Four Months Is Fun

At almost four months old, I already think John is entering such a fun age. He can do so many things! He plays with toys and flirts with us all day long. When I'm holding him and Chris does googly faces at him, John balls up "laughing" (still not sure if he's officially laughing) and buries his face into my chest, then peeks out again seeking more googly faces. Below you can see John playing on a blanket next to my desk while I get some office work completed:


I actually feel slightly mean giving John tummy time with toys in front of him. He desperately yearns to grab his toys, but every time he reaches forward to grab one, of course, he can no longer hold himself down and crumbles to the carpet. Very frustrating. But, I suppose this kind of yearning helps babies learn to crawl, so perhaps it isn't too mean of me.

Below is a photo of our beautiful son in the bathtub with shampoo in his hair. His eyes are turning brown. I took this photo because John had been kicking enthusiastically and grinning like crazy for several minutes. Out came the camera, away went the smile . . .
