Four Months Old

Happy 4 Months, sweet baby boy!  You continue to warm our hearts with your smiles, coos, and wiggles.  We love you so!


Titon is a happy baby and keeps growing and learning every day.  He is fascinated with hands right now and his little mitts stay busy... and wet! :)  He's often chewing on his fingers, holding his hands together, or grasping for anything within reach.  He also notices what our hands are doing (holding a book, phone, fork, etc.) and tries to grab our fingers.  



He likes to know we're close by and smiles at us often.  He's also learning to make consonant sounds, so his coos are starting to sound like real words.  We think he tries to mimic us at times.  He wakes up most mornings and from nap times "talking" and waiting patiently for us to pick him up. :)

He likes to straighten his legs and practice standing with our help, and he's beginning to lean forward to a sitting position on our lap or in his swing.  We love that he wraps his arm around our shoulder or neck when we hold him.  We're treasuring the sweet snuggles!  He is a fun-loving boy!

What Begins With "B"

...ball caps, bumbo seats, and bananas!
 
Have we mentioned that Titon does not like hats?  We first learned this the day we brought him home from the hospital and tried to cover his little head with a stocking hat.  He didn't want any part of it then, and he's refused hats of any kind since.  He did sport this cap for a few minutes the other day, but it's not exactly winter wear.  I'm not sure how we're going to keep his ears covered!

 Trying out the bumbo seat. 
He's doing great at holding his head up!
 
Dad always seems to know when Titon is hungry. 
He shared a little snack while waiting for Mom. :)

Tummy Time

Titon is loving time on his tummy these days.  We're still grateful he stays in the same spot where we put him, but it won't be long before he'll be going places. :)

Big Round Eyes

Titon has taken notice of the camera lately.  We have to be creatively strategic to capture some pics without distracting him.  The fun usually resumes quickly though!
 


 
 

First Shots

Completely unsuspecting, Titon was enjoying playtime with Dad and Mom at his pediatrician check-up last week.... That is, until he heard it was time for his first round of immunizations.  Poor baby!  He received an oral immunization first and then got stuck with three needles.  He opened his mouth wide, but there were several seconds of delayed shock before he wailed!  Fortunately, we had a great nurse who acted quickly and Dad was able to pick him up and comfort him right away.  He only cried for a few minutes.  The whole experience might have been harder on Mom and Dad... glad neither of us had to go alone.  Poor parents!
 
It's tough being 3 months old!
