Luke is 4 months old!

Luke turned 4 months old on July 8th! He has really learned a lot in the past month. He has started to babble a lot and make lots of new sounds. He will repeat sounds that others make. He loves to smile and laugh. He has learned how to use his hands and loves to hold toys, blankets, pretty much anything. He loves to put his hands in his mouth, and often tries to put both hands in at one time. We keep expecting to see a tooth, but so far there is nothing!

Luke moved to his own bed in his own room on his 4 month birthday. The transition was perfect. He did not wake up during the night any more than he normally does (which is still about once per night for a feeding). It was also his first night without his swaddle. We found out that he likes to touch his hair while he sleeps.

Luke still hates tummy time, but he loves to play in his exersaucer and jumparoo. He is also happy to lounge in his bouncy seat or just relax in his swing. He loves to watch his sister play and dance. He always smiles. He is quiet and calm all (well most of) the time. He only cries when he is tired, wet, or hungry. He is just happy to be around other people, and hardly ever complains. Luke is the perfect baby!

We went to the doctor for his four month appointment. He weighed in at 18 lbs, 14 oz. This puts him in the 98th percentile for weight. He was 26 inches (86th percentile) and his head circumference is 17 inches (76th percentile).

We sure do love our Lukey, and we cannot believe he is already 4 months old!!!
