Edison's Edition (4 Months)

Weight: 17 pounds
Length: 26 inches

Edison, Edison, Edison. This kid is easy-peasy. He eats fast, he sleeps well, and he plays happily. He especially loves Alex. Sam and I cannot believe it; we did not expect him to look up to Alex so early! He stares at him all the time and is always smiling at him. Edison loves nursing. Tonight we were singing "Pioneer Children Sang as They Walked..." but we were making up words for Edison. "Edison baby eats as he lounged, and pooped, and peed, and cooed..." Then Sam chimed in from the other room, "And gurgled." I have seen a serious change in him this month. He can be on the ground all by himself happily for over an hour! He wakes up cooing in his crib. Sometimes I don't even know he's awake. He sleeps 8pm-4am, eats, and goes back to sleep until 7:30am. He did have his first serious sickness this month. Ear infection, horrible cough, and a very sad baby. I love kissing his cheeks. I feel like I can't kiss him hard enough. I love seeing his smile. I just love him. That's all.

Daddy camouflages him.

He wants to look around.

He loves people hovering over him.

Super bright flash!

New favorite picture!

Adorable pajamas!

He is so long!

He found his hands and feet last week.

He gags himself.

Little babe in a big bed.

Ready for church!

So happy.

Too cool for the camera.

Teething? Not yet!

Look at those feet!

On the count of three, JUMP!

Jean shorts. 3-6 months. He barely fit them.

He can sit in the stroller now!

He has plenty of toys (Alex is very good at sharing).

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!

Those hands are amazing!

Ready?

There's more where that came from!

He is starting to like the ExerSaucer much more!

Here are a few more things Edison does for which I do not have a matching picture:

He...

...is so strong. We don't even try to swaddle him anymore. He really likes having a blanket on top of him though. He really likes eating those blankets.

...is a bottomless pit. Sometimes he gets so full that he won't sit up. He simply refuses to bend.

...has a dimple on the left side! We couldn't see it before because he is so chubby!

...has super loud squeals.
...has started to babble more. Near constantly. He babbles so loudly!
