Sam I Am, Four Months

Can I just say that Four Months is the best age? Sam is absolutely... perfect. No other word for him. He is a happy baby, always smiling, cooing, giggling and melting everyone's heart. Sorry folks, he's ours.

At 4 months he has great head control, can support himself on his two little legs, looks around to see what's going on, and grabs at everything. He likes to scratch his fingers along new textures, rolls back to front and front to back, stares at you when you're eating in front of him, and can just about hold his own bottle. He sleeps through the night, mostly on his belly even if we put him down on his back.

He'll sometimes give High Fives, and I love that when we make the ASL sign for "milk" his little mouth starts to open and close automatically. {Sigh} I could eat him up.

We took him to the Doctor this week. Here are his stats.

Weight: 14'2" (35th %)
Height: 25" (65th %)
Head: 43.5 cm (90th %)

Oh, and his eyes are still a gray/blue color. I still have all my fingers crossed that they'll stay that way!

His hair is growing back in where he rubbed it away. For a while now he's been sporting a racing stripe  around the back of his little head:

He has the hugest smile, an open-mouthed, full-faced smile that I just adore. And the dimples!

I am ridiculously in love with this little man! He is the Best!
