Monday marked Ben turning 4 months old. Its hard to believe its been 4 months already, but it also seems like its been so much longer than 4 months - - strange, right?? He is getting to be such a boy. The past couple of weeks he has taken on a chubbier appearance - which with Charlie. always meant a growth spurt was right around the corner. He's already so big, that its hard to imagine another jump in his growth. People who ask how old he is are already shocked when we tell them he's only 4 months. He's such a sweet boy though. He has learned that he loves to be picked up and held and will often start crying just to get this treatment. He eats like a champ and is a great sleeper. He's still having some reflux problems, but we will FINALLY be getting him into the GI specialist on Friday. Hopefully they can give us some help since I feel like we've tried most everything at this point without any real change. And now, though we haven't spotted any progress, he's showing all the signs that he is probably teething. He is not rolling yet - there's a whole lot of baby there to move in order to roll! :-) But he loves standing up (with support of course) and has recently started using the bouncer. He is super observant and aware of everything around him all the time. He has also recently developed an amazing belly laugh that is just music to anyone's ears. He is so easy going and lovable. Cannot wait for all the exciting times coming in the next couple of months!

couldn't tell! He loves his little brother like crazy!)
