4 Months!

Yesterday was Ebenezer's 4 month birthday! It is wonderful how he has so completely worked his way into our lives and hearts in such a short time!

Eb continues to grow by leaps and bounds, during this last month laughing has become a much more regular occurrence and he is fascinated with the world around him. He loves to interact with people and "talk" with them even. He has become 'shy', sometimes when people come to talk with him while I'm holding him he will grin really big and turn his face into me, then look up to see if they are still there, grin real big and repeat! Still no teeth, but that doesn't mean he has stopped trying! I have started putting bibs on him when he is really drooling up a storm! He has mostly outgrown his 3-6 month clothes and we are having fun breaking into all of his 6-9 month clothes now. He has gotten really good at grabbing and pulling to his mouth, pretty much whatever he can get ahold of is pulled straight to his mouth for further inspection, toys, fingers, hair, burp clothes, you name it! This month he has discovered his toes and LOVES them! He likes to feel them and try to stick them in his mouth every time he gets his diaper changed! He also rolled over for the first time this month! I'm pretty sure it was an accident since he hasn't repeated it, but I was still excited! When excited, or happy, Eb loves to open his mouth really Wide, and sometimes he adds arm flapping to fully express his exuberance! As he is paying more attention to the world around him, he is more and more interested during his trips outside. He loves to sit on my lap and watch all the goings on outside, whether that's the dogs, cows or birds flying around - he is especially fascinated with the chickens!

I'm not sure how it's possible but Chris and I fall more in love with him every day! It is such a delight to watch him grow, change and learn! Happy Birthday my little man!
