Bodie 4 months

Bodie is such a BOY! He really is all boy in everything he does. He is 25 1/2 inches (75%) and weighs 14 lbs 9 oz (50%). He still has only a little bit of fuzz on hids head and the poor little man scratches his head all the time (I think part of it is because he has such dry skin and it itches). He's growing up so fast and changing every day. He's talking a lot now and has started using many more sounds...my favorite is "mom" and "ma" even though I know he doesn't associate it with me yet :-). He curls is toungue too...especially when he's trying to talk. He looooves putting his hands and fingers in his mouth along with anything else you put near there (he even got my earing the other day). He grabs and holds his toys really well and his favorites are his rings and ball. He's good at keeping himself happy for awhile now so I can put him in his bouncer or on his playmat if I need to get something done. He's sleeping much better and wakes up an average of once a night (sometimes twice, sometimes none). He's also sleeping on his back in his pack-n-play now. He eats ALL day long...usually about 4 ounces at a time and he gulps it down. He still has the reflux and urps up if he gets too full, but the previcid seems to still help it not hurt him. He's still a stinky little man and toots all the time (like I said...all boy). He likes his baths and still loves to cuddle. His favorite thing in the world though is watching McKayla...he's so interested in what she's doing and you can tell he just wants to jump right up and play with her. McKayla loves Bodie so much too and she is still a great helper with him. If he's crying she'll do everything she can think of to make him happy (bottle, toy, kiss, blanket, clapping her hands and saying "Bodie man, it's ok). Bodie likes to roll on his side when he's playing on the ground and can hold his head up well and for a while when doing tummy time. He really has completed our little family and we can't imagine our lives without him. His coos and smiles make us laugh and smile and his cuddles melt our hearts.



Best friends!
