four months.

I'm amazed at how fast this baby changes and grows.  As of his four month check-up, he's 16 pounds and has grown a couple of inches.  He's a husky boy, as Filipinos would say.  I love his little baby man-boobs.  And it's like he has no joints, no wrists or ankles, because his sausage arms and legs are so chunky.  And you can't see his neck because it's covered with his double chin/nape of his neck.  The downside to that is when stuff gets stuck in those folds, it could get pretty foul.  But all that stockiness just means more sweet baby girth to cuddle with. 

We're getting to see more of his personality.  He can get sort of tantrumy and stubborn when he goes down for naps, throwing his back into an arch or shaking himself awake.  But when he succumbs to his tiredness and gets drowsy, he sort of hums a throaty hum to himself until he falls asleep.  He can cry but he often just yells or screeches when he's not happy or fussy.  I hope that doesn't mean a temperamental toddler in the future .  But he likes getting tickled and loves jumping in the jolly jumper.  And he's really liking his baths.  He was not happy the first couple of times but now he likes to lay in the warmth and splash the water by kicking his feet.  He's still a talker, squealing and cooing his conversations to anyone who will listen including his crinkling giraffe toy.  I said the last month, he's seems a bit of a serious kid, but I think it's more that he's just chill and laid-back, like his dad.
