clench his teeth, lips tight, hands into fists and pure fear in his face of being cold! It was adorable and made Christian and I realize how he was developing in skill already. We tried to capture it on video, but he didn't do it, and hasn't since. He's now realized it's not that bad - another way in which he is maturing:)

Four month stats: 16 pounds, 4 ounces (77% for weight), 26 inches (85% for height), and 17.5 inch head circumference (95%). Looks like he got his head from his daddy ;)

The below pictures capture a story of Micah and Mickey:) He has a Mickey onesie, and when he wears it takes on the nickname "Micah Mouse," haha!

"Oh yea, another month with Mickey"

"That foot sure looks good!"

"Think I might just give this a taste."

"What?!? Why are you looking at me Mom?"

"Yum, yum. Best foot I've had yet."

"Seriously, Mom...what's wrong?"

"Oh, I'm NOT supposed to eat the foot?"

Things to remember:

• how you rolled over for the first time, but then that was it...you've only rolled over once!
• how you love to giggle:) especially when changing your clothes and you happen to get tickled
• how you have finally begun to enjoy your stroller rides
• how you are continually doing amazing in your night sleep as well as being able to put yourself to sleep...now if we could only get you there in your day time sleep...
• how you have begun to find your voice - meaning moments of screaming and shrieking, just to see what it sounds like
• how much you love to look in the mirror
• how you began to anticipate being cold from the bath, only to learn after 2 baths that it wasn't that bad
• how you pee in the bath every time we put you there, and have actually "directed" it to the toilet...meaning we have ALREADY begun to potty train you, haha!
• how you have begun to really reach out for items and grasp them
• how you have begun to notice when Frodo is around and actually try to grab his tail
• how happy you are when Daddy comes home, after not seeing him all day
• how you like to sleep on your left side with your head completely tilted back. we don't think it looks relaxing, but you sure seem to think so
• how you don't just smile with your face, you smile with your whole body
  

I just thought the below picture was cute. And, it's a good documentation of what Micah likes to do daily - lay on his playmat and put things in his mouth:)
