I cannot believe that our Chunko is already 4 months? Where the heck did the time go? Didn't I just give birth last month?
Chunko is such the cutey and I love him sooooo much!! He's just breezing past all the milestones and kicking their butts!
He has learned to get on all fours and rock... Now he's learned to add a leg shuffle. The only reason why he isn't zooming around our house like a mad crazy baby is because he hasn't learned that he needs to move his hands, too. We haven't showed him that part yet, and we'll let him figure it out on his own since we've already had to baby-proofed most of the house (which is very hard to do when you're moving and there is stuff EVERYWHERE). He still screams in frustration when he can't move like he wants to and I have a feeling that I'll soon be posting that he learned to crawl and hasn't stopped since. Literally from the time he wakes up, he's up on his knees trying to move.
He loves, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves, loves bathtime. He could be in a screaming rage and as soon as he hears the water turn on he's quiet and waiting. He doesn't care if it's a bath, swim time or even just kicking his legs in the sink, he's ready. Total water baby! His favorite game is chew on the cup (the one we use to rinse him with) and grab the water as it comes out of the faucet. He is determined to catch it one day. He wants to drink the water but hasn't learned to cup his hands (thankfully!) but he has learned to dip his hand an lick the water off of it. I don't really like taking baths with him, it's bad for my ego. He likes to float on his belly, lift up my shirt and chew on my tummy fat. I've explained to him several times that mommy's fat rolls are not chew toys, he's ignored me so far. He is teething now and he is cracked out over Orajel. It's helping so far but I am sure we'll need stronger stuff once he really gets rolling.
We've worked up to occasionally eating solid foods as a meal. We slacked off for a bit because we got too busy but he has explained to us that we either give him our food or his but a bottle will no longer suffice for dinner. He used to only eat a third or less but now he's up to more than half.... This little piggy...
He doesn't purr when he's eating a bottle as much as he used to. So sad too because it was really cute. He doesn't really favor talking (like goo goo ga ga) but more of a La la looooo la. Almost like he's singing to us. He does stare intently when we talk to him as moves his lips as we do, but no sound yet. We're okay with it because we don't really need our 6 month old yelling "More food Ma" every hour because he thinks he's starving or something.
He loves patty cake but not twinkle twinkle. He's okay with Hush little baby but not little piggy. He's very picky as to what mood's he's in.

I love his smile and the way he lights up when he sees us. I love his snuggles and especially love that he's back to sleeping through the night! He's still ramming his head and scooting all over the place but he won't keep doing it and doesn't cry when he does. You've got to take what you can, right?
My PPD has mellowed out a lot, but I think a lot of it has to do with us moving and not having to worry so much. Things are slowing down and getting into a rhythm and I'm able to adapt a little easier. I still cry on a dime but my snappish anger is less and less.
Oops, look at the time, got to run!!
