4 months

Another month has flown by and David is already 4 months! He continues to be such a happy, easy baby. We really are just all enjoying him so much right now! Over the past month he has started sleeping more and more without the swaddle. We still wrap him up at night but he's usually totally out of it by morning. He rarely wakes up fussy  - usually just smiling and talking away and sucking on his hands. When I put him on his tummy it doesn't take him very long at all to roll over to his back. He's trying to roll over from his back to his tummy but stops kind of half way and passes out.

Pretty much the only time he fusses is when he finishes his bottle or when he's really tired. In the last week we've moved up to a 6 oz bottle every 4 hours and he doesn't seem to fuss so much but he still gives out a little whimper when all of his milk his gone. Just like all the Allen's - he loves to eat :)

I got him a mobile over the last month so he has a new place to play and new friends to talk to :) He loves it and the other kids love it too and like to stand by the crib and talk to him about it :) Such a lucky boy to have sooo much attention.

Happy 4 months sweet baby boy!! You are such a special treat to our family and we are so thankful for your precious life! 

 Here's his favorite way to sleep - half way to rolling over - then stop and snooze :)

 Banjamin loves to give David kisses. These boys have no idea how much fun they are going to have together! This time next year we'll have two more partners in crime running around here!

 Of course Gracie continues to love to be his little mamma too :)

 Another favorite place to sleep is in our bed. He takes most of his naps there. Pretty sure he is going to be a full on thumb sucker. How crazy that number 1, 3, and 5 are thumb suckers and what's even crazier is that John-Mark and Ben (the two that look most alike) don't suck their thumbs but both have a blanket that they love to chew on!

Ok big boy - you're growing soooo fast!! I know I can't slow it down but I hope I can slow down and enjoy you more before you're running around here with the rest of these crazy kids!!
