4 months

Our little boy turned 4 months Monday. What a blessing he has been. We started him on cereal at 3 1/2 months and he has had bananas also. He LOVES to eat! At his appointment he was almost 16 pounds and 26 inches. He is laughing, cooing, holding up his head like a little turtle, scooting around and practically sitting up! Dr. Krishnan was shocked at how strong he is.
He is quite a mommy's boy. Not a real big fan of other people caring for him, especially in the evening! He had his first night in his crib Sunday and had the longest period of sleep in a bit. 4 hours! Yeah he is an eater. We are attending Mrs. LouAnn's music class and he loves it. The whole day after class he coos and sings. Much to my dismay he likes to watch cartoons with his sister. But it does buy mommy a few minutes to get things done.

Ashlynn is more amazing then ever. She is such a learner. Our little scientist. Her favorite show at the moment is Sid the Scientist. She loves to explore, to learn, to create, to sing, to dance, to talk, to listen, ....the list goes on and on. There is not much she doesn't like to do. We have been doing a lot of "Montessori" type activities and I am always amazed by her ability to focus and pay attention to a project. She has been practicing her letters and is pretty good at writing her name and wrote love on a picture she drew of her family today! She spends a good amount of time on the computer and today when I walked into the room she was typing her name. Crazy! I am excited for her to go to school but I know I will miss her terribly. She is so ready for it though.

I have spent a lot of time lately by myself at nights, with Steve's new job, and what I have realized is that we are so blessed. Our children are such incredible gifts from God and I am certain that all the trials and tribulations have guided Steve and I to a life full of love and endless possibilities. Motherhood is by far the best job in the world!
