4 months

Little monster has had quite a full month!!  He went on his first airplane ride and got to meet his cousin Cooper.  He did fantastic on the plane.  I brought ear plugs for the people sitting around us just in case, but they were not needed.

We flew Southwest to North Carolina, so we had a quick layover both ways.  Huddy slept one flight and played one flight on the way there and on the way back.  It was amazing.  He was absolutely fantastic on vacation as well.  He LOVES his grammy and papa!!  They took him on walks, showed him the cotton, bounced him, sang to him, talked to him and loved on him non-stop for three days.  He was exhausted from all of the love.  He actually slept better on the trip than he ever has at home.  He made it a whole 8 hour stretch one night.  He also took incredible hour plus naps every day, granted he was snuggled up in some family member's arms the entire nap.  All in all, we had a wonderful vacation and are so thankful that Grammy and Papa blessed us with this fun family time.



For Halloween, our little munchkin went as superman.  He looked fantastic with his cousin Oliver, who channeled Batman.



On the home-front, little man still wakes up every four-ish hours to eat at night and typically takes 2 thirty minute naps a day.  He just loves life so much and doesn't want to miss a thing while sleeping.

Little boy got his four month shots just the other day.  He did not do well.  Poor little guy was a champ while he got the actual injection, but then when he came home he got a fever that got up to 102.  The fever stayed for 48 hours and made him pretty miserable.  We did a LOT of rocking, walking and snuggling these days.  The nurse loved his man leggings (even though daddy doesn't) because they were easy access to the shot location.


While on vacation, we saw a little "tooth" pop through where little monster's incisor should be in the future.  That is definitely not a typical first tooth location and we were worried studson might be part vampire.  After a few days, however, the "tooth" fell out and we learned that it was probably a "teething blister" and not a tooth.  So all that hype for nothing.

Little mister loves to read books with daddy!!

We are also so blessed by having lots of friends with babies close to monster's age.  We really look forward to the time when he can actually play with these little munchkins!!   I couldn't resist the pic in the carseat, because studson is just so dang cute!!
