Four Months Old!

Sunday Silas turned FOUR months old! Can't believe it. During those first few weeks i remember thinking that time could not go fast enough, but now i'm really shocked at how quickly time is flying. He's had more firsts....as you'll see from the last post, he had his first laugh, and he's also constantly eating his hands (and anything he grabs a hold of)! Also, and this one just kills me....he has found a new toy. And this toy just happens to be between his legs! It all started one day last week when i was changing his diaper and his left hand found its way down there and just grabbed a hand full! Now, EVERY time we change his diaper, take a bath, anything that requires nakedness, he immediately puts that left hand down there and starts playing and he smiles like it's the greatest thing ever. I mean, seriously? FOUR months old and it's already starting?!?!? HEAVENS!

oh, and at his four month checkup on Monday, he weighed in at a whopping 14lb, 14oz, and is almost 28 inches long now! He's off the charts in length (hope he's a ball player!!!) and right about average in weight. Poor thing bled from the shots...never heard of that happening before, but it did. Now if we could just kick this bronchial stuff, and get him sleeping through the night (or at least seven hours), we'll be all good!


Okay, here are pics....

Look, Parker and Will! I have a Colorado Buffalo on my shirt!

we took a few of them outside on the porch b/c it was 7o degrees! Here Silas is in his rocking chair....that we have yet to paint and finish.

Mommy's pretty funny!

Hi, I'm cute...and I look just like my dad!
