Michael is now full of smiles and lots of very concentrated baby talk. Long sentences of coos, followed by bashful smiles when he gets a good response. Last week he went on his first plane ride to meet the extended family; which he did marvelous on. He loved going as a family and keeping an eye on all of us. Once there he gave everyone lots of smiles and loved meeting everyone. He gave each person a good looking over, then a wonderful smile, and everyone in turn fell instantly in love with him. He is a complete charmer.
It is so fun to watch his brain working, he listens and studies things. Right now he is working hard at how to get things to his mouth. His big brother laughs and laughs as he watches this process of now how do I get the toy to my mouth and not my eye or nose. His passion for food and bath hasn't changed a bit. The other night Dad was rocking him to sleep and trying to skip the bath and boy did Dad hear about it. The protest stopped and turned to instant smiles and coos once the bath water was running. He is easy going as long and those two things happen when he thinks they should.
His 4 month visit proved that he has caught up with the averages and now is a healthy 15.15 lbs. Plus he got the all-clear to start trying out foods so that will be a delightful surprise to him to get to also eat at the table and not just smack his lips at us through meals. We gave him a spoon the other night and he was quite delighted. He also caught his first bug, after our trip. Poor guy has a sad cough and likes to protest after each cough with a good ugh. He still manages to smile lots despite feeling under the weather and is getting better so once this bug clears up the feeding adventure begins.
It is so amazing, that a completely innocent, needy, brown hair, green, brown, grey, blue? eyed little guy can bring so much joy to a family. That the moment we met him we were in love and awed. What a beautiful, huge lesson in love Michael has given us. What a blessing and miracle!
