4 months and catching up

Its been a crazy couple of weeks, but at the same time I haven't done much. I was waiting to post about Dre at 4 months until I went to his appt. Then on Sunday he came down with an eye infection so I didn't come to work yesterday, so I couldn't post. Anyways, here are the stats at 4 months:
**weight: 14.6 40%
**height: 26.5 92%
He is long and skinny. He did not do that good with the doctor. As soon as the nurse came in he started crying. Then the doctor came in and he started crying. He was already crying when the nurse went to give him shots, so I don't know if he was crying from the shots or her. The cries were cries I had never heard from him so I don't know what to think about that. As soon as I picked him up he was fine.

Dre at 4 months:
only wants binky when he is totally ready for bed
laughs hysterically at things Matt does( I sometimes think he loves him more because of this)
loves to give 5(or just clapping his hands together)
loves peek a boo
drooling like no other (I think we are getting close to teething)
blows bubbles and spits all the time
chomps on his tongue
moved to the fast nipple
has to have his arm covering his eyes while he eats (see picture)
ate rice for the first time (loves it! I almost think he would rather eat this than have a bottle)
sleeps 11-12 hrs at night
not a great napper still (takes little cat naps throughout the day. Any suggestions on how to fix this?)
likes to sit up (with help)
plays on the play mat with his feet
loves his stuffed MIckey Mouse (it talks!)
has to have his face covered still when he sleeps (its getting really scary cause he pulls the blanket up in his crib)
talks non stop and has started to scream
loves to cuddle with mommy (and give kisses and hugs)

Here are some recent pictures


I was going to send Christmas cards out this year but haven't had a lot of time so here is the picture I was going to use.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Dre's first feeding (rice)




I can not get enough of this little guy. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Every time I look at him I get so excited that he is mine. He makes me so happy! I love him more and more every day.
