It's crazy to think you're four months old, and even crazier to think that's 1/3 of the way to one year - eek! Everybody says time needs to slow down and I'm all for coming up with a machine that makes that happen. Month four has been a wonderful one, just as great as all the others, and I'm so blessed to experience it with you.
Not only did you take your first trip to Houston, you also attended your first wedding, rolled over (from tummy to back - but too quickly for me to get it on video!), moved houses, and started sleeping in your own room! It's been very busy to say the least! But you are also very busy. You're long and lean (as apparent by your stats below). Your pediatrician asked if you were active, and we said that you kick your legs and wave your arms alllllllll the time. She mentioned you're clearly burning a lot of calories doing so!
You're still just the most easy-going baby. Aunt Lindsay laughs when I make comments about things being harder to do with a baby because it's true; I can't just do everything when I want and for how long I want (i.e. pack). But you're mostly content hanging out on your Very Hungry Caterpillar play-mat and only fuss when you're tired or hungry. I guess most people don't have it that easy :)
Your "rhythm" has become a little more routine and I'm starting to see a schedule form, but we're still very go-with-the-flow. You usually wake up around 7:00 or 7:30am, still in the best mood. You'll take a morning nap and then afternoons are either one really good nap or a couple smaller ones. It really depends what we're doing and if we're out and about. I think you like to go to bed around 8:00pm because that tends to be when you're ready most, and you still love that middle of the night / early morning snack.
Everybody loves you, Kennedy: family, our friends, and even complete strangers. You're such a sweet baby and light up our lives. It's hard to image what we did before you were in it!
We love you!
xoxo,
Your Mom
