I promise I will start blogging more and not just these monthly updates. Things are very busy around the Rollings’ household these days!! I can smell Spring Break right around the corner though so don’t give up on us just yet!
Can NOT believe our little man is already 4 months old!! He’s accomplished some fun new things this month. He’s officially a Rolly Polly, rolling from both his belly to back and back to belly (though I think the belly to back roll is only done so he can get out of tummy time). He enjoys standing on his legs (even though the doctoe says that's a 'no no'.) He’s also cooing, babbling, and laughing a lot more now and mommy LOVES it!

He’s also started going to his new babysitter, Julie, who we absolutely adore!! Yes, we were spoiled for the first month I was back at work having the grandmothers and Krissee come take care of us…but we are LOVING Mrs. Julie too!! Winn actually loves her so much that he hasn’t shown her his ‘stinky side’ yet…yes, that’s right, my child has saved all of his poopy diapers for yours truly to take care of for the last two weeks. Thanks honey!!
Chap’s job is now requiring him to be out of town most every week through July, which leaves me a very busy single mommy taking care of my boy, teaching, and still going to grad. school. While we are VERY fortunate to have a job, and the work, we sure do miss that daddy man when he’s out of town!!!

Growing with Grover: 4 Months

Such a sweet little boy!!
He loves playing 'tic toc'!

And he sure does love his Gramps! I think my dad's excitement used to scare him, but now he can't seem to get enough of it!!
I guess the only concern I have about my child right now is his eating habits. For some reason he likes to go on these diets, refusing to eat most of his bottle at times. I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about, but after having a sick baby I think I'm a little more paranoid than the average Joe. It concerns me because our doctor says we’re supposed to be at SIX ounces, and I can hardly get him to take FIVE!! Ahhhh!! Any suggestions or advice in that area is MUCH appreciated!! Unfortuneatley, I can’t bribe him with desert yet because the good doctor says that until we’re up to 32 ounces a day, we can’t start solids. Poor baby, I know he’s gotta be sick of that dang formula!!
He might not be eating as much as he should, but he sure doesn't look it! Check out those cheecks!
Anyway, besides that feeding part, I’m enjoying each month more and more. I love watching his little personality develop; he is such a sweet baby and steals my heart every single day. He literally wakes up smiling and goes to sleep the same way. I still can’t believe he’s mine??!! I don’t think I could be more in love with anything else if I tried!!
