Dear Kolton: Month Four

Dear Kolton,

       Is it really that time already? I know I say this every month, but I can't believe you are already four months old.. where does the time go? Why does it have to go by so fast? This past month has been a roller coaster of a month.. you have learned so many new things that it is hard to keep up with. You have not had your official 4 month appointment yet, but I measured you on my own and you are 24.5" long and we are estimating you to be about 14lbs (I will update this post once you have your appointment on Wednesday) One day I set you down for tummy time, and you just popped your head up like it was nothing new. Keli and I on the other hand were completely shocked and so excited. You have also started to hold your own bottle and are becoming quite the little pro. You actually have rolled over one time, I know you did it on accident, but hey, it still counts right? haha. You would rather sit up than be laying down, and are doing a pretty good job of trying to hold yourself up on your own. It seems like you are becoming interested in mommy and daddy's food. Could be because your mean ole daddy keeps teasing you with it. (you can get him back one day) You love putting every thing you can get your hands on in your mouth. And you love grabbing daddy's beard. Thank you for that, just means he shaves it off now! HAHA! We are still in Sweetwater, it looks like we may be moving soon, and hopefully that does not change, because you are showing signs of being ready to sleep in your own room. I think your 5 month birthday would be perfect timing to move you. The dogs still ignore you, and Mia has developed a serious jealousy issue with you. We are unsure what to do with her at the moment. We hope it does not result in having to rehome her. :( On top of doggie issues and (hopefully) an impending move, you lost another grandparent. This month has been so full of ups and downs, & you little Kolton seem to be our "up". I hope you know just how much you are loved, and how treasured, and important you are to so many people. Our sunshine in the darkness for sure. 

Love, 
Mommy
