He keeps growing...

David continues to amaze us everyday, mostly because he is growing up so quickly. He will be 4 months old on December 11th and is learning lots of new things. David is getting so strong he often tries to stand instead of sit in your lap. He is holding his head up so well, we decided to try the exersaucer when we returned home from Thanksgiving break and he LOVES it! If I have him sitting on the couch with me and he sees it, he longingly looks at the toy with an expression of "please mom put me in that fun thing"! This picture shows one of our favorite new developments. He is learning to sleep so that his arms hold in his pacifier, YEAH! All new parents out there know this is huge! I rarely have to make the trek to his room in the middle of the night anymore to plug it back in his mouth.

David also developed his first cold over the weekend. I'm not sure it was as tramatic for him as it was for us! I recently had a struggle with some kidney stones (ouch!) and the pain I felt from the stones (yes I feel like a 70 year old man) was nothing compared to the pain I felt watching my baby boy stuggle to breath out of his nose while he ate. We did all the helpful things "they" say to do: humidifier, elevate his head, use nose drops to clear out all the gunk. He got over it quickly and seems to be back to normal today. We are so thankful it was quick and somewhat painless! Here are a few action shots from the past week. We plan to go see Santa soon, so hopefully we'll have more to share by the weekend.

David loves to watch T.V. (surprise, surprise)! He doesn't sit like this often, but I had to take a snap shot of our little couch potato. Doesn't he look like he is just soaking it all in?

David in his exersaucer. His legs are strong enough to turn him around and around. He loves it!

More play time!
