4 Months

Costner turned 4 months old this month on the 5th, of course.  He is really coming to life.  Laughs are DEFINITELY on purpose now.  Sage can just walk up to him, and he will laugh 90% of the time.  He is very ticklish, and he will laugh every time I change his clothes because he's so sensitive to touch.  I had to laugh looking back at Jaggar's 4 month stats.  Look at that here.  What I laughed at was that Jaggar was already rolling over at that point.  Ha...um Costner isn't even close to that.  Because to roll over, you have to lay down.  He is actually laying in the floor beside me as I type this, but that is an extreme rarity.  Jaggar just looks like a bigger boy to me in these.  Not bigger, as in fatter, but bigger as in older.  Costner weighed 15lbs even at his checkup and was 26 inches long.  He got his immunizations and ran a fever and cried the entire next day.  I'm close to splitting these up because he's not had fun days following both rounds of immunizations.  I also noticed in those pics of Jaggar that he was holding toys.  I can see Costner's mind working to make that happen.  I see him stare at something and put his hand toward it, willing it to open and grab it so it can go in his mouth, but he's not there yet.  He did it to Lori's necklace on Sunday, and I thought...oh, time is almost up for the jewelry I never wear these days.  I honestly couldn't tell you how he sleeps at night because it's such a blur.  I know he's not sleeping completely through it, but I don't know how many times he wakes up because I'm not fully awake when he does.

One thing does remain consistent, and that is that he is extremely happy.  These are on his 4 month birthday.









 This is what he does when you lay him in the boppy.  He can pull himself up pretty well and hold himself up really well with support.
