Our Life: Four months old...in the words of Baby Lawson

(Baby Lawson is writing this one. He told me what to write.)

I am four months old today. Feels like yesterday when I was being born. And so much has happened since June 22nd. I weigh about 16 pounds. I haven't been to the doctor for my four month check-up yet, so Mama, Aunt DeeDee and Mimi tried to weigh me. It wasn't too accurate though. I can grasp things now. I like my toys that hang over my head and I grab the bee and make the music and lights go off. Cool. I can roll to my side too. I throw my legs up in the air and then use the momentum to turn on my side. If I could get my arm out from under me, I could roll onto my stomach. I went to Old Baker Farm with some of Mama's friends and I got to see pumpkins, take my first hayride, and pet a chick and rabbit. Some of Mama's students went to the farm too and they loved me and I loved them too. I am "talking" a lot now. I understand what I am saying, but the adults have no clue. They think I am cute though. I am beginning to sleep through the night too. Mama is very happy about that. I usually go to bed around 8:00 and then sleep till 6:45 or 7:00. Then I will hang out in the crib and talk to my fish (mobile) and sometimes will go back to sleep. I like to nap more when Dad and Aunt DeeDee are watching me, but when Mama is with me I would rather be hanging out with her. Mama would like me to nap so she can do laundry, but who needs clean clothes?:) I am laughing out loud now. It takes a little while to warm me up, but when I get going, I laugh a lot. Mama and Dad get a huge kick out of me laughing. They love it. Well, I am off to sleep. I plan on sleeping through the night, but a growing boy might need a snack around 4:00 am.:) Love you all!

Baby Lawson

Wow! He's a wordy boy.:) This past month has been so neat. There are so many things that Lawson can do now. He holds a rattle and will shake it around (and occasionally hit himself in the head). It's so neat! He can sit in his Exer-saucer and he watches football with Lawson. When he laughs, it is the most wonderful sound in the world. His face just lights up. He is such a good baby. He is sleeping through the night (most nights) and if he doesn't he usually wakes up around 4:00 am, eats, then goes back to sleep. His nap schedule is getting better too. Baby Lawson will nap well for Damaris and Lawson, but with me, it's a bit more challenging. But it's getting better. He took a three hour nap Sunday afternoon. Awesome! Lawson and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful, handsome baby!:) The Lord is good. Enjoy the pictures!!

The exer-saucer is fun!
