4 Months Old!

It's hard to believe this child is 4 months old, the time is WHIZZING by and I want to hold up a big red light so it can just STOP and I can keep him little forever. But, I also can't wait until he can talk - I want to hear that little voice, and to know what crazy things he is thinking (like the boy who told me last week that preschool was for learning how to "keep our hands off our willies") and watch him grow and explore and see the world through his eyes.


He had his 4 month check up today (I made Mike hold him for the shots - not as bad as the first ones), the Dr. actually said he was one of the most beautiful babies he'd seen and we should consider getting him into baby modeling. Then he proceeded to tell us that it takes so much time to make your baby a model that the parents need to quit their jobs in order to take the baby on jobs. That won't be happening here - we'll just keep our beautiful boy to ourselves and fill all our friends e-mails with a thousand annoying pictures that we just must share.


Speaking of....here's Erik and his first time on Santa's lap!


Erik now weighs an even 19 pounds and is 26 inches long. He was in the 90th percentile in everything! He wants to eat EVERYTHING, his hands, blankets, toys, grown up fingers whatever he can get his hands on...the cats better watch out. We are going to move to rice cereal in the mornings. I'll make sure to video that!!
