Timothy is four months old

Time is going by so quickly. I can't believe that Timothy is already four months old. He LOVES sitting up. While Ryan plays in the basement he often sits in Ryan's Thomas the Train chair and watches. He's usually accompanied by a rattle or other toy that he can hold. Timothy is reaching out, grabbing items and putting them into his mouth these days. His thumb sucking abilites are unbelieveable. Last night, while checking on Ryan I peeked over at Tim in his crib to find him fast asleep with his tumb in his mouth!

Timothy can roll over from back to front and then usually bursts into tears because he hates being on his belly. Ryan seemed to do both at the same time, but Timothy is taking his time in terms of developmental milestones and that's okay with us. We fully understand that he was born almost a month early and may be behind a little because of that.

Here's Timothy with Pooh for his fourth month with Pooh photos. He's a very happy baby and is almost always smiling. He's started eating solids and so far hates most fruits (we'll keep trying) and LOVES veggies. Rice cereal is just okay, but I can't imagine that stuff tasting very good anyway.

Ryan tries to include Timothy in most everything he does lately. That's been cute too watch. Timothy gets a car when Ryan is playing with his huge stash of matchbox cars. When we go out Ryan makes sure Timothy is going with us. If Timothy cries, Ryan will run to get me or Adam to tell us that "Tim crying, tummy hurts, hungry." (Ryan thinks that your tummy hurts when you are hungry).

I'm looking forward to the boys being able to actually play together. I think Ryan is a great big brother and will do a great job of teaching Timothy all he needs to know.
