4 month update

Today our sweet boy has been home with us for four months! Wow! It’s hard to believe it’s gone by so fast. It’s been amazing to watch his transformation, adjustment, and attachment to us. He is really an easy-going little guy, he’s adjusted very well with my return to work and going to day care. And, he’s so smart! We can’t get anything by him anymore! He no longer screams at the sight of his sippy cup, and even embraces it. We have not used a bottle in well over a month! Oh, did I mention he’s a dare-devil? This kid has no fear! Although, I’m happy to report he’s learning how to properly get off the couch. He is learning new sounds and words everyday, and babbling constantly! Often, he really sounds like he is telling us something very important, and we really wish we could understand. It wasn’t a huge surprise that one of his first words was “dow” (down), since he hears it about a million times a day! (As in..."Willie, get down....Willie, get down....Willie...DOWN!!”) He’s nearly an expert walker, and went for his first “outside walk” last night. He loves to be outside, and when he feels the cool breeze on his face, he just smiles and takes a deep breath in. He’s going to graduate to the next class at church tomorrow! My baby is no longer in the “baby room”, now he’ll be with the “runners”! Oh, man, he’s growing up so fast!

Also, a million thanks to our close friends and family, who very kindly gave us our “family time” during his first weeks home. We can see that it really has paid off, and helped him bond well with us. 

OK, enough of the Mommy gush...here are some pictures over the past 4 months!
