New Tricks

We got the jumperoo a few weeks before Christmas and every time we put Braxton in it, he would just sit there and look at us like "what the heck am I supposed to do in this thing?!"

About 3 weeks ago it finally clicked and now he has been jumping like crazy.  He will stay in there for quite awhile just bouncing away... and then he starts 'talking'.  If we leave him alone too long, the talking turns into whining until we come over and give him attention.  Then its all smiles again. 

His spitting up has decreased so much since the 4 month mark.  He still has a big one every once in awhile but not every burp like it used to be.  He drools constantly, though.  And anything he can get his hands on goes straight to his mouth.  He loves to chew on our hands and fingers... I have a feeling he'll be an early teether.

He is also SO CLOSE to rolling over from his back to his tummy.  He wiggles so much while attempting it, he can turn himself around an entire 360 on the ground. 

He is so cute when he wakes up in the morning.  When we get him up to take to the babysitters he is still soo sleepy.  He tries so hard to open his eyes but it takes a few minutes.  When he can finally wake up a little he looks at us and gives us the sweetest smile! 

We've been attempting to give him 1 Tbsp of rice cereal at his last feeding.  He'll usually have a few bites and then gets fussy or refuses to pay attention and take any more.  I've also tried giving him half of his bottle first so he's not frantic or really hungry but that didn't seem to help.  He opens his mouth for the spoon and I'm pretty sure at least 1/3 of what he eats actually gets in his belly, so I don't know if he's just not interested at all or not ready for solids yet.

He has the normal bald spot on the back of his head but he has also lost at ton of hair on top of his head too...right where the last of his cradle cap is that we can't seem to get rid of.

He has started doing this thing where he brings his legs up and then kicks them down together on the ground.  He does it when he's just laying on the floor and when he's stirring in his crib.  Just kicks them to the ground... over and over.  Cracks us up!

 He has started laughing a lot more easily too... so fun!

We sure love you, Nug!!!
