He also tried some mashed potatoes at aunt Cody and uncle Jason's house on Monday night (his first solid food). He had NO idea what to do with them so he naturally spit them out far enough to smash his hand into them and smear them all over his clothes. We wont be starting solids again for awhile :)
Overall, he seems to be making some big changes this week: like grabbing at things with the intention of making them his...since no one wants their water bottle back covered in baby slobber. He has been reaching for our soda cans and water bottles a lot this week. He can actually hold them on his own if they arent too full and bring them up to his mouth. Obviously the soda can is dangerous so we only let him hold that one. But he's strong and really wants to grab them. I am waiting for the day that he catches me off guard and throws soda all over me. Awesome!
He is also making some new noises and laughing a lot more. He loves when Nick holds him up in front of the bathroom mirror, he thinks that is hilarious. He also is starting to love the feeling of falling. He will laugh hysterically if you are holding him and pretend to drop him. He also likes to fly...either on our knees or when we are walking. Its definitely getting more fun now that he is interacting more!!!
Its funny because we both wanted him to roll over so bad, but we are now seeing how much this new milestone is going to affect his life...and ours. Last night we heard him screaming in his crib and both ran to see what was going on...only to find him on his stomach, sideways, wedged between his sleep bumper and the crib bars with blankets twisted all around him. Needless to say I now understand why blankets are a bad idea in the crib. Time for the "dreamsie" and nothing else, even his sleep bumper is a gonner. Since his new talent has begun, its like sleeping with a newborn again. He is up every hour now crying on the baby monitor cause he rolled over onto his stomach and doesnt know what to do. We didnt know how good we had it when he was only waking up once a night. Hopefully this phase will pass soon so Nick and I can get some sleep :)
Oh ya, we also had his 4 month check up last week and here are his stats: 18 lbs 2.6 ozs and 27 inches long. Basically the size of a 10 month old. Once again, off the charts and in the 96th percentile for weight, 90th percentile for length. His head is still in the 75 percentile...so no freakishly large Knight head yet :) Just kidding.
Check out the video and the pics of him rolling over and eating mashed potatoes. More pics to follow down at the bottom of the blog.

Yeah for rolling over!! As for sleeping, we use either fleecy footed jammies & if we think they are still cold, we'll put them in a sleep sack (or if they are wearing thinner jammies, they go into the sleep sack). As for bumpers, we use the mesh breathable ones.
