Monty is 4 Months

Little Monty B is 4 months old and ALMOST rolling. I think he could roll if he wanted to, but he's just taking his sweet time.

 He just can't quite get over that arm. He has got a lot to roll over too...

He is kind of a cat napper..... possibly genetic seeing how his Grandpa Stevens (his name sake) can take a 10 minute nap and be well rested whenever he chooses. He takes a small nap in the morning and a long nap in the afternoon. Then there are days he will only stay awake for 1-2 hours and go back to sleep for an hour. Those are the cat nap days.

 This baby is quite filling...below is a 9 month outfit. He fills it out, but it's a little long. Don't get me wrong, he is pretty lengthy, but I am anxious to see if he is actually tall or not. We've had to pull out the 6-9 month clothes because everything else is too small. I have to keep in mind that different brands are different sizes, but either way he is a growing boy.

He likes to throw us gangsta signs every once in a while too...

 He absolutely LOVES Dawson. He cuddles all the time with him, he always smiles at the sound of his voice, and likes to 'wrestle' with him. Dawson is so nice to let Monty lay on his face and let Monty drool/smother him. The other day, Dawson just kept laughing and Monty had to get it on it. Monty started squealing and giggling so much he lost his breath a couple of times. It only made it worse because it got Dawson laughing harder. Then Monty started to try and mimic the laughs that Dawson would do. It was amazing and oh so funny!

 Monty is getting to know when sleepy time is because he requires to be swaddled. Dawson as an infant required this too. :-) Monty is getting pretty good with his hands and starting to play with his binky. He likes to naw on it, pull it out, throw it, and then he'll suck on it. BUT if he doesn't want it, he will let you know.

We recently started a schedule at night time that involves eating solids. He has the funniest faces when it comes to eating baby food. It's not what he wanted, but he's getting used to it. He even opens his mouth for bites now. We are hoping it sustains him a little longer through the night so we can actually get sleep. 

This last week Monty has wanted to wake up every 2 hours and it's killing me. My whole attitude was effected. So after a nice date night, and consistency with the night routine, I think Monty is going to start sleeping better. It hasn't helped that we are in the middle of buying a home, so I'm sure Monty is picking up on my anxiety. I guess when closing day comes and passes, then I will post about our first home, but for now I will wait until it's all official.
