Jumping Around

Anderson absolutely loves his jolly jumper. We can just put him in it and he at least stays in it for 30 minutes or longer, what a great invention.



We go in tomorrow for his 4 month check up and vaccinations. I am anxious to see how big he is. He seems like is growing so much. I know he is getting bigger since it is putting a huge strain on my back. Picking him up and carrying him around is absolutely killing my back. The aches and pain started in my lower back, now it has moved up my entire back. So far no pain relievers have helped. We used biofreeze last night, which is amazing, and it felt good while I was sleeping, but once I was on my feet again and lugging him around, the pain returned. I received a massage as a gift, I really need to cash in on that. I also need to check out the chiropractor by our house.

I think I was able to get him to laugh yesterday. It wasn't a full giggle or continuous laugh like we may do, but it sounded a lot different than his usual squeals of delight. Randomly he just started to laugh after I changed his diaper and I was playing with him on the changing table. I had my head down kissing his belly and he laughed. I was able to keep him going for a little bit and trying yelling for Craig to come hear, but he stopped soon after. I was no longer amusing to him. Even though he smiles a lot, for some reason we are just not that funny!

He has started to grab at absolutely everything, especially my hair. Even when I have my hair up, he finds the back of my head where the hair does not fit into the ponytail and has fun pulling it. This is not a good thing since my hair is falling out big time from postpartum hair loss. Hopefully that ends soon because hair is everywhere! He also has started putting everything into his mouth. He is really fond of this little stuffed cow. He likes to chew on the tail and butt and it gets soaked quickly. I may need to look into washing it at some point.
