Another picture from Mama’s new career as an infant mattress.  But isn’t Daniel the sweetest sleeper you’ve ever seen?

Daniel has really gotten into his toys recently.  Here he is playing with his Skwish.

Daniel is giving multitasking a try.  Here he is playing in his activity center while keeping an eye on a Noddy DVD.

Little did Mama know when she quit her career of 17 years that her new career would be as an infant mattress.  We are very blessed that since he was three months old, Daniel has slept very reliably at night in his crib.  But daytime naps are a different matter.  If I try to put him in the crib during the day he will wake up.  And if he doesn’t get daytime naps he will get very cranky.  So I spend a good part of my day as an infant mattress.  At least Daniel is a little cutie, so I guess it’s not all that bad.

Pappy and Uncle Tom came for a visit.  Here is a picture of Daniel and Pappy with Daniel really studying Uncle Tom.

This is a video that covers Daniel’s first four months. We will be making DVD’s for the folks that don’t have internet. Warning – it’s 36 minutes long.

It’s hard to believe we’ve made it!

• Daniel’s acid is being controlled with Zegerid.
• Mama is still pumping.
• Daniel is sleeping through the night.
• Daniel can only get naps during the day if he’s sleeping on one of us.

Here are a couple of videos from this morning.  In the first Daniel is in his Baby Einstein Discover and Play Activity Center playing with his favorite part of it.  It is a set of buttons with animal pictures that plays their sounds, names and then a song.

In the second Daniel is sitting in his Bumbo Seat with his ring stacker that he’s spinning like a top.

Daniel’s four month checkup went great.  He is now 15 pounds and 2 ounces and 24 inches long.  After his checkup we went by where Mama used to work for a couple of minutes so that they could see Daniel in person.

This is a picture from yesterday with Daniel with glowing red eyes, but does show how sweetly he often clasps his hands when taking his bottle.

Mammy came to visit Daniel today.  She’s come to see him a few times before, but this is the first time I got pictures.  She gave him his bottle and held him while he got about an hour long nap.

These are Daniel’s first experiences with his Baby Einstein Discover and Play Activity Center.
