I could not have asked for a better little baby! He is sweet, happy, laid back and a total flirt! He loves watching people talk. He gets very serious as he stares at their mouths moving, then bursts into the sweetest most inviting grin. Its a fun combination of the two other kids (serious like Mallory and joyful like Wesley). He looks JUST like Mallory 90% of the time, then a moment later a glimpse of Wesley will come out... and every once in a while we'll get to see him and him alone.
He is 4 months old and is over 26 inches long, over 14 pounds and has a sweet tiny little head. His hemangioma is still there and I love to kiss it. It's fun because everyone asks about it (kids and adults alike). Most people think he must have had a really big bump to his head. I like it because its something fun and medical to talk to people about... he likes it because he has people looking at and touching him.
I just started to feed him occasional solids. So far he has had avocado and fresh cooked beets. He loves the avocado.... and is not sure about the beets. He occasionally sucks on a pacifier... but prefers his thumb! He can stay in a sitting position if placed there (ok it's more like a tripod position), and rolls back and forth (front to back, back to front) like nobody's business! It's cute... if you place him down and look away, you'll find him a good 3-5 feet away from where you placed him. And he'll have the biggest grin on his face as if he knows that he's getting into mischief. He will also slowly scoot himself around on him belly, giving himself rug-burn on his face. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it though.
He loves his sister and brother and nothing makes him more happy then to have them playing and dancing all around him.
Hmmmm what else? He's a great sleeper. He does wake up at about 3am but he just talks to himself and then goes back to sleep... most of the time.
He is SUCH a wonderful little man and is growing up much too quickly! He makes me want to have another one...almost!
