What four months can do...

Evan is four months old today! Hooray for our strong, good-natured, and intelligent little boy!

A professional photographer took a few photos of Evan at the hospital when he was just a wee thing. Of course, when we saw the photos a couple of weeks ago, we couldn't resist not purchasing our favorites. Here's one of those photos of Evan, taken at just 4 days old:

And here's a photo, taken just this morning, at 4 months:

My, what time can do!!!

Here are a few of the many things Evan can do now that he couldn't do 4 months ago:

• Stands up, using only our hands for balance
• Smiles big, toothless smiles
• Laughs!!
• Rolls over
• Eats his feet
• Grabs at everything within reach
• Quivers with excitement as he is reaching
• Discovers Freya, and the thrill of fingers full of fur
• Grew out of his Cocoonababy
  
• Understands games like "Throw the Pillow at Daddy's Face" that Mommy and Daddy like to play with him (and laugh when the pillow hits Daddy's face)
  
• Sucks on his fist
• Puts everything he can into his mouth
  
• Aims at and kicks swinging toys and send them flying
• Starts babbling when Mommy and Daddy are having a serious conversation
• More than doubled his birth weight (I weighed him yesterday, and he's a whopping 18.2 pounds)!
  

And a few things that haven't changed:

• Looks like an angel when he sleeps
• Looks at objects with big eyes and an 0-shaped mouth
• Loves taking a bath
• Tolerates the swing only for a few minutes
• Is calmed by music
• Loves lullabies
• Melts Mommy and Daddy's hearts

Here are the rest of the professional photos from the hospital (I took photos of the photos, so pardon if they're a little blurry):

And last but not least, here's our little boy (not so much a baby now!), enjoying the morning with his dad...
