4 Months Old

Canon is now 4 months old!! I can hardly believe it. These 4 months have gone by so fast. He has always been such a good baby, and I simply love being his mommy. I always found it strange when people would say things like, "I can't remember what it was like before we had our baby..." or "I can't imagine life without him..." when their babies are so young, but I'm starting to see what they mean. I can imagine life without Canon, remember how it was before him, but I wouldn't ever want to trade him in to have that back. I absolutely adore my little boy. Seeing him smile simply melts my heart. I can't believe I'm not tired of that yet. Oh, and do not get me started on what happens to me when I hear him laugh. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. He's the cutest little guy in the whole world!

Canon, I love you soooo much!!

Here are some of the updates on this little cutie-pie:

• His 4-month check-up was yesterday, and he is now 12 lbs 3.7 oz and 25 inches long. He received some more vaccinations, and he was such a trooper. He barely even cried at all at the doctor's office. He came home and crashed for about 4 hours and then let it all out, wailing at the top of his lungs. However, that wasn't something that a little Tylenol couldn't handle. I think the shots made him a bit ornery, but he was still mostly good through the night.
• He cries much less when it's tummy-time. He's holding his head up so well now. He even rolls over occasionally...albeit, not terribly often. He's getting better at playing with things in his grasp too.
• He really likes other babies...really, anyone who's smiling at him. He gets a kick out of his own reflection too. I call it his friend in the mirror.
• He started being more vocal these days, except now he likes to scream and screech, not really out of dislike for things...just because he likes to be loud. I wonder how long this phase will last! :) Along with being more vocal, he's started blowing bubbles in a very drool-y sort of way! Kinda gross, but kinda cute too!

Enjoy the photos and videos!!
