4 Month letter

My dear sweet boy,

Yesterday you turned 4 months! Wow! you have been constantly growing and changing. I love you more and more everyday as you giggle and talk and do all the amazing things that little 4 month old cuties do.

Lately you have been rolling off to one side and is able to move your left arm out of the way so you are not putting all your weight on it. I love the way you complain once you get on your tummy... it makes me laugh every time :) You have recently started liking being on your stomach for longer periods of time (maybe at least 10 to 15 seconds before you start compalining). Maybe because mommy showed you the little kitty kat sticker in your crib and everytime you flip over, you look for it and stare at it totally amazed. Today I introduced you to the chinese version of Mickey Mouse that Uncle Ian and Aunti Gabi gave you when you were still inside mommy's tummy. When you flipped over you started smiling and talking to Mickey. It was sooo cute!

Also, today you started reaching out for your toys in the pod. Dad and I were so amazed to watch you reach for your toys.

You also love watching the baby einstein videos and what a releif because it gives me enough time to make us good dinners almost every night.



Also, you are getting much better in holding your head up. This is because you have been on your exersaucer a few times now and it is helping strengthen your neck muscles. This has also helped strenghten your legs as well because you can now stand up for longer periods of time. I'm sure you will be walking and crawling in no time.



Lately you have been grouchy and we don't know why. Actually we do know...it's because you have been missing your naps and it has been tough for Dad, Mom and for you. Our hearts go out to you everytime you cry and cry and cry. The other day you did not nap during the day and it was just so tough because all you did mostly was cry thoughout the day and we were pretty exhausted by dinner! Maybe you are teething...or maybe it's just hard for you to get back in your routine again...or maybe it's just growth spurt. As you can see we are learning as we go. But always remember that we love you so so very much! You mean the world to us my son!

Tomorrow, we are taking you to your second vaccination and I am so not looking forward to it. Dad is coming this time to give us support. yay! Don't worry, you are such a little warrior. I know you will do just fine.

On to more fun things.....This month is very exciting because we have finally found a mini van for you to go around the city in. I knew it was the one because you fell right asleep when you got in it. I also know it's not the coolest vehicle out there but for now, because you are so high maintenance, we need a vehicle that will carry all of your stuff! This is important especially this coming Saturday because we are going on our first vacation to Panorama as a family... for a week! We need room to fit your Chariot, our bicycles, food and clothes in one vehicle and that's why we've decided to get a van. Anyway, Dad and I are so excited! Trust me kiddo, we needed one after taking care of you for 10 months inside my tummy and then we still had to do that after you got out and are still doing it. Phew! it seems tough somedays but you are so worth it! We'd move mountains for you my boy if we have to. You are our everything! Happy 4 month birthday Micah!

Love always,
Mom
