Duncan: 4 Months Old

"4" onesie made by:
Grandmom Debbie

I'm 4 months old today already! Holy cow!

I'm such a big boy now... Today, since it's my 4-month birthday, I decided to successfully roll over from back to front for the first time! Hooray!!

My Mommy & Daddy are so proud of me! Not only that, but my cousin Leslie is here visiting this weekend and she was so excited that she got to see me roll over. :)

It's been a lot of fun having her here. She loves to hold me and I love to be held, so we get along just fine. :)

I've been getting up a lot more the last couple nights (angry) and Mommy & Daddy look VERY tired. Mommy says it's the "dreaded 4-month sleep regression" but I don't even know what that is. So... During the day, I'm still in good spirits, play & talk a lot, and work hard at this new rolling over thing. I'm usually a pretty happy guy even though the nighttime sleep thing is a new challenge. :)

This week is going to be a very fun one because we are going to Colorado for 2 weeks! I'm going to meet all my Colorado family for the first time! Well, I've met Uncle Trung, Auntie Heather, and cousin Logan before but it's going to be just as exciting to see them again! It's gonna be such a cool trip!

If my next journal entries are late, it's because we are on vacation. So don't freak out! They'll get updated when we return. I promise! :)

Love,
Duncan

Duncan: 17 Weeks Old

How did I get to be 17 weeks old already?! In a few days, I'll be 4 months old! I'm such a big boy.  :)

Granddad Tony came to visit me on Sunday and we hung out together. I'm pretty happy just sitting in his lap. I don't get to see him often since he lives in NC, but for some reason, something about him is very familiar to me and I'm always happy to see him.  :)

The last couple weeks have been fun ones and I'm reaching all these milestones right on track:

-  As you already know, I've been sitting in my Bumbo chair and figuring
    out how to balance while playing with toys. It takes coordination!

-  I've been sitting up more in general and I like it!

-  I still love to suck on my hands and fingers so much! I prefer these

    two fingers to a pacifier any day!

-  This week, I am all about trying to roll from back to front. I haven't
    been able to do it yet, but I sure do try hard!!

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "This is just a bunch of photos of this kid laying on his side. BIG DEAL!" Well, just to show you how hard I try, here is video footage:

I'm pretty sure I told Mommy to edit the video and cut out the embarrassing ending, but she must have forgotten... So rude.

Anyway, here's another million photos Mommy took today! Enjoy!

I'll be back to show off my 4-month onesie next time. It's gonna be uber-cute, so don't miss it!

Love,
Duncan

Duncan: 16 Weeks Old & Matthew: 35 Years Old

Today is a double whammy! I turned 16 weeks and it's Daddy's birthday! Check it out, we could be twins:

This day was all about Daddy and I helped Mommy make it a special day for him. Ok, mainly I just played quietly and was a good baby while Mommy made cupcakes today, and while Mommy got Daddy's presents wrapped earlier in the week.

Being good pays off because my Grandmom sent Daddy a birthday package and there were presents for me, too! I so rock.

Happy Birthday, Daddy! I hope you had an awesome day. I had the best time opening presents with you (i.e. supervising you from my Captain's chair). Love you lots, Daddy!!

Hey! I have feet!

Mommy apologizes for the blurry shots, but there was a lot of action going on! We forgive her, and she promises to do a better job next time. :)

Love,

Duncan
