Nathan the Tummy Sleeper Turns 4 Months Old

YAY - Nathan got to meet Uncle Jason this past week as he was in town for some business.  Nathan really enjoyed Uncle Jason's funny faces and noises that he makes!

WOW WOW WOW!!!  Nathan turned 4 months old this past week!  Where does the time go?!?!  This is a cute picture that we took of him on his 4 month birthday.  Daddy has been teaching him how to blow his lips and as you can see from the picture above he's getting the hang of it!  Let's see...what has our little guy done this week?!?!  Well, on his 4 month birthday he celebrated by rolling from his back to his front while he was on his tummy time mat and then he did it later that day in his crib during nap time.  He mastered rolling over to his right side and then on Thursday he decided to try the other side which he also mastered.  He's so into rolling over that he now thoroughly enjoys doing it while on his changing table and while in the tub.  This makes things quite exciting for mommy and daddy!  Also, for the first time, Nathan let out a nice big cry when mommy took something away from him (her nasty purse strap that he watned to chew on).  Other big news this week is that he slept on his tummy all night long for the first time Sunday night!  We asked his pediatrician if he had any concerns about this and his response was "not really, but if it would make you more comfortable to have him sleep on his back go ahead and duck tape him to the mattress" - HA!

Now that he's 4 months old he got bold and pet our kitty, Hobbes, on his very own.  Hobbes didn't seem too interested in being pet by the newest member of our family.  After a few strokes Hobbes gave Nathan a displeasing look and jumped off the chair.

We were able to capture on film Nathan petting Baxter (ok, he's not exactly petting him in this picture - more like yanking on him).  Thank God that Baxter is so gentle natured!

Check out Nathan's cool new socks that Grandma Pratt sent him compliments of Shanna (cousin Kyle's fiance).  They have fun faces on the toes and they rattle when he kicks his feet.  He has been having fun with these!

Nathan's friend of the week was this cute little bunny rabbit.  He really enjoyed the bunny's nice long ears...they make for a good sucking toy!

Isn't this so cute?  It's a little onesie from Great Aunt Sandy and it says "Sweet Pea" on it, which is what he is!  We had a bit of a warm spell last week and he was able to sport some short sleeves again!

Geez - is he overtaking the bear or what?!?!
