4 months!

It seems like this post has come so shortly after posting about Coleman's 3 month update. I was a little late on the 3 month update and on time with this one...so here is all that is new in the life of Coleman!

We can't believe that he is 16 weeks already! Again, it seems like yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. We are blessed to have Coleman in our lives and don't know what we used to do without him! (Oh wait, I remember...we watched movies (the netflix movie we have on our tv stand has been there for 4 weeks now), stayed up late, did whatever we wanted whenever we wanted....) But it's totally worth not doing all those things because our little man is just too adorable!

Coleman LOVES to put stuff in his mouth and drool drool drool! He is getting really good and gripping his toys and reaching for them. He loves his little teething toys (although I don't think he's teething yet) because they stay in the fridge and are nice and cool when he puts them in his mouth. Here you'll see him doing just that as he sits in his high chair. He loves to play with his toys and watch me do dishes or cook...plus, it gives me a break from holding him.

Coleman still LOVES to stand up. He isn't so much into laying on his back anymore...he will screech when he wants to be upright. He is getting good at putting one foot in front of the other too (with help of course)! Coleman is ALMOST sitting by himself! His cute belly pulls him forward and usually makes him spit up...but he thinks he's so cool when he's doing this by himself. We have enjoyed playing with the stacking cups and watching him push them over as we yell "Timber!" He gets a kick out of this game. The other day I put him in his bouncy seat and he pulled himself right up! I couldn't believe it! It feels like all of the sudden he is growing up so fast... "slow down little man - your daddy and I don't want to miss a thing!"

I woke up one morning to find this lovely little scratch on my son's adorable cheek...poor guy! He must have done it in his sleep. He had his nails trimmed shortly after this happened! I'm sure it wont be the first scratch, scrape, or bruise this little one gets. But I felt so sad for him!

In the past week or so, Coleman has discovered a love for sticking out his tongue! This usually happens when he is standing and looking around. He sticks it out of the corner of his mouth and then gets a big grin on his face. Too cute! (picture coming soon)

Coleman LOVES to "fly" with his daddy and stand on his daddy's hands. It makes this mommy a little nervous, but I LOVE the smiles I see from both of them!

We have a little squeaker and talker on our hands too. He loves to giggle and coo when he lays on our bed. When he is playing under his play-gym he will squeak and shriek....Justin calls him our little velociraptor.

This month we have spent lots of time at the farm visiting Justin. Coleman usually spends his time there in the Moby or standing on the counter. We have been going for lots of walk around the farm property with Harley. It's been very chilly here - so I have to bundle Coleman up in his cute dino hat, mittens, and warm slippers. The other day Harley was chasing Turkeys on our walk and Coleman found this to be super funny. He also discovered our shadow when we walk and loves to kick and giggle at it!

Here is a precious picture of Coleman sleeping in the Moby. We were visiting with friends at the farm and it was close to nap time...the little guy just crashed!


We are getting a fairly good predictable schedule (except for the whole "sleeping through the night" thing) We are so thankful that Coleman is such a content and happy baby. We adore his giggles, coos, shrieks, and charming personality. We LOVE his chubby little cheeks!
