4 Months

Marshall is 4 months this week and had his 4 month appointment yesterday. He is now 14 lbs and 24 in long. I can't believe how fast he is growing.

Here are a few updates on what he's been up to the past month...

1. Lift his head and shoulders up when on him stomach.

2. Roll from his stomach to his back.
3. Almost roll from his back to his stomach. He still can't quite get over his arm.

4. Celebrated his first Valentine's Day.

5. Started following the cats with his eyes.
6. Quickly growing out of his 3 months clothes and wears mostly 3 - 6 month.
7. Thinks bathtime is OK now.

8. Can sit in the stroller without the car seat.
9. He's about half and half with sleeping through the night. Some nights he'll sleep straight through 8:30ish - 5:30/6:00am. Other nights he will wake up around 2ish for a diaper change.
10. He is always smiling and usually only cries when he needs something.

When I was trying to get his 4 month photo with his bear he refused to sit upright and decided he wanted to rest against the bear's leg.

At one point he slid himself down so that he was laying on th couch. He thought it was hilarious that mommy and daddy were acting like fools trying to get him to pose for the camera. While I was going through my photos, I realized that was almost the same position he was in for his 2 week photo. The only difference is he was screaming in the 2 week photo.

And this is what he thinks about Valentine's Day... My sentiments exactly :)

3 Months

My baby is 3 months old today! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Marshall is developing his personality more and more every day. He is definitely going to be a flirt as he gets older. His next doctor's appointment isn't until March 3 (4 months) so I don't have an official weight, but we're estimating he is around 15lbs now.

Happy 3 Month birthday! It won't be long before you can eat your birthday cupcakes. Daddy took care of this one so it didn't go to waste.


Happy Birthday!


Marshall loves to smile at people and his favorite game is the diaper changing game. He smiles and giggles the entire time we're changing diapers. He has also started to look around and take in his surroundings. He stares at objects very intently and I think is starting to really recognize our faces.

All of his newborn clothes are officially packed away. We've already started to pack away some of his 0 - 3 month clothes.

He's still working on lifting his head and pushing up with his arms while on his tummy but head control is pretty good. Of course, he only tolerates about 5 - 10 minutes of tummy time before he starts to throw a fit.

We're pretty sure he's getting ready to cut some teeth since he won't stop chewing on his hands and has turned into a drool machine.

Finners are yummy!


Finners are yummy! So yummy!


Marshall also graduated from his bassinet to his crib today. We'll see how it goes tonight.

I've got his comparison photos at Marshall's Firsts.
