4 months.

4 months.

Wow.

How in the...?

Brandon and I were talking yesterday while in Ty's room and I was going through Ty's dresser taking out all of the onesies, etc. that he know longer fits in and we just couldn't stop talking about how we can't believe how quickly he is growing! Our former itty-bitty graduated from 'newborn' and is now well into being a fun, smiling, and talkative infant and Brandon and I are LOVING it!

Just to show you how much Mr. Tyson has grown, look at this picture:

That onesie is one of the "preemie" onesies that Ty wore for the first month that we brought him home. It barely covers his torso now and it's insane to think that when we first put him in them, they were still a little too big! My goodness this boy is growing!

This month's pictures were quite interesting to take. I guess I called it last month when I said that they were going to be more difficult. Again, Ty struggled after his 4-month vaccinations and was so up-and-down with his mood that I decided to wait a few days before taking these so that he might feel a little better. Then, when we finally were able to do them... it took at least an hour to get a few good shots. Not to mention, the meltdown we had when I put Ty in the basket. He seriously hates being on his back.

Age: 4 months old! 

Weight: 14 pounds 12 ounces.

Height: 25.25 inches

Eating: Ty is still exclusively on breastmilk and we can go up to 5 hours in between feedings! However, his sleep has digressed and he's back to waking up 3-4 times a night. 

Tyson likes: Ty still loves being outside... it's the best and quickest way to stop a meltdown. He loves bathtime, having his gums brushed, practicing standing, being sung to, his wubbanub, chewing on anything (but particularly his hands), and is interested in watching his daddy and I do pretty much anything.

Tyson dislikes: Ty has begun to cry during diaper changes (great...) and when we take him out of the bathtub. He also hates when I put lotion on him after the bath and he has gotten to the point where he will refuse to take his Vitamin D drops (which I don't technically blame him... they smell disgusting).  Not to mention, he hates being laid on his back... which you will see below...

Yeah... those were super fun. 

Best Moment of the Month? Hand's down it was when Ty giggled for the first time. My heart almost literally burst out of my chest and flew across the room.  He doesn't do it very often, in fact I can count the total amount of times I've heard it on one hand, but I have a feeling I will be acting a fool to get as many giggles as I can out of this little boy for the next few years.
Milestones? We are this close to rolling over and his balance and head control is SO much better. He is constantly following things with his eyes and grabbing at items within his reach. His first giggle was pretty amazing and he'll do his best to mimic our facial expressions which is SO cute. 

We are seriously so ridiculously in love with our little Ty and while I am enjoying and having SO much fun with him now, I can't wait to see what the next month has in store! I just hope it doesn't go by so fast!
