Happy 4 Months!

4 Month Developmental Milestones

*Smiles, laughs
*Can bear weight on legs
*Coos when you talk to him
*Can grasp a toy
*Rolls over, from tummy to back
*Imitates sounds: "baba," "dada"
*Distinguishes between bold colors - I noticed he is doing this while we were out in Manhattan.
*Plays with his hands and feet - He discovered his feet over the last couple of days. He plays more with his hands than his feet.


Beginning at 4 months some babies can be developmentally ready for solids. We are going to hold off solids until at least 6 months, just as we did with Leah. Louis doesn't show any real interest in food. He also still has his tongue-thrust reflex. No rush in getting started.

He is making huge strides when it comes to his physical development. He can roll from his back to his tummy and even from tummy to his back. He has taken to sleeping on his side or stomach. You put him on his back and come back to find him rolled back on his stomach. We are going to start working on a bedtime routine. Right now he just falls asleep around 9 wherever we are. Usually downstairs on the couch. It would be good to start getting him used to a routine. Make life easier as he gets older.

He loves to play, laugh and smile. He absolutely loves Leah and cannot get enough of her.

His teething is out of control some days and I wouldn't be surprised if he cuts a tooth in the next month or so.

Can't believe it has already been 4 months since he was born.
