Sean at 4 Months (a little late...)

Sean is now 4 months old, as of this past Thursday. It's crazy how fast this past month has gone! He has grown so much. Every day, Jeff and I marvel at the new things he discovers! We love this little guy so much!

Here's Sean at 4 months:

• He can roll over (and much, much faster and easier than that first time caught in the video!).  He's rolling over more and more every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row (tummy to back)!  He still can't seem to go farther than his side when trying to roll back to tummy.  :)
• He moves in circles!  It is the cutest/funniest thing ever to watch!  He will slowly rotate his body around anywhere from 90 to 180 degrees before getting annoyed that's he's not really going anywhere!  He also does this at night.  It's funny to go get him in the morning and see what position he is in!
• He's a thumb sucker.  He even pulls his ear with his other hand while sucking his thumb sometimes!  Too cute.  It's even cuter when he's hanging on to his blanket.  I just hope that the thumb sucking doesn't last past his first year....
• He grabs anything he can get his hands on... and then puts it in his mouth.  He's gotten pretty good at it!
• He's finally starting to like tummy time!  He loves to stick his little bum up in the air by pushing off on his toes, make "crawling" motions with his lower half,  and kick like crazy!  He is even starting to reach for toys while on his tummy.
• He loves to stick out his tongue, drool, chomp down on his bottom lip, drool, and is just starting to blow raspberries!  
• A new favorite of his (which I am not too proud of) is watching the beginning and ending theme songs for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  He won't stand for watching anything else, but he loves those two songs.  I'll have to take a video of him watching them.
• He loves it when Momma read him stories.  He's actually surprisingly attentive and loves looking at the pictures and at the words.  I love it!
• He loves bouncing in his Jumperoo, "standing" on our laps, bouncing on our knees, being upside down, and splashing in his bathtub.

Favorite Photo Friday

Sean loves his bath!  He splashes so much, there's more water on the floor than in the bathtub by the time he's done!  Here is the little chub chub in the middle of splashing.

Man, it's hard to pick out one picture!  So, I cheated this week and sent Elder Harrison two!  Sean is 17 weeks and he's growing up so fast!

Sean's Naked Photo Shoot (with diaper ;) )

We decided to document Sean's chubbiness as this stage in his life.  That calls for diapers-only pictures!  Well, here's the chub-chub!  Look at all of those rolls!

 

 

 

 

Favorite Photo Friday

I started doing Favorite Photo Friday for my brother, James, who's on his mission. I wanted to be better about sending him pictures and updates on Sean, and thought that this would be a good way to do it this year.

I decided to go ahead a let you all see the pictures as well. Obviously, the pictures will all be of Sean. :)

I'll have to catch you up a bit, as I started the beginning of January:

14 weeks old

This is one of my favorite smiling pictures so far.  He's definitely starting to get used to the camera!

15 Weeks Old

I know he's wearing the same outfit as in the last picture, but I promise they weren't taken the same day!  In fact, he was only able to wear that outfit those two times.  How ironic!

16 Weeks Old

Sean's been putting everything he can get his hands on into his mouth!

Sean rolled over!

The video below explains it all. You will notice he is already twisted at the start, as we had started the video a little late. He first started out on tummy time. My parents (Jeff's parents) also got to see it as we happened to be skyping with them at the time. We are so proud of him.

Sean's Little Adventure at Outback Steakhouse

Tonight we went with our friends John and Christy (and little Max) to Outback Steakhouse in celebration of their new house (Thank you! It was delish!).

I was holding Sean on my lap, playing with him, when an Asian lady from the table across from us came up. In broken English, she told me that she didn't have any food right then so she could hold him for me (the funny thing is, we didn't have any food yet either). I laughed, thinking she was joking. (I get tons of people always saying things like that - babies do that to people!)

Before I was finished laughing, she took Sean from my arms and took him back to her table. I was in shock! And so was Jeff and our friends. I was so surprised that she actually took him! Jeff went over immediately and tried to get him back. He had to explain that Sean was still sick before she let him go. (And only then after her teenage daughter translated for her - that girl was soo embarrassed for her mom.) The rest of dinner until she left was so awkward.

After she left, a nearby family asked Jeff if we knew them. He said that we had no idea who she was, and that he thought it was kind of freaky. They said that they, and all of the other families around thought that they were watching some kind of TV show - everyone stopped what they were doing to watch. They said they could tell that Jeff was not too happy about what happened!

On the up side, Sean didn't even cry with her - maybe he was in much of a shock as I was! I remember saying over and over again "She just took my baby! I cannot believe she just took my baby!" while Jeff was retrieving him. It all happened in seconds but made the rest of the night so awkward until they left!

What a night! It was still super fun and, again, super yummy. (Thank you, John and Christy! We owe you!)
