At four months now, Will is very active and alert. He wants to play all the time. He can pick up toys from the floor or from a tray and put them right into his mouth. He loves to chew on things--that with the intense drool is a sure sign teething is just around the corner! He is very active, always kicking or hitting things, and he's testing his own strength, stretching out on the changing table and standing up when we hold him. He's found his feet now! He has even discovered that he can kick his feet in the bathtub and make noisy waves.
He has noticed and come to love Bella. He sees her and smiles. He tries to touch her and sometimes grabs her (I'm sure the grabbing will be an issue down the road here!). And she can make him laugh like crazy when she pulls at a toy or sniffs his chin. And Bella is a good big sister, totally cool with a little boy kicking her while he nurses and she nuzzles up next to me.
Will still loves music and now he also loves dancing. I will carry him around and sing and dance with him, moving his arms and wiggling him to the beat of the music. He gets the biggest smile on his face and he laughs. Even if he's a little cranky, there's nothing a good little dance won't fix.
Nothing makes him smile or laugh like Alex does. When he walks in the room, Will's face lights up. When he spots him at the kitchen table, he smiles. Alex only has to make some weird noise and Will starts to laugh and laugh. It's the cutest thing.
We're still working on tummy time....slowly progressing. Propped up on a pillow he's much more tolerant. And sleeping is now becoming a bit of an issue. He doesn't go down as effortlessly or sleep quite as long as he used to. But that's all material for another post.
I can truly say that I've enjoyed (almost) every minute of these first 4 months and I know it won't be long until I'm reflecting on month #5!
