Watch Me Grow - 4 Months


It's hard for me to believe that our Trek-man is already 4 months old! As insane as our life has been since school started, I knew I had to sit down and blog about my growing boy before it totally escapes me. It's funny the things that you think you'll remember but that totally escape you with time...but that's a post for a different time...

On September 15, Trek Hamilton was 4 months old. On the 17th, we headed to the Dr for his check-up. I know my boy is growing at an alarming rate, but it always shocks me to see the numbers! So, for your information, here are some fun facts about my Trek Hamilton. Trek, at 4 months old, you:
  •  weigh a whopping 16 lbs, 12 oz! And you are 26.5 inches long. That's the 95th percentile, big guy!
  • are very good at rolling over from your belly. Gramps says he has seen you roll from your back, but no one else has witnessed this just yet:)
  • really enjoy tummy time! And you are getting to be very strong on your belly. Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you!
  • are beginning to recognize your name...I think. Just the other day, you started to respond when Mommy comes in the room and says your name!
  • are still very fascinated with your sister. You always respond to her better than anyone else, smiling and kicking when she talks to you.
  • love to cuddle and snuggle! Mommy absolutely LOVES this about you! It may make getting chores done a little tough, but your sweet snuggles are totally worth it.
  • drool...a LOT! Everybody always asks us about teeth, but I think you're just full of slobber!
  • love your sleep, and you tend to be a bit cranky-pants when you don't get all of the rest that you need.
I am so excited to watch you grow, sweet boy! We are making so many memories with our sweet kiddos. It is a blast just watching them interact with eachother. Lorelai loves "Tick-mayan" so much! Her sweet face just lights up whenever she sees him, and she loves to share tummy time with him. It is our prayer that they will always be such good friends. Our Father has blessed us beyond anything we deserve. May we always bring him glory in everything that we do.
