4 Months Old!

Hey folks,

So Hunter is now 4 months old!

Here is Hunter with his Pooh Bear at 4 Months old. Almost as big as the bear.

Emily and I have been amazed that it's been over a whole year since we found out that Emily was pregnant. Yowsa! It's been a big year of firsts with many many more to come. But enough about us, cause I'm sure you don't care, and onto Hunter. Hunter is doing very well. He's got a bit of eczema plus the reflux so he gets a dose of Zantac, Hydrocortisone cream and diaper rash cream every morning and night. But he's happy as a pig in slop! He's started looking at things and reaching out to grab them intentionally. He is blowing raspberries, two types. The kind you make with your lips and the kind you make with your tongue. Which is quite timely because we have a large raspberry patch in the back yard that is producing berries, but I digress. He also has great head control and will twist that thing around like the kid in poltergeist so he can look at the TV when it's on. So we leave it off a lot. He has rolled from his tummy to his back several times now and likes to sleep on his side a lot. He can't quite roll onto his tummy, mostly because he won't get his arm out of the way! It's coming though. Ok, the pictures part!

We haven't cut his hair yet. Some times Mom gets a bit distracted during bath time! It was a mohawk but it was so long it curled over under it's own weight. We might have to use some Elmer's next time.

Look at that strong boy holding his head up. We have a sweet Tummy Time mat for him that he has out grown, he's longer than it is round!

As happy as Hunter looks here this plan did not last. He has good head control but pretty poor endurance on it. He lasted about 3 blocks of our walk and started grunting a bunch and stopped holding his head up. So I turned him around.

Here is the whole happy family just after Hunters's 4 month Birthday. I had a meeting for contract work so he wore a collared onesie!

Told ya he's as happy as a pig in slop!
