4 months old!

I can't believe our sweet baby boy is 4 months old already! He's actually closer to 4 and a half months now - I am late posting because I wanted to wait until his well visit so I could fill everyone in on his stats :-) Our little guy is clearly thriving at a whopping 17 pounds, 8.5 ounces (83rd percentile) and 26 3/4 inches long (95th percentile!)! I'm so curious to see if his bigger size continues as he grows up or if he slows down later on and becomes more average sized like Brett. Only time will tell, I guess! 

Camden is such a happy baby who gives us lots of smiles throughout the day, and recently he even started giggling! He is also quite the chatter box these days :-) He will look right into our eyes and coo and babble away. I swear, it is the sweetest thing ever! One of his favorite times to coo and smile is during nursing - he'll pull away from my breast and look up at me with the hugest grin and start babbling away. He also enjoys smiling and cooing at himself in the mirror - and since he doesn't know it is himself yet, it makes it that much more fun to watch. He loves that baby! :-) Camden also loves sucking on his hands and is starting to grasp toys. He tries really hard to get a good hold but isn't quite able to bring teethers to his mouth yet without dropping them. He is getting close though! So far, he is pretty content to stay in one place, so he hasn't started rolling over just yet. This is very different than his big brother who was raring to go the moment he came out and was rolling over by 10 weeks! As much as I love Brett's energy, I'm hoping this is a sign that Camden may be a little bit calmer :-) 

Here are some pictures of Camden at 4 months old!

Camden is growing and changing like crazy these days and I can hardly believe how fast the time is going by! Since we know our family is complete, I find myself trying to savor each and every moment, and am in no rush for the baby stage to be over. I even get a little sad sometimes when I look at his newborn pictures, knowing that I will never go through these stages again. Those feelings help me to fully embrace every single second and truly appreciate how magical a new life really is. We love you Camden James and are so thankful you are all ours!
