So, I just realized this was in my drafts box, I never finished it and never posted it. Oh well. He's what I started!
I can't believe it, as I say every month, that my baby is already 4 months old! He defineitely looks like a baby now and not so much like a newborn. The one thing he still does very seldom is when he is REALLY sleepy, is bring his feet up to his belly and curl up when you pick him up. I know that won't last too much longer so I'm soaking it all in.
Here's some of the things Caleb really likes right now:
His changing pad- he still really likes to lay on it and almost always can calm him down and make him happy if you lay him on it.
His playmat- he loves to squirm around on it, grab at his toys, roll to toys on the mat, and watch the lights. It's a great thing for mom too as it will keep his attention for at least a little while. But he likes it best when I play with him too.
Standing- Caleb LOVES to stand and wants you to let him stand all the time. He looks so cute while he's standing too!!! He really is so strong and can pull himself up with us just holding his hands. He just needs a little support but can stand for a while without tipping over :)
His steering wheel toy- he has a heart after his daddy and loves his steering wheel toy. He'll spin and spin that thing till it looks like it will spin right off!
Mommy massages- if the lotion is warm enough, he really likes getting all lathered up before bed. But if it's chilly, he'd rather not.
His thumb and index finger- he goes to town on those two guys! You will always find him with them in his mouth, grabbing his tongue, rubbing his gums... he loves them.

My Fun little boy
Caleb is SO much fun at this age. He started walking right before his birthday and it is so fun seeing his little self walking all around the house. He just babbles away, usually in his own language, but every now and then he'll throw in a word I recognize. Sometimes, he knows it (like ball, sock or apple), sometimes it's a coincidental noise (like the occasional swear word (and he didn't learn it from us).
Caleb walks around with his blanky, especially when he's tired. It's so very sweet-- he looks just like the little boy from Charlie Brown, but way smaller. He sometimes will just bend over and rest his head on the floor, almost doing a yoga pose. He'll snuggle and even fall asleep on the floor watching the fake fireplace on netflix.
Caleb's hugs are priceless. He bows his head onto whatever he's hugging. He hugs, mama, daddy, the dog, the baby in mama's tummy, the couch, the cup, he hugs everything. And we always go "awwww, nice hugging", which makes him do it again.
He likes to give kisses too. They still are the mouth open chomp your cheek off kisses and I love them!
Caleb loves to play his drums, but will use his drumsticks to play on just about anything. We just have to make sure he doesn't play on mama or the dog. He likes to play cars and likes to make the "vroom" noises. He likes to clean and likes using his little broom to sweep. Any time he gets a rag he either wipes off himself or will start to dust/wipe off something in the house. (That's my boy!) He loves his teddy, and sometimes carries him around. Teddy is about 1/2 his size and they are so cute together.
Caleb loves to dance and dances to ny beat or music or anything! He just loves music!!!
Unless he's sick or super tired, we can get him to laugh at any time. He is ticklish and also laughs at some pretty silly things (like shaking his blanket in the air etc). There is nothing better than baby laughs!
I just have so much fun with my little boy. We have been going to the park more and he likes going down the slide with mama. He also likes playing in the sand. We'll have to get a sandbox someday.
There's so much to say. Everyday is something new. Something new he's learning or trying. A new word, a new expression. A new food, a new habbit. And everyday is that much better than the last day.
