the gideon update.

my sweet boy.

little boy bumbo

at nearly 4 months old he:

* has the best giggle
* loves it when i drag my hair over his face and it takes his breath away
* complains with his deep little voice the moment he wets his diaper or is hungry - he's very serious and grumbly
* chews on anything and everything he can but prefers my fingers. teeth should be making their way in the mext month, i think.
* has fuzzy hair that grows straight up and then curls back on the ends. curly hair to come?
* is a total boob man. it took weeks before he finally agreed to take a bottle and i'm sure he's not happy about it. he would love it if i would let him sleep with my nipple in his mouth all night long. and sometimes i do.
* had the most edible parts. mia eas munching his cheeks the other day and informed me that they were "spicy!" and she needed her drink right away. his toes, however, taste like jelly beans.
* still won't sleep through the night. after an initial 4-5 hours he's up ever 2 hours like clockwork after that.
* has rolled over exactly 4 times front to back. shows no signs of wanting to do that again.
* has the best milk breath
* kicks and giggles like a madman when he's happy. which is a lot.
* is getting more tolerant of the carseat.
* thinks his sister is the most interesting creature in the world.

he no longer feels like a squishy baby in my arms and is heading to boyhood at an alarming rate.
