4 months

Last Sunday, on the 17th, our littlest man hit his 4 month mark. I feel terrible that I haven't been as diligent in blogging about his progress as I was with his brother, and realized I definitely need to start writing things down.

At his 4 month check-up, Kupa'a measured 25 3/8 in., and weighed in at 14lbs, 12oz. He's longer and skinnier than his brother was at the same age, and just as precious.At 4 months, Kupa'a loves to squeak and squeal. He also loves to laugh and is especially ticklish under his arms and on his sides. He loves to sit and watch things going on around him, and is quite observant. He is very good at tracking people around the room, which makes it difficult to check on him without being spotted. Our little man rolled over for the very first time this week, from tummy to back, and did it like a pro. There was no attempt, just a perfectly smooth roll. It was beautiful! He's also getting pretty good at moving himself around by pushing off with his legs, although once he gets his arms stuck under himself, he'll let you know he's frustrated. We've had his bouncer set up for a few weeks now and finally let him try it out. He seemed a little confused at first, hence the face, but he quickly found everything quite entertaining. Now, if only those short legs could actually reach the floor. I'm sure he'll be bouncing in no time. The four month mark has also brought about rice cereal. Our first attempt was definitely positive, even if it was hard to get a spoon in there with all his fingers in the way (he's been chomping down a lot lately, so we won't be surprised if teeth are in the near future). And even though we got cereal everywhere, he seemed to love it!He is definitely a hot body, just like his brother. He is totally happy to be in nothing but a diaper, and still loves taking naps on his tummy (always with his fist in his mouth). Kupa'a is still just as sweet as can be. He is such a calm and happy baby, a good sleeper, a self sootherl...all bottled up in a perfect little package. We could spend all day just watching this precious little boy. Can't believe he's growing up so fast!
