Hello! How are you? I am doing great! I just get sweeter and sweeter and better and better with age! :)
This month we celebrated 4th of July. We got up early and went on an early morning hike. I don't know why everyone thought it was so early. Can't they just sleep through everything and get carried around ... that works for me!
That evening we had a family party at our house. I got to hang with my gals: cousins Adeline and Mila. We're all born within a few of each other but as the senior member of the group I feel it's my responsibility to train them up!
We had a big fireworks show that evening. I wasn't scared by the fireworks or anything but for some reason my dad felt the need to protect my ears from the loud bangs so this is how I had to enjoy the show. Dad!
We've been up to our cabin a couple times this month. I love it up there. It's so nice to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. And of course be catered to for my every whim also. I've got it GOOD! I love riding 4-wheelers with my family too. I just nestle into mommy and sleep the whole ride!
I started eating solid food this month. I started with oatmeal and then once I got that down I got to try green beans. Those weren't my favorite to say the least but after the first day of those I gave in and ate them without looking like I was going to gag. Then I moved on to carrots which are my fav! And then apples which are ok. I'm getting good at this whole eating thing!
I spend a lot of time chilling at home with my brothers, hanging out at the pool with my brothers and mom and of course, napping ... being a baby is hard work!! I also help mommy with work for her business. I'm super helpful!
I had my 4 month checkup this month. I weighed in at 15 lbs. I was the smallest Barnhisel baby but have been packing on the weight and now I have passed up both Brandon and Kyle at their 4 month stats. I just look and take after Eric more and more every day. Dad calls Eric the "OC" (Original Cherub) and me C2 (Cherub version 2). I love Eric and have the same happy temperament as Eric.
I am still sleeping through the night but now I don't have to be tanked up at 10:00 anymore. I go to sleep between 7:00 - 8:00 and sleep until 6:00 - 7:00. I'm such a good baby! I still take a couple long naps during the day too.
I still love ceiling fans and I am getting really good at using my hands and love to latch on to whatever I can reach. I especially love to grab a handful of mommies hair! Mom got me a jumper. I have not figured out how to jump yet but I do love that it helps me stand up because I love to stand. I am finding my voice and love to talk. I also laugh out loud now which just makes everyone smile! I have learned how to roll over, both from my tummy to my back and from my back to my tummy. At first it scared me but now I don't mind it anymore.
I hope you are all doing well.
Love Sam Wade Barnhisel
