Four Months!

Aug 23 (I'm a little tardy...sue me!) 

Oh sweet Sam! You are a joy at four months old. Your smile is contagious and I really believe you flirt with the ladies. Whenever the pretty ones talk to you, the grin goes from ear to ear. When you belly laugh, I laugh. I love how much your sisters adore you, too. If you're crying, they jump at the chance to soothe you with little toys or now...Ella picking you up. Makes me a little nervous, but she is the mother hen and for some crazy reason I trust her. Maybe because I was five when my younger brother was born and well, I never dropped him on his head;)

Your favorites right now: Sophie the giraffe (she's your teething bff), your playmat (you just started rolling over!) and your Einstein jumperoo. Oh and tags. You will play with tags and keep yourself busy for quite awhile. I am thinking Gma Don Don might need to create a taggies blanket in your near future. ;) (because she's not busy with anything else in her life, right?) One thing you aren't a huge fan of is your swing. So that big, bulky monstrosity of a baby station will be departing our living room very soon! You also love to "chat" with your sisters. They do this high pitch voice at you and you talk right back in a high pitched dinosaur scream. It goes on for a few minutes of cute albeit loud banter. But it makes us all laugh hysterically.

I, of course, bring you everywhere Sam. Hours of dance classes for your sisters, grocery shopping, trips  to nearby cities because they have a Target, coffee outings to Dunkin Donuts because without it, mommy isn't going to make it through the day. Endless walks, playtime at the parks...and you are a total trooper. You are the baby who makes moms want more babies. You are content and happy as long as you are around us. 

We won't mention your sleeping habits though. Those, my boy, are non-existent. But I know this too shall pass. For now I am enjoying the constant snuggles, kisses, and an occasional dance or two with my little man.
