GUESS WHAT...

I'm 4 months old!  

I know,  I can barely believe it either!

A lot has happened this month.  Amos did lots of traveling.  He started the month by going to an Arts and Craft fair with me, then had his first camping experience, followed by a trip to Lebanon, and finished the month by celebrating Halloween at the Snow's house.

New tricks - he's got them.  He learned how to grab a hold of things and put them in his mouth.  Now that's where everything goes!  After a month of practice, he's a crazy good roller.  He also has this neat turtle swimming move he likes to whip out!  He no longer frowns all the time.  We can get him to smile without much effort!  Also, early in the month, he rediscovered his voice!  I love hearing him talk!  He does a pretty good job at sitting in his boppy!  Sometimes his abs give out on him, and he heads for a slow face plant.  We also caught him, leaning against his exesaucer, completely supporting his own weight.

One of his most recent developments is laughing out loud.  The other night he carried on for a good 5 minutes just laughing.  (The video is posted here.)  He is also growling! Ha ha!  It mainly happens in the mornings, but it cracks us up!  And in an effort to offset his crazy rolling, Amos got some practice sleeping on his back.  The week started a little rough, but by Wednesday, he could go to sleep with minimal fuss and sleep for at least 45 minutes on his back.  He would then wake and fight sleep on and off for the rest of the night.  But 45 minutes is something!  He's now back to tummy sleeping, because he sleeps so much better that way!

He's still a good eater and nighttime sleeper!  That makes my life a lot easier!  This month has been a ton of fun!  I can't wait to see what happens next month.  The best is yet to come!
