sitting-up & double fisting!!

wow! look at me! i can sit up all by myself for long periods of time...AND i can grab a toy in each hand and alternate putting them into my mouth where i can chomp chomp chomp. it must be the avocado and banana that i've been eating that's given me so much strength and ability. (hei lussi, look at my buddah!)

first sketch

my dad gave me a colored pencil today...this is what i drew. -i think he is impressed by the composition ... he only says he wants me to be a pilot... ;)

driving through wisconsin

we were driving ALL day it seems. i don't normally suck a pacifier, but it helped me sleep and teeth at the same time which is pretty cool. look i can even hold on to it in my sleep!

my mama says i look like a boy not a baby

super duper concentration

new hair, major teething & the walker

my papa's favorite: the pommegranite

tummy time & finger studying

i went to the doctor last week for my 4 month check-up: 13 pounds 6 ounces and 24 inches long. i also had 2 shots in each leg that made me feel bad. but, i'm back to my curious-self.

my mama is going back to work this week. we're practicing a sleep schedule (i think she needs it more than me-i know when to sleep!) and as much as i'm going to miss her, i am happy i get to hang out with papa while she's gone.
