4 months old!

Wow Elem is actually 4 months old! The time has gone by so fast I can not even believe that I am saying that! He is such a big boy and I fell like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital! I have noticed even over the last two weeks or so a calmer disposition in our little man, although he is going through this constipation phase which is making everything a little bit more difficult. I am sure that is the very last thing that he would ever want me to write about, but seriously its like over the last month he has been soooo constipated. And only going to the bathroom like every 4-5 days. So we have had to give Elem like 3 suppositories already! So sorry Elem if you are reading this later on!

But seriously, when your baby doesnt go to the bathroom on a regular basis, they are liek a different kid! he isnt as happy or as calm or anything! But for now, I wanted to document al his milestones like I have been doing every month to ensure that I am documenting everytihng !

So here goes it-at 4 months Elem is:

-totally aware of his surroundings-likes to watch what people and things are doing for extended periods of time
-recognizes familiar voices-like mine and seths and turns when you begin to talk to him
-LOVES to play in his exersaucer and look at the toys in front of him
-notices and likes the flashes on TV
-reaches for any object in front of him
-grabs items in front of him with both hands and can actually pick it up and hold on to it
-likes to lay on his back and watch things going on aroudn him
-can lay on his stomach on the floor and push up on arms and elbows
-holds head up steadlily with no problem
-can hold bottle when feeding pretty well
-humms or "talks" all the time- especially when you humm to him. he likes to do it with you
-loves to look at the computer or phones-likes the bright lights
-laughs and smiles when he is happy
-loves when you blow bubbles on his cheeks and will actually laugh at you
-likes to make bubbles and blow at any time with his lips
-smiles when he ses people he recognizes
-stays up for the majority of the day ad only takes about 2 naps during the day-1 long one
-somestimes sleeps from 10pm - 5 am
-is content with a toy in the car or at home -plays by himslef
-is wearing 3-6 month clothes-more 6 months clothes
-notices hand when moving it in front of his face
-opens and closes hand with ease-does not keep fists clinched like previous months
-enjoys car rides for the most part
-goes to sleep while breastfeeding, but will go to sleep on on, if made to cry it out only after about 3-7 minutes
-can sit and be content in a chair or on a lap in a restaurant
