So, we kind of think that we know what were are doing with this whole "parenting" thing. We change some diapers, feed him....sometimes constantly, and make him smile by doing all sorts of stupid things. Malcolm has a great sense of humor because he is always laughing at his daddy....or maybe he is just humoring him. :) The newest thing that we deal with is that he tends to go through about 5 outfits per day due to drool and spit up that leaves him basically wet all day. He seems happy about it. The only reason he wears clothes is so that the spit up doesn't get all over him.
Malcolm's four months old and loving summer time! Even on these hot days he's pretty chill. (And that seems like such a silly parent thing to say.)
During this past month, Malcolm has learned that his hands (and sometimes toes) can grab. So with his new skill in grabbing, he loves putting whatever he grabs in his mouth. Everything goes there - blankets, clothes, his hands, our hands, toys.
Malcolm is starting to know his name and responding by looking towards anyone who says it. He follows people, voices, and objects with his eyes and turns his head. He still has a variety of expressions that keep us smiling.When he lies on his back he lifts his head and kicks his feet. It seems like a great workout and prep for when he starts moving about the place. His head control is better so that he can sit up with assistance and he loves to look around with this new perspective to see his world.
He hums along to daddy's singing. And sometimes hums on his own. When he's tired and falling asleep, every exhale is a hum. It's very cute.
And if you're fortunate enough, he'll fall asleep humming to himself, in your arms.
And that's the deal.
