Four Months- Watch out World!

Cute little John had his four month check up today. He is growing like a weed and now weighs 16 pounds 4 ounces. (Brace yourself, some mommy bragging is about to start.) The nurse commented to me that John was super strong and then later when the doctor came in he too was amazed at the little man's strength. The guy (John, not the doctor) just loves to stand up, with me balancing him of course. The doctor said soon John would be ready to sit in a bumbo. Silly doctor the kid has been chillin' in that thing for two weeks now. And my suspicions were correct, he is indeed teething. His hair has been growing like crazy too. He has had three haircuts to keep his mohawk from reaching six inches high. Neil finally took the clippers to him and, much to my relief, he still looks quite dashing. I need to post some new pictures of the fellow but Grace attacked the camera with a crayon and then stood on it so I'm going to see if I can get it working tomorrow. So far John is not a fan of baby cereal but he is a fan of mommy. I am usually sporting little scratches all over my neck from his tiny little baby claws. He grabs onto me and does not like to let go. John also loves his sister. They like to sit on her bed together and laugh whilst I read them stories. Their favorite right now is Go Dog Go. Grace loves when the girl dog asks if the boy dog likes her hat and John just follows her into crazy giggles. John has been sleeping through the night now for 2 1/2 months- with a two week break from an ear infection. And when I say sleeping through the night I mean 12 solid hours so Mommy's happy disposition has returned. John continues to be super happy. He rarely cries (except during relief society at church, should I be concerned?)and if you look at him he is all smiles. Oh, and he is also super ticklish. Whenever I change his clothes he laughs like a crazy man. And he has the perfect chubby cheeks for kissing. For some reason I just can't control myself with my babies, I am constantly kissing their cute little heads. I need to be careful, we sat next to an old stranger man at church last week and he looked at me like I was deranged. It was either from my smooching the baby's head or my outfit choice. Well if anyone other then my mom made it to the end of this baby update, I hope you enjoyed it. And a Happy Mother's Day to all!!
