Where did the time go?

My baby boy went from this:
only 7lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long
to:
this: 4 months old weighing 13 lbs 2 oz and measuring in at 24 inches long!
Honestly though. Where did these last four months go? He is getting so big. He is doing too many fun and cute things. He is rolling over like a champ. He almost rolled right off the doctor's table today! Three months was so much fun, I can't imagine what four months will bring.

Speaking of fun. Look at this little squirt! This was my attempt at naptime yesterday. I went in after a few minutes of putting him down and found him wiggled around like this! He sure is a character.
So. I've been reading that book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" and love it. It has really helped me realize what I need to be doing with Leon to help him sleep better. I started reading it Friday night, started implementing it principles on Saturday, and I'm already starting to see some results from it. This may seem a little silly, but it has given me so much hope that I can do this right. It has helped me to become more patient about it. I hope I can keep that attitude up.
Our house is finally starting to look like a real home. Kyle and I got most of the wall hangings up this weekend. We also started going through the dining room which we've been using as an unpacking room. I planted some flowers for our porch. After two months of living here, it feels good to be getting some of this stuff done. I want to post photos sometime, but I want to wait until we get new furniture and some more of the cosmetic stuff done. Maybe this fall it will be photo worthy?

So glad to hear things are going better! You'll have to share your tips! All my kids were up quite a bit at night, so I'm hoping the next one we have isn't like that or else I'll have to borrow that book! He sure is growing up quickly - he is just so adorable! It feels good to get things organized around the house, huh? I FINALLY put some mulch in our flower bed and love the way it looks so much better!
