Walker is 4 month old!!

Happy 4 month sweet baby Walker!!
We continue to be captured by your sweet smiles and precious laughter!
Our precious baby buckaroo is 4 months today! We can't beleive how fast he is growing.
At 4 months you are:
- Still such a great eater if you couldn't tell from these pics. During the day you continue to go about every 3 hours or so between feeding and are doing great at taking breastmilk from a bottle. When I get home from work you are ready to nurse. I love this special time with you as you snuggle up close and take your time nursing. Such a precious moment for us.
- Yesterday you weighed in at 17 pounds 4 ounces which is the 83rd percentile. You were 26.5 inches long which is the 93rd percitile. You are definitely lengthening out but still our chunky monkey. You are currently wearing 9 months size clothes and are quickly outgrowing them.

- You sleep through the night!!! Fabulous baby!! You started sleeping through the night one week after I went back to work. Thought it might have been a fluke, but no, you sleep soundly all swaddled up in your Swaddle Me blanket.

- You continue to be so awake during the day. You LOVE playing! I think you love to play so much that you would rather not nap, as you might miss some playing. You do take about 2-3 naps during the day, but are quite consistent yet on them. No big deal as long as you continue to sleep through the night! :)

- You are currently teething and we can see where you bottom front two teeth are SO close to cutting through! You drool and drool and drool as well as constantly chew on your fist. You are not too big on teething rings yet, but we'll keep trying. Occasionally you let us know that you are not enjoying this process, but for majority of the time you are smiling, happy-go-lucky baby.

- You have hit another precious milestone now. You are laughing! It is one of the more precious sounds around. Your Daddy can get you to do the cutest belly laughs and just this week you will giggle at your big brother too! It is priceless!

- You love enteracting with your big brother Wyatt. Whenever we put you in the Bumbo seat, Wyatt will trot out all your toys and lay them out all around the playtray showing you how to play with each and everyone. You just watch him with your bright eyes and mouth agape in amazement. Love how the two of you enteract. I know you will look up to him for years and years to come.

- One of your favorite times is when we lay you on the changing table for a diaper change. You get so excited kicking your legs and smiling so big. You know you are going to get fed next and you couldn't be more excited. It is such a joy to watch how happy you are!

- You are trying so hard to sit up on your own when we have your reclined in our arms. You are so strong too as you push up and bounce trying to stand as we hold your hands.

Walker you are the most laid back, happy little baby buckaroo. We keep pinching ourselves cause you are a dream come true! We love our family of four so much feeling so thankful each and everyday!
