My baby's growing up!

My baby boy is 4 months old today and I can't believe how fast the time has gone! He's learning more and more every day and I forget at times how young he really is. When he looks at you with those serious eyes, you know he is taking in all he can.

For the most part, he is a seriously happy baby. It's not hard to make him laugh (except when I have the camera out, of course) and even when he's tired, he'll still crack a smile for mama.

He's really got the grasp thing down now, but still working on the motor control, though the item in his hand will always find his mouth.

Below is a picture update of the month, though I realize now, they are in backwards order, starting with the most recent first:

This was taken today, on the day he turned 4 months. He's really starting to get the whole sitting up concept down. You can also see how he has one of his favorite 'friends' in his hand. Mr. Giraffe gets lots of what we'll call 'kisses'.
Here he is with Grandma on Halloween. He had gotten sick of his costume by this point.

Mommy and Daddy were serving up some lobster this Halloween! (Poor kid)!

Here he is with Aunt Colie and some of the cousins on Halloween. Cace was a shark, Colton a vampire and adorable Kendal in her lion's costume!

At Aunt Colie's baby shower, we got to play with Great Grandma Marj.

He fell asleep playing with Mr. Elephant one day...he's even still holding onto him here.

The arm finally collapsed.

He LOVES Mr. Elephant!

Mom and Owen decided to go for a walk one afternoon. He's all bundled up and ready to stay warm. He almost immediately fell asleep.

Speaking of falling asleep, Daddy decided to take this picture of Mama and Owen while we had a nap one weekend. Not that flattering of a photo, but I enjoy the memory of him cuddling.

This would be the only one out of order. This was actually taken last weekend. It is the perfect example of how fascinated he becomes when the camera is pulled out.
