Carson at four months:

• Loves to coo, squeal, and lately, gurgle
• Sucks his fingers and thumb all the time
• Has sadly outgrown the swing. He still fits inside, but gone are the days when he’s content to just swing and peacefully stare. Now he wants out!
• Is avidly exploring his world by grabbing for things
• Smiles and laughs when he sees himself in a mirror
• Likes being ticked, being talked to in funny voices, and grabbing our faces
• Has eczema :( We’re working on diminishing it. Any recommendations?
• Can roll over both ways (back to stomach and stomach to back). He actually seems to prefer his stomach because he usually rolls over that way and stays there.
• Is starting to move! A few times Josh or I have walked into where we left him (in his crib or on a blanket on the floor) and said “How did you end up there?”
• Now has crib bumper pads. It was time after we found him with both legs sticking through the slats one night.
• Is simply adorable:
