3 & 4 Month Cashew

 
I missed a month of updates with Cashew with all the Christmas-ing and birthday-ing going on around here (there should be a Rob birthday posting coming one of these days as well). I did however make it my goal to get some photos in before his well check-up at the doc today so I could blog during nap time. Accomplished! It takes so little to get me excited these days :). 

Well the cashew was aptly nick-named as he is definitely the bigger nut in this family--yes, interpret that however you wish. He is rolling in at 14 lbs. 12oz (50%), and 26.5" (92%).  I've had to bring out the 6 month clothing to keep up with all of this length.

This is one pleasant baby folks.  He has a hearty little laugh and has surprised me with how ticklish he is. It's delightful. He is also so calm. He let's Peanut lay on him to read a story and generally just smiles and looks around or wiggles but doesn't ever fuss just to fuss. 

He has discovered his hands this month and the look on his face is priceless as he clasps them together directly in front of his eyes. It's like, "Whoa! Do you see these glorious things?! I can not believe I am so lucky to have received these appendages on my body. I just want to eat them...no study them...no eat them...no study them." I know all baby's do this but I find him particularly comical in the endeavor. He enjoys bath time I think, as he puts on his concentrating face and just kicks and kicks his little legs from the minute I put him in until I take him out. I sure enjoy watching him.

He is still an excellent sleeper. We finally have his bed time worked out so him and Peanut go down at the same time and I go in to feed him right before I leave for swimming in the morning. I think I may be one of the only parents that is grateful that his first feeding of the day could be placed somewhere between 4:45 and 5am. He then goes back to sleep till maybe 9. I think I'm going to have a hard time with these two boys getting them up and off to school when the time comes.

I just love my baby!

Awwww! What fun Anna! That expression he is doing in the picture with the towel on his head is something I have seen you do ;o)
