4 months of Axel Baby

 Hey!  This guy is four months old now.

 

He is one social guy.  A little flirt...he'll smile, coo and laugh at most people.  We spend a lot of our days trying to get the baby belly giggle out of him.  I think Tobi might be the best at it.  He really seems to think she is pretty great (blissfully unaware that he has had more near accidental injuries at her hands than I can even count.) 

Now that he's gained some serious head and neck control there are all kinds of new things to try out.  He loves to "play" with the baby toys while laying on his stomach.  Unlike his sister at this age he LOVES to be on his belly.  I think he might be quick to learn to crawl.  He is really eager to move and he does, but mostly in a circle.  He is rolling over like crazy.  He hardly will stay on his back...which makes changing diapers a challenge.  The exersaucer made its way down from the attic and so far it seems like a hit as long as he is not too tired.
We also got the Bumbo seat (or as Tobi calls it the "Bumbaloo chair") out.  He really likes sitting up like a big shot!

 

 But his favorite things to play with are still his hands. 

 

His 4 month well baby check up was today and he's looking good.  Long and lean the doctor said -16 lbs 4 oz (50%) & 26 1/2 inches (90%).  He might be lean but he's got plenty of chub in all the right places.  Definitely squeezable, kissable and almost edible!
