4 Months

This is what is new on the Davie front. The boy has become quite a bit more fussy the last month and a half and so now my new goals are to make sure he takes more naps that are longer at the same time each day (when possible). That is the only thing that I believe could reasonably be causing his fussiness. He is not teething. Otherwise he is just fussy for no reason, which I really hope is not the case.

This is the best picture

"ooo, stringy things"

I want to eat one...

going for it!

Davie kankles!! Jessica I thought of you when I took this one, not because you have kankles but because I was pretty sure you would think his were awesome :)

He can almost sit up on his own, he loves his bumbo and isn't much for being ignored. Dinner and other times where I cannot pay generous amounts of attention to him are not ok.

He loves those hands of his

and he smiles a TON now, which is typically accompanied by a squeal or a small giggle which is amazing and I LOVE it!

He has also become quite the spitter-upper. Uck! I hate it! But it is as his grandma said a laundry problem and not a baby problem. It wouldn't bug me so much if he wasn't so darn sneaky about it. The second I take off a bib to put on another is when he likes to spew. Or he is good for several days in a row so I will set him on the carpet or our bed for a second while I grab something and bleh!

He weighed 14 pounds and 11 ounces (50th percentile) at his 4 month appointment and I know he would have weighed 15 if he hadn't spit up 8 times before we left and 4 times once we got there (essentially ruining his shirt for the day). He is 24 inches tall now and that puts him in the 25th to 50th percentile which was much easier for his father to handle.

The other day at the mall he was getting complimented by EVERYONE and when I told the store clerk what his name was she said "Oh cute! Like Davie Crocket!". I had never thought of that but yes Davie, like Davie Crocket, I like that I feel some Halloween ideas coming on.
