POWELL - 4 MONTHS OLD

12/19 Powell rolled over from belly to back for the first time

12/24 Classic Powell these days: his hands together and/or in his mouth

12/24 Look at that frowny face!

12/24 First Christmas Eve...and Christmas jammies :)

12/25 Powell's first Christmas

12/25 This is how Powell spent most of Christmas morning (Mommy and Daddy would have liked to have joined him :)

12/30 Borrowing his cousin, Domenic's, sweet ride :)

12/30 Falling asleep in Papa's arms

12/31 New Year's Eve bowling with the fam

12/31 Oh no! Reliving Christmas Eve at the bowling alley (but these jammies have footies so there was no where for the poop to go)

1/6 The holidays must've really worn this guy out! He keeps falling asleep like this!

1/8 Starting to roll over to his side when he sleeps now

1/9 Already too big for the bassinet, this was Powell's first night in his crib

1/10 Looks like he slept pretty well :)

1/10 Powell's first time in the jumper. It was a hit!

1/11 Even when he's tightly swaddled, he manages to get out of the swaddle and roll to his side

1/12 Powell was upset so CJ lent him his JJ to help him feel better. Looks like it worked :)

1/12 CJ took this picture

1/15 Always grabbing his toes

1/17 Those rosy cheeks are due to Powell's sensitive skin and this cold weather. Still looks pretty adorable!

1/17 We put Powell down for a nap in his swing and this is how we found him a few minutes later. Uh, guess that's why it has a buckle on it :)

- 12/19 He rolled over for the first time today! He was on his belly and he rolled to his right side. It may have had something to do with being a little off balance from his arms being a little tucked under him, but regardless, he rolled over...twice!
- 12/20 He has really started laughing. Tonight he had us laughing so hard we were crying because he kept imitating our laughs.
- 12/23 We discovered today that he laughs when we play Peek-a-boo
- In the last couple of days he has started to use his hands more, pulling his binkie out and trying to grab toys. And of course, stuffing those hands in his mouth :)
- 12/29 He was actually playing with the toys on his swing today
- 1/4 Today was the first day we've really seen Powell reach for his toes and get them. He loves to try to curl up in a ball when we're changing his diaper, but this time he was playing with his toes instead. So cute!
- He likes to chew on his tongue
- 1/17 He rolled all the way from his back to his belly today
- He is on his 3rd cold in two months
- He loves "This is the Way the Lady Rides"
- He is just such a doll! He has an infectious smile that he gives out so freely that he just makes every one's heart melt every time they see him. We're so in love with this little guy!
