Aaron is 4 months!

Still such a happy guy!

I love this.  He's so relaxed!

My littles.  Big brother at camp.

Strong like bull!

Well, Aaron, since I blogged about your sleeping the other day, you have been a lot better.  You are still all over the place, but you've been doing some nice long stretches the past three nights.  Two nights of down at 7, up at midnight and down til 7.  Last night you went 7-4.  Bravo, good man, bravo!  Keep it up! Just this week, we've transitioned you from napping in the swing to napping in the bed and I can't believe it.  Sometimes you go down without a peep.  Sometimes, I let you cry a few minutes and you can put yourself to sleep.  A few months ago it was really hard for me to get you to sleep in the crib during the day, so I just gave up and put you in the swing...  Desperate times, desperate measures, people!  Don't judge! 

In the past month, you've hit some big milestones.  You rolled from front to back at 14 weeks.  Just this very morning, we found you on your belly after rolling the other way.  You are very strong and can hold your head up really well.  You are also VERY VERY oral, all of a sudden.  Everything goes in your mouth.  Your favorite things to put in there are your fists and plastic linking rings.  You love all the little rattles and baby toys.  You also love the play gym mat and the bouncy chair in a way your brothers never did.  Does anyone remember how John Michael drooled until he was 2 years old? How he was constantly wet?  Well, sadly, I think we have another drooler.  I may have mentioned that both Michael and I soaked through bibs, so I guess the genetic odds aren't in our favor for dry babies.  Noah was so nice and dry!  Ah well.  Aaron can't be one-hundred percent perfect.

Anyway, we love you, Aaron!  You are a complete ray of sunshine in our lives and are growing up too fast!  

Love, Mama
