Daylen's 4 Month Photos

Daylen's Big Week

This week Darren and I took our first big road trip with Daylen. We went to Springfield, MO for the National Home school Tournament. I was on Spring Break, so I was able to make the trip. Thank goodness I was on spring break this week because I got to see big milestones in Daylen's life that I would have otherwise missed. First of all, Daylen began laughing out loud! He was sitting on my stomach and I started laughing when he followed my lead. He laughed when I laughed and smiled when I smiled. Secondly, he began holding up his own bottle. We have been propping his bottle up with blanket the past couple of weeks and now he is able to hold it up all by himself. Another milestone he reached was cutting his teeth. We noticed that he kept getting fussy after eating 8 oz. of formula. I noticed while he was crying that he had two white buds showing through on his bottom gum. We started giving him teething tablets which seemed to work well for him. Daylen also has been able to stand up when we pull him by his fingers. He stands straight up and looks around with a big smile on his face. My favorite milestone is that he is now able to recognize me! When I peeked out of the hotel bathroom to watch him, he would see me and give me the biggest smile. It was so sweet. I can't believe my baby boy is growing up so quickly!
