Danny at 4 Months

It's hard to believe that Danny will be 4 months old this week.

Gone are the days of the wobbly, uncontrollable head, the extra long sleeps, the newborn nappies, the startle reflex where the arms stretch out and shake for a second, the glassy-eyes that sometimes go cross-eyed as they try to focus on your face. The tiny body that you hold close that is totally dependent and yearning for your love and protection.

Now he's a little person. He smiles and talks to us (see below). He tries to sit up and will stand up if you pull him up as he grips your fingers. He loves to spend time with us and he loves to eat. He settles himself to sleep, which is either a testament to him as a laid-back baby or a result of us having to deal with two boys at bedtime.

His cheeks are chubby and firm, just begging to be kissed all day. His smile is a knockout. I love this boy with all my heart.

How lovely - he is gorgeous. I love this stage when they begin to find their voice and start joining in. How proud you and Craig must be of your two lads and rightly so Pam. Thanks for sharing that little clip. A x

It is going so fast! He is a beautiful baby.

I can't help but mention, we have the same stroller/seat - same fabric and everything. :-)

I'm sure they're laid back because the parents have more of a clue and are also more laid back! What a beaut though!

Hi Anne, As I'm about to tell you how much I love my boys Jack is currently out of his bedroom for the twentieth time, so I must go and strangle him :-)
Kelsey, Thanks for the nice words. I've used that stroller for both boys, so it's officially an heirloom
Hi Expat: I am not a total maniac this time around, though I do feel like I'm losing my mind most days
