Bouncing Boo

Four months, and in the 95th percentile for length. Almost too big for your 3-6 month clothes already. Since your recent growth spurt, now your legs are all shaky when you try to stand. But boy oh boy do you love your bouncer!

And chasing the cats... if you could chase. For now you just lunge yourself towards them, in hopes whoever is holding you will understand that it means you want to pet that cat, NOW. And by pet, I mean grab a handful of her fur and pull. Today you gave her a nice pet, though... a nice, soft, non-pulling pet. Then you pulled after a few gentle strokes. Hey, you're the baby, gotta do it.

You started making new sounds yesterday... "bla-bla-bla-bla."

Yesterday we took you to the zoo for the first time. You tried so hard to get to the little chicks! We saw white-cheeked gibbon monkeys -- a momma, a papa, and a youngin. The young monkey was going crazy swinging around on all the branches, then would go to his mama and nurse a little. Then he'd go back to swinging like mad, then nurse a little. I loved it! I was wearing you in the Sleepy Wrap at the time. Soon after, you needed to nurse, too!
