Little Man is FOUR Months Old!

This cutie-patootie turned four months old today!
(oh I miss the quality of my Nikon camera!!!)
Sweet little Millsy-bear...what are you up to???
-Not too much has changed in the last month, but you're mainly just doing more of everything you were doing then! :) More cooing, even more smiling, and you're getting so close to a belly laugh...I think you'll master that before your 5 month birthday...that's what I absolutely cannot wait to hear!
-You have rolled over five times from your back to your front, but not on a consistent basis yet.
-You are so ACTIVE!!! You like to be moving nonstop when you're awake, and it's hard to make you cuddle (sniff, sniff), but thankfully you're a good cuddler in the mornings when I put you back in bed with me, so I get to get my fix then. :)
-You've always been so strong for your size, but you're getting really good at sitting up...won't be long til you're doing it on your own!
-You still like your activity mat, but you're moving on to a few new toys, too. You like playing in your Johnny Jump Up (and gnawing on it...or anything for that matter) and for your 4 month birthday you got a Baby Einstein exersaucer - you're already a big fan.
-You've become such a little drooly-face! And you will put anything you can find in your mouth - toys, your hands (24/7), my hair, etc...oh, and you can now take your paci in and out of your mouth, but you haven't quite mastered how to put it back in the right way when you want it (unfortunately for us!).
-You've been a great sleeper until over the last weekend, but last night was MUCH better and I'm hoping it was just due to the shots you got on Friday.
-You're getting so much longer (and finally outgrowing some clothes!) - mostly still wearing 0-3 months, but you are now wearing more 3-6 month outfits.  Your feet, however...well that's another story.  :)  They're short little things and I just got you a few pairs of cute sandals and even the 0-3 month ones are too small, but they just look stinkin' cute on your feet anyway. 
-Speaking of growing, your official stats are:
Weight: 15 lbs - 67th percentile (same)
Height: 25.5 inches - 77th percentile (up from 41st percentile!)
Head: 16 inches - 16th percentile
-We also got cleared to give rice cereal a shot! The pediatrician said it doesn't have add much nutritional value to your diet, but it will begin to help you learn how to use you mouth to eat, so he recommended it. We're gonna give it a try this coming weekend at the beach when everyone is there!
We're just crazy about you and love you more everyday!

We spent today hanging out with Calee and Jameson at a play date, and then Dad came home early so we hurried home to spend time with him!
We even let Dad play some video games while Mommy ran errands...you decided blowing up people really wasn't that exciting...
We sure enjoyed having some time together!!!
Sucking on your hands...the norm. :)
Oh and I forgot to mention, your eyes are changing...your dad says he's sorry "you're not gonna get your momma's pretty eyes," but I think your daddy has beautiful brown eyes and I know that yours will be just as gorgeous, whatever color they turn out to be!
My little silly goose!
Our precious 4-Month-Old!
