4 months

This month will be known as the month Layden found his tongue. And he loves it.
Layden is doing well. His new noise is big-big-big-big-big. He didn't do so well on the car ride over to my parents, there was a good bit of crying and Oli sitting in the back sleeping and holding a pacifier in. Then on Sunday he took a whopping six hour nap. His average nap length prior to that was 30 min. He even slept well that night. Then on the drive home he slept almost the whole way. That trip was definitely a good idea.
Layden is getting very big, so heavy. He also has the added talent of being able to rotate once he is on his stomach. He recognizes people much better now. Sometimes he sees me accross the room and just smiles at me. It is so incredibly beautiful. If they had a drug that made you feel like that it would be so addictive.
He is so interested in everything and wants to put it in his mouth. He especially enjoys his middle two fingers of the left hand. Today Oli gave it a try but he didn't get much out of it. Layden is a pro at giving me warm fuzzy feelings. Mostly all he has to do is smile but when he smiles at my singing that is worth extra points.
He likes grammy real well. We think it is because we look so much alike. She picks him and he thinks "Yay mommy" in a bit he realizes it isn't mommy but by then he has decided grammy is pretty cool in her own right.
