At 3 months, Jake is smiling up a storm. He smiles the most at faces and will entertain himself for quite a while in the mirror. He loves his Discover and Grow Piano Gym and goes nuts hitting the keyboard and reaching for toys. He also rolled over from his tummy to his back! He did this several times in a row over the course of a few days and must have since decided it was no big deal because he didn't do it again for another 6 weeks. Go figure!
At 4 months, Jake continues to light up our lives with his smile. He smiles wide and also with his eyes, which is my favorite part. He is also belly laughing now. He will get into a laughing spell for over a minute and it is just about the best part of my day. He is definitely reaching for toys purposefully and he can hold toys with one or both hands for a few seconds at a time. He prefers to be sitting with support so that he can look around the room and continues to be so curious! He is getting close to rolling over from his back to belly but I think *ahem* his rolls might be getting in the way. And speaking of rolls....oh.my.goodness. I do love a chubby baby and my boy is a chunker! Jake sleeps through the night now from about 6:00 to 6:00. I am really thankful that we have such an excellent sleeper BUT that wide window of sleep only leaves me about 1.5 hours with him when I get home from work. I usually start bedtime routine which consists of a bath, nursing, a pumped bottle (he works hard for those rolls), then a few verses of Sweet Baby James and then crib. I love this routine.
If you ask our nanny if Jake is a great sleeper, she would tell you a different story. He an AWFUL napper. AWFUL. I guess we can't have it all!
I'm looking forward to all of the exciting milestones that lie ahead!
