4 Months and Talking A LOT!

LK has started gurgling and babbling with his smiles.  He has this very loud squeal that makes us laugh every time - he is the best bubble blower I've ever seen.  LK is almost laughing, he has a few times, but it's not everyday - so we love the times that he does.   It is so much fun to talk to him and of course Mommy translates all his sounds into real words.  He has said "green," "how," "burger" and "big boy."  He is really good saying "I'm good" - he says this one a lot!  Daddy has not heard him say the following yet, but I am sure he will hear it soon enough "Mommy is always right!"  I didn't know 4 month olds could talk in complete sentences! 

 
LK is already working on his sign language
"I Love You!"



Here he is hatching his evil plans
to take over the world.


Then there is the ole' silent treatment.

 
Shouting at those crazy people what
to bid on the Price is Right!


"Milk - it does a body good!"

Happy 4th...yesterday!

Okay, so where we live is kind of in the country.  Well, it's "country" compared to the city, but not really...that's just what everyone in the city says.  Whatever.  Anyway, several people asked us "where are you going to watch fireworks?", to which we reply with "well where we live, every redneck within a 20 mile radius from our house is setting off fireworks so we don't need to go anywhere."  One thing I was worried about last night was the loud fireworks scaring LK.  But with that in mind, we went outside and stood in the driveway and watched our neighbors, and neighbors of our neighbors, and...well okay the whole neighborhood set off fireworks.  I was so distracted by the fireworks display, that I didn't look over at Donavan's reaction to the loud noises and bright lights until about 5 minutes into the show...and this is what I saw...

Come on dad, give me something just a LITTLE more exciting than this!  Boooorrrrring!

Seriously, the fireworks were RIGHT in front of our house...as in, loud booms, and bright lights and everything.  He fell asleep during the show.  He wasn't asleep when we brought him out, but the calming, soothing sounds of Japanese explosive devices put him off to dream land.  Mom and dad are raising a real party animal!

It's been a while

Sorry it's been so long since we last updated.  Apparently mom is only letting me update the blog and she just takes the pictures :-P Oh well...

 

Once LK starts crawling and doing a little more, it will be more fun to take pics and post about his new discoveries.  Right now, he's just beginning to grab for things.  He LOVES anything yellow, especially this little lion thing we got at one our many baby showers.  So...thanks to whoever got that for him!

 

He's also started to just mumble and squeal every so often.  It's funny because it will be extremely quiet, and then he'll just belt out a loud squeal all of a sudden.  Ha!  It makes us both laugh every time we hear it.  I'm not sure it's not that funny to everyone, but to us, well you know...we are easily entertained.  Now, I know everyone just wants to see more pics, so here you go:

Here I am in my bath/hammock thing.  I used to cry EVERY time mom and dad placed me in it, but now I just chill.  Dad covered me up so as not to expose me to the Internet.

And right after my bath, I get dried off, squirm, and then start to complain that dad is taking too long to put my pajama's on.

Here is mom and dad's attempt at getting me to sit up.  It works for the most part...until I have to sneeze...and then my head is a little unstable!

I'm just so photogenic....the camera loves me.

That's all for now, but I'll post some more pics soon.  I have a couple that are another "before and after" that just need to be shown in their own post :-)
