Russell-Four Months already?

Yup, he's already four and a half months old actually. So this week he had his four month check up and shots (which were really sad of course!) and he's 14 1/2 pounds and 24 in long. And still a very happy baby.
His new abilities include: smiling alot, laughing at his brothers and sisters and mommy and daddy, talking to anyone who looks at him long enough, FALLING ASLEEP IN CHURCH, sleeping in a swingless swing, rolling over one time to his back and one time to his tummy, playing with toys, reaching for things with his fingers, loving to be held, loving listening to music (especially when Tyler or mommy play the piano), eating five bites of rice cereal, and regularly sleeping through the night.
He is such a gift of a baby to me. He is the first baby of ours to fall asleep while I am holding him (when I'm not nursing him). He even slept through Relief Society yesterday-the first baby of ours to sleep anytime during church after 3 months. It's so fun to hold a sleeping baby. I wouldn't have agreed with that statement with my first or second baby, but maybe I know better how to appreciate it now.
