four months

Here is what Luca did during his fourth month:

- His four month stats: 15 lb 9.5 oz (51%ile), 24.75" long (31%ile), his head circumference is 44 cm (97%ile). The size of his head indicates how large his brain is :)

- He rolled over on November 9 for the first time, and he mastered rolling over both ways this month.

- Luca went to the beach for the first time when we visited family in Florida. We were so excited to see his reaction to the ocean water. The first time Lee dipped him in, Lee got a little excited and did it very quickly and poor Luca was startled and cried pretty hard. The second time, Lee did it a bit more gently and Luca seemed neutral about it. He made cute faces, but didn't cry or smile. We took daily walks on the beach and Luca napped through all of them. Wouldn't you if you were all cozy and snuggled up with the sound of crashing waves in the background? 

- He really loves sucking on his hands. I mean, he is obsessed. It's hard taking his picture because his hands are literally always clasped together and in his mouth. 

- He discovered the volume of his voice and a new grunting/gurgling voice sound. So he will randomly scream/grunt when we are least expecting it. 

- He is usually always smiling and talking. The only time he cries is if he is gassy- which isn't very often (and of course if he's tired or hungry).

- He likes to be held and snuggle a lot of the time. But he also decided this month that sometimes he needs his own space to kick and roll around and yell. 
- Luca dressed up as a redneck baby for his first Halloween.
