My cutie four month old...

-Is smiling more and more. We finally got a good shot of his smiling face... he usually sobers up as soon as we get the camera out. G and I try so hard to get him to smile at us - dance around, pull silly faces and sing ridiculous songs. Our tactics only works half the time, but its so fun when they do.

-Loves to chew his hands and suck on his fingers - sometimes he gets both hands in there at the same time!

-Holds up his head pretty well. He still doesn't love tummy time, but when we put him down he's starting to push up with his arms

-Likes to admire himself in the mirror. Who wouldn't love to look at that sweet face?

-Rolled over from his tummy to his back on Dec 6th. He just has to lean that big head to the side and the rest of his body follows. He's not a big roller yet (doesn't do it that often) but we're learning to be careful where we put him.

-Flails his free arm spastically when he nurses. It is everywhere!

-Likes to play with his links - he shakes them around and waves them up and down quite energetically. It's fun to see him playing with toys. He's growing up on us!

-LOVES when we sing to him. If we're at home and he can see us, he watches us very closely. When he's had enough of his car seat, we'll sing to him in the car and he calms right down. Works every time. His favorite song seems to be Five Little Ducks. G is so great - he'll get everyone in the car to join in the singing so T feels better. He's a great dad. We are lucky to have him.

In T's 4th month we also celebrated G's birthday, Thanksgiving and had our first family pictures taken. Thank you to Matt Mellor for our wonderful pictures, despite the cold and the wind.

T and I were still in Utah over Dad's birthday - so we sent him a little picture message. We are both lucky to have you, G, as a dad and husband. We love you SO much. XOXO

Thanksgiving outfit - "I'm Stuffed"

G thought this outfit was silly, but I think it was festive and adorable. He's a BABY for crying out loud. Sorry to future T if you hate it too.

Thanksgiving desserts - I am certainly thankful for our great friends. I could never explain how much they have meant to us here in Nebraska. We missed you Johnson family!

P, L and little T

Crazy faces!
