Baby Beck at 4 months

Oh my, four months already? You really are growing too fast. Or maybe not fast enough. Depends on the day. You are now over 13 pounds and apparently rather tall (so says the doctor). You have chunky little legs and the sweetest dimples on those chubby cheeks. You smile and laugh constantly and you sucker me into taking you out of your crib (even when you really should stay and sleep a little longer) with your giant gummy grin. You look more and more like a little boy and less and less like a baby every day. I just love watching you grow. This week you decided that sleeping through the night (or most of it anyway) is really not such a bad idea. You go down at 6:30, wake around 2:30 to eat and then go back to sleep until around 6:30 (except for yesterday when you decided you were ready to party at 5:45 as did your brother. Please stop that.). You are interested in rolling from your back to your belly but extremely uninterested in staying on your belly once you get there. You are learning to love your jumper and your pod which is really very good news as making dinner has been next to impossible for the last couple of months. You really don't cry unless you are hungry or tired and you give me very little about which to complain (and that is saying a LOT). This month you also took your first trip and you were by far the best traveler in the family. We are going away again next week, though not on a plane, and I just hope it goes as smoothly as the first. We only have a few more weeks, just you and me, before daddy takes over. I'm training him now. He's a pretty good intern. We'll give him a test here in the next week or so.
