4 months and counting...

Cy Wesley is now 4 months old!!! It's difficult to resist adding..."I can't believe it" behind each month marker. The months are flying by even though our days are filled with so much learning and laughter! Cy has become really interactive & I am reminded often by everyone around me just what a sweet, EASY baby he truly is. I am trying to enjoy this fact, not ever taking for granted his happy, easy going temperament...since the chances that his future brother or sister will follow suit are slim. His 4 month well check and vaccinations are scheduled for Thursday- so I'll post his stats then. Here's a few things that I want to remember about Cy at 4 months...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're on a roll! He has tumbled from back to side and from belly to back a couple times in the last few days!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I LOVE it when Cy is startled and just before he starts to cry he looks at me for reassurance. As soon and I tell him, "It's okay" and smile he starts to laugh. One of those truly priceless moments!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting up like a champ...with a little assistance from his boppy pillow. Loves hanging out in his Bumbo. Doesn't enjoy his bouncy seat as much these days...because he fights to sit up. Working on those abs of steel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When our boy smiles...he smiles with his entire body! Squishing up his nose, raising his shoulders, hands to his mouth, knees to his chest- it's adorable! Cy has the sweetest little giggle...loves to laugh at his own jokes :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He is sleeping 11-12 hours a night...usually going to bed between 8 & 9 pm and waking between 7:30 & 8:00 am! He takes 3-4 naps a day for 1-1.5 hours a piece. Sleeps with both hands behind his head...the picture of complete relaxation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cy has been experimenting with the volume of his sweet voice...he can get pretty rowdy when he talks about something that he's especially passionate about :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One word...DROOL! His cheeks, chin, hands, neck & shirt are wet most of the time. Those fingers are oh, so tasty!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only a fan of his paci when falling to sleep...otherwise, he prefers his fist or thumb.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A bit of a couch potato...will fall into a TV trance- especially when watching the big screen with Gramps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And FYI...don't hold this boy like a baby...he's a big boy! Wants to be sitting up or standing when he's awake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, and he is often stricken with a terribly persistent cough...self-induced, of course. He thinks it's hilarious!

Mom and I enjoyed a weekend in Dallas filled with fun, friends and as much shopping as Cy would tolerate! We were able to spend Saturday morning with my dear friends, Ashly and Patsy, see Ashly's sweet daughters, Kelly and Maggie, and meet her handsome son, John, who was born just one week after Cy. Love & miss you guys!
