Today was Elijah’s 4 month appointment.  I am proud of my little guy.  He has jumped from the 30th percentile from the 25th.  He now weights 14 pounds 4 ounces, and is 24 and a half inches long.  

At this time he has rolled over from his belly to his back, 3 times, but not again since, even though he really has tried!  I think he has mastered the art of eating his own hand and shoving his fist in his mouth, haha.  I filled out one of those developmental survey things and he is doing pretty good I think.  

We had to stop at grasping objects on his own.  His hair is ever growing and I’ve had to trim the back of his hair so to avoid a mullet.  More frequently now he is giggling with stimulus as well as smiling when people talk to him in a funny voice, or even if his mommy or daddy just talk to him :).  Elijah enjoys standing on his feet, hes got some strong legs! The worst part of the appointment was the immunizations.  Poor Elijah screamed with the reddest face I’ve seen him have yet.  It took me about 15 minutes to calm my poor son down after his shots.  Since, I have spoiled him!  He is too cute!

Currently I am still loving being a stay at home mom.  Its the best job in the world!  I’ve had some struggles with low back pain, which luckily one of my former coworkers advised me for!  That is feeling better except for when I’m holding him for a long period of time, or have him in my wrap.  I’m excited because I get my jogger this week!  I cannot wait to put that to use!  So all and all, things are great.  Motherhood is the best!  We have Elijah’s dedication this weekend and about 30 family members coming between the church service and party at my parents afterward.  I’m ready for baby number two…..well, maybe in another few months!
