Ethan turned 4 months yesterday...and we celebrated with shots . He was all smiles before his appointment. He had his first taste of quinoa cereal yesterday -- he's not sure what to think of it but he ate it (it's so cute how he chews the cereal).
Why are we up?!?! Savannah will be 15 weeks tomorrow (had to look at a calendar). She is rolling over, laughing and still not sleeping through the night. Thank god she at least naps in the car seat and stroller so outings are relatively painless!
We made it through back to back wedding weekends in Cape Cod and Burlington with this little munchkin (we're in NJ). The top pic is her holding my hand on the drive home from Burlington Sunday. So in love with this sweet girl
Cole is 16 weeks today and has been having major sleep regression the past two nights! Momma is tired! He watched baby Einstein last night for the first time and belly laughed every time he saw the cow. Totally adorable

We have the same exersaucer! He loves it (well, for about 10-15 minutes then he's done. Haha)
@laurendiaz02 not being rude but is there a reason your starting cereal so early?
We discussed he signs of being ready to try solids and Ethan is showing a majority of them so we opted to try cereal. Dr recommended to start with cereal first.
Audrielle will be 4 months old tomorrow.... so hard to believe! Going in for her 2nd round of shots, so I feel you @laurendiaz02 Last night she let out her first adorable giggles, finally! She's also sooooo close to totally rolling over from back to tummy. She like to roll to her side and from tummy to back no problem. This weekend she also discovered how to make raspberry sounds and is constantly doing it and blowing spit bubbles. Adorable! She loves sleeping in her bouncer with her snuggle bunny blanket (supervised of course).
First plane ride and was awake the whole 2 1/2 hours to Denver this is the pic of us flying home. Slept the whole time. While in Colorado her auntie and uncle took her to the zoo for the first time. 15 weeks yesterday and kinda worried she still can't roll over cuz she still hates tummy time.

I wouldn't be super concerned. My ped. Said that by 6 months babies should be able to roll over both ways. Anything before that is a bonus

My LO hated tummy time until very recently.. she just started enjoying it and started rolling over immediately. I was a little worried too but she caught on so quickly!
Sam turned 4 months on Monday. We had our 4m appointment the same day. My pediatrician was a little concerned that he's still not really using his arms to support himself so she referred me to a PT and scheduled an ultrasound to rule out any problems since Sam has a large head. We had our first visit with the physical therapist and it went really well. He just lacks a little strength in his arms. That's mostly because he's such a large baby (27.75in/15lb11oz). We got some good exercises that aren't tummy time and he actually enjoys them. We had the ultrasound this morning and I just got the results that everything is normal. Phew. It's been a stressful week.
@amangels2 just curious....what exercises do they have him doing? I think my LO could benefit from some arm exercises in addition to tummy time since he is only starting to be okay with tummy time.
@soulou17 one is called supported kneeling. You get a couch cushion and then have baby kneel on the floor with his arms on the couch cushion. It's like tummy time, but he's not on his tummy. He really likes that one because I put the pillow right next to the slider window so he can look outside. We are having really windy/rainy weather so it's very interesting out there. The second one is having him sit in front of me. He leans forward until he's supporting his weight on his hands. I help by holding his shoulders.
Both of those have him using his arms without putting the pressure on his tummy, which he absolutely hates.
Let me know if that makes sense. I can take pictures when he wakes up from his nap if it doesn't.
Henry and Oliver both started laughing this week. They also blow raspberries and bubbles. Neither has rolled over yet, but it's much more difficult to get tummy time in when there's two babies.
Abigail is 16 weeks. She loves to smile and laugh all the time!! She too hates tummy time and has learned to roll out of it. She now "talks" ALL the time! And yells at her dad when he is on his phone and stops when he pays her attention. It cracks me up! She has also start to mimic us a lot. The bottom picture I was clicking my tongue and she was trying to do it and thought it was so funny.
Miles is closing in on 4 months next week. He rolls both ways now, though primarily from back to tummy. He laughs at everything and gives a spontaneous smile. This week he's decided that screaching is his favorite way to communicate and does tiny baby crunches if he's at an angle (car seat, bouncer, etc) trying to sit up instead
Tristan will be 18 weeks this coming Sunday and we have his four month appointment today. He has started to roll in his sleep...i found him like this with his butt up in the air Monday morning. Below Daddy caught him by surprise while he was working on sitting up.

My LO will be 4 months tomorrow and she still hasn't rolled over. She only just started tolerating tummy time about a week ago when I started rolling her into it as opposed to just laying her down on her tummy. She'll only stand it for about 5 minute stretches but so much better than a week ago when she would scream as soon as she was on her tummy. This is from yesterday. Never thought we'd see the day when she was actually happy in tummy time.
Damien will be 16 weeks tomorrow. He is currently testing out this monstrosity that we bought him. He loves it when I clap along to the music.
Please be careful with the sun attachment on this. We got the same one and I actually ended up removing the sun piece cuz I read reviews where babies have been hurt by it. Babies grab it and let it go and then it bounces back and has hit them in the face/head.

Oh wow, that's good to know!! Right now he is only interested in the piano and rolling rattle thingie but he may want to mess with it at some point so I'll keep a sharp eye. Thanks for the warning!
Damien loves to bounce and this thing just isn't bouncy enough. He gets frustrated after a little bit. He is still a bit small for it though so maybe it will be easier for him down the road. He doesn't like being in it very long as a result. I wish the seat had more support as well. We keep a folded up towel around him in the seat to make it more comfortable and create a little more stability.
