I feel like I was just writing Sam’s four month post! Time is really flying by. Every time I turn around, it seems like Sam is doing something new and getting even cuter.

Sam’s stats:

• Rolls over. He can still roll over from his stomach to his back and I think he is trying to roll over from his back to his stomach. So far he is just rolling on to his side.
• Found his feet. A week or so Sam discovered that he has feet. He loves to hold his feet and stare at them. He pulls off his socks and sucks on them. On more than one occasion I have picked up a sock to find it soggy with drool.

• Sleeping habits. Sam is still sleeping through the night for the most part. I put him to bed between 7:30 and 8:00, feed him at 10:30 and then he sleeps until about 7:00 or 7:30. He has had a little cold for almost the entire month of February so he’s had quite a few nights of waking up at about 5. Not so fun, but he is on an antibiotic now, and he has been sleeping better this week. We are still swaddling him, but I am going to try to start weaning him off of that when he feels better.
• Teething. No teeth have popped up yet but we can tell they are coming. He is drooling like crazy and chomps on everything. The last couple of days he has been very fussy but his mood improves with a little Tylenol, so I am guessing they will be breaking through any day now.
• Starting solid foods. Today Sam had his first taste of rice cereal. He did a great job and I am looking forward to many more meals! I’ll be writing another post with more first food details soon!
• Reaching and grabbing. Sam has been practicing his grasping skills and is making steady improvements. He has a number of toys to help him practice. He hasn’t really figured out how to do anything with the objects he grabs except put them in his mouth. I am anxious for him to figure out how to shake his toys to make them rattle, but I should probably just enjoy the silence for now.
• Squeaks, squeals and babbles all of the time. He gets more talkative every day. In fact, we are pretty sure he has even learned some lines from Arrested Development like, “Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog”
• Social and aware. He has really started noticing other people and likes to smile and flirt. My friend Deirdre and I have been going to Yoga with our babies every Wednesday for weeks and I think this week was the first time Sam realized they were there. He looked over at little Evelyn right before class and have her a big smile. So sweet!
