Dear Family and Friends,
Sorry, I am a little late getting my monthly letter out. I turned 4 months on August 14, 2009. Boy, have things been busy around my house. My mom started back to work and she does not have as much time to keep this blog updated. I kept telling her I needed to get my letter out and finally she let me do it. I had a busy month and am doing so many new things. I am still loving the life of a baby. It is so great to be so loved and spoiled. I get catered to everyday. Everyone kisses and hugs me a thousand times a day and I hear over and over again how cute I am. I guess everyone likes me!
My mom started working and I have been staying with Mrs. Tina. She lives across the street from me. I am the only child she keeps; so once again I get lots of attention from her. I am always happy to get there in the morning and I am happy when my mom picks me up each day. My mom is home by noon everyday so the time goes by really fast. I like having my mom get home early each day. We get to spend the afternoons together and that has been so fun!! My MeMe is keeping me every other Tuesday. I love going to MeMe and Opa's. My Opa has been working from home so I get to spend time with him on Tuesdays too. Sometimes my Uncle Justin is there so I get to see him as well. My Nana and Papa have been visiting me lots. I love seeing my grandparents. This month I got to spend a day with my Great Grandma Cone and my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen came all the way from Washington D.C.
At my 4 month doctor appointment they said that I was very healthy. I hadn't gained much weight since my last appointment. I am now in the 34th percentile, but the doctor was not concerned since I am developing fine. I am 25.25 inches tall which is in the 64th percentile. I go back in one month for a weight check. I have been having some problems with my skin. I have really bad Eczema and it is not getting better. My mom and dad have tried everything and it keeps coming back. The doctor thinks I may have food allergies. I have to wait until I am 6 months old to be tested, but for now I am on steroid creams and my mom is trying to take things out of her diet that I may be allergic to. She has taken out all dairy so we will see if that helps. We go back in one month to assess the progress.
Highlights From Month Four:
- I can roll over but I prefer to sit and stand up.
- I can sit up for 7 seconds all by myself.
- I love to hold onto mom and daddy's hands and stand up.
- When I lay down, I try to sit up. It looks like I am trying to do sit ups. I am so strong.
- I am ticklish all over.
- I laugh out loud.
- I have started to try to talk and I do this ALL of the time. It really looks and sounds like I am trying to say words. So far, I love to say dadadadadada.
- I squeal at the top of my lungs when I am standing up and see myself in a mirror.
- I am sleeping 10 - 12 hours at night.
- I am drinking 8 ounce bottles.
- I rub my eyes and scratch my head when I get tired.
- I try to suck on my toes.
- I suck my fingers and my thumbs.
- I put everything I can in my mouth and I chew on EVERYTHING!
- I like to play in my Exersaucer and sit in my Bumbo seat.
- I love to take baths! I wiggle and jump all over the place while squealing and laughing at the top of my lungs. I move so much all the water pours out of my bathtub.
- I weigh 14 pounds.
- I am wearing 6 month clothes.
- I am napping a little better than month three.
- I have Eczema on my skin and it is NOT fun!! My mom has to put medicine on my that really stings. Notice I said mom. I don't think my dad wants to be associated with my pain. He sits on the sidelines and comforts me and says, "Davis, I am sorry mommy hurt you like that......" I also noticed that he had mom hold me down while I got my shots. I am beginning to notice a pattern here..........
- I still have really LOUD toots and poops.
- I like to try to pet Hershel. Sometimes I grab his ears. I laugh when he kisses me.
- I get excited to see daddy when he comes home from work.
- I am recognizing faces and smile when I see people I know.
- I am really happy and easy going.
- I met a new girlfriend at church.
I had another good month and I am looking forward to month five.
Love to you all!
Davis

So precious. I loved the update. Gotta ask. What do you do at school that you get to be home by 12 every day? That sounds like my kind of job :)
Poor Davis with the Eczema! Kaylee has it really bad also. We started to use Baby Aveeno products on her at 4 months old and saw a huge improvement. We don't have to use as much of the steroids on her skin which is so nice. We also stopped using anything scented (lotions, perfumes, cleaners, soap), and that helped lots too. I miss Tide and Downy, but she's not so icky anymore. Good luck figuring out what's bugging Davis' skin. And good luck with his weight check. Those are SUPER fun!
Kim...I love reading your updates! I can relate with you on so many levels...I know you know what I mean! :) Davis is so handsome and I just want to hold him! Wish we lived closer...our two guys would have a ball together! The job share sounds wonderful...don't you just love it when things just fall into place! Big hugs to all of you!
Okay...sorry....I didn't mean to hit anonymous!
