Living the life and loving it!: 4 Months Old!!

It's hard to believe, but Barrett is four months old today! People aren't kidding when they tell you that time flies...it truly does!

Here's our monkey picture for the month:

Life sure is busy here at the Daniels' household!! Here's what we are doing at four months:

Rolling over back to tummy...

It's official. This kid is on the move! He rolls over so easily and effortlessly now you would think he had been doing it for weeks! But, he just all of a sudden started doing it on Saturday morning (Dec. 31). I laid him down on his back, turned around, and when I looked back, he was on his stomach looking up at me. It completely shocked me, and I am still surprised every time I find him in a new position. (I'm sure this shock will wear off soon, but right now, it's pretty impressive!!)

Still sucking our thumb...

He only sucks the right thumb, but he will suck all other fingers of his left hand. He has also started putting his left hand on his head while he sucks his thumb, so he always looks so chill and relaxed. :-)

Discovering our feet...

Not only has he found his feet, but he has also discovered that he can put them in his mouth...

He's quite the contortionist!!

Here's a video of him eating his toes :-)

Putting our hands together...

Instead of keeping one hand tucked underneath him when he's on his tummy, he is now able to bring them both to the front! He also likes to push his toys all around in front of him now, and he sent several flying across the floor this morning...

Holding our head up...

His head no longer flops around while it's up in the air. He is really stable and is able to look around the room at many different things while he is laying on his tummy!

Laughing, cooing, and giggling at Mommy and Daddy...

Everything we do is funny, and he particularly loves it when Daddy comes home and makes faces at him. He will turn his head towards our voices whenever we talk to him, and he loves to hold a conversation with us as well!

(I love this picture because I see the same expression on Travis' face as the expression on Barrett's face in the previous picture... It makes me smile.)

Here's a little video of him cooing and babbling away!

Making the greatest facial expressions...

His expressions continue to be priceless! This is his "angry" face, and it's the first time I have been able to capture it on camera!! :-)

And, finally, our picture with the puppies for the month!

After Travis and I spent about five minutes trying to arrange this picture, we felt like we were trying to herd cats, so we resorted to bribery. Everyone in this picture is being bribed to sit still and next to each other - the dogs with beefy dog treats and the baby with a shiny rattle.

And, for your viewing enjoyment, some other choice photos of Baby Barrett from this month:

Fingers in the mouth, feet in hand...

After a week of visiting with and meeting all his extended family for Christmas and then a loooong 10 hour drive home, Barrett had a little trouble waking up the next morning!
