4 months old

Our little man is now 4 months old. Time is going by way too quickly. Kai is now 16 lbs 5 3/4 oz and 26 inches long. Thank goodness we spent the extra money and got the infant car seat that is good up to 30 inches. He has grown out of so many cute outfits, so I guess a big shopping is in order. Sorry Daddy.

Kai loves to chat and is very quick to smile. He is also a big flirt. Always a smile for the ladies. We reached a milestone the other day when Kai rolled over from his tummy to his back. I know that he did not know how he did it but I was so proud of him. Simon and I keep trying to get him to do it again but so far we have not been lucky.

Wow

Just a quick note to say that our little man is now 16 lbs. He is a very active guy who has discovered the joys of the jolly jumper. Kai went in it today for the very first time and took all of 3 minutes to figure out how to jump. He went to town for a good 20 minutes after that. I think that we are going to have our hands full.

The little guy

Kai's personality is really starting to show. He loves to smile and giggle at people. Even when he is tired he still seems to be in a good mood. We are very lucky.

I have given up on the notion of a daytime nap for the little guy. He will sleep sometimes but ususally not for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. Just enough time for one REM cycle. He is great sleeping at night, so I really can't complain. I guess we just have to deal with it. He likes to be awake during the day and prefers to sleep at night. He will have a nap in the early evening and then go down for 6-8 hours before his next feeding.

It is fun to watch him discover his world. He like to grab his toys and put them straight into his mouth. He has discovered his knees and is starting to reach for his feet. It is a lot of fun to watch him play.
