the branigans: four months!

Age: four months
Stats: weight- 16 lbs 13 oz (75 %ile)
length 25 1/2 inches (75 %ile)
Clothes: You are mostly out of all of your 3 month clothes now! We have switched over all of your onesies to the 6 month ones which snap much easier at the bottom! Some of your pajamas are still 3 months. I have to say that your pajamas with the footies are my favorite on you. There is just nothing more adorable than you in your cozy pajamas.
Favorite Activities: You are liking tummy time a little more and are learning to roll over onto your tummy like a pro! One thing you also like is being outside! We have started meeting Daddy at Starbucks on his day off right when we are done at Stroller Strides. You love to sit on the patio with us and watch the people and look all around you. Bear also loves this time because he gets lots of love from the people who pass by. On a side note: If we ever go anywhere with both you and Bear, it never fails that Bear gets all the compliments and you barely get noticed. This always make me and Daddy laugh because we think you are the cutest. Of course we love Bear with all our hearts too. We think we might make him a Facebook Fan Page.
Least Favorite Activities: You still aren't too keen on clothing changes, although you are getting better at it. You had to get a few more shots at your 4 month appointment and that wasn't too pleasant. You did much better than the 2 month shots afterwards though. It always breaks my heart to see those little bandaids on your fat little legs.
Favorite Memory this Month: One day you were laying on your play mat and Bear came over to lay by you and me. It was so funny because you just started stroking his paw and really observing him and he just laid there and didn't move. I think you were trying to figure him out : ) Everyone always asks how Bear is liking you and it just makes my heart to happy that he is so gentle around you. We always knew he would be a great big brother.
Signature Moves: You have really started blowing raspberries lately! You are finding your voice more and more and it is such a joy to watch you "communicate" with us.
A few pics from this month...

We sent this to all our friends at Leawood on their first day.

You managed to sneak one of your arms out of your swaddle sack during your nap...

I'll eat you up, I love you so.

One of our Starbucks Fridays with Daddy!!

During the night you managed to get BOTH your arms out of your swaddle sack...needless to say we stopped swaddling you shortly after this.

This is what Bear does at our Starbucks Fridays...pretty pathetic huh?

Brothers.

You attended your first wedding! Uncle Ron and Aunt Lori got married. We went and sat in the very back incase we needed to make a quick escape. Daddy fed you throughout the ceremony and you did great! You looked so handsome too : )

One day we went and helped Lindsi with her daycare. Your friend Reagan was there so we snapped a pic together! You and Reagan are only a few days apart.

This month we also started going to MOPS. You didn't do so well in the nursery during the first meeting but the second one you did great. All the ladies love rocking you and snuggling you.

This month you have also discovered the TV. You love to look at the moving bright colors...I set you down here one day for a second and came back and you were just watching TV! It made me laugh a lot.

I clipped your nails one day and this happened...it looks much worse than it was! Just cut one a little too short...luckily I don't think you even noticed.
