4 months!

Banks is 4 months old.

He weighs 19.1 pounds and is happy as can be...

(as long as you keep his belly full!)

He loves:

rolling over

motor boat

his brother

rice cereal

"riding the billy goat"

sucking on his hands

his feet

and is:

laughing out loud (so hard that he gets the hickups!)

rolling over from front to back

playing well with toys

grabbing his feet

drooling and chewing on toys and hands

sleeping through the night

(as long as he is tightly swaddled! I don't know how we will ever get rid of that thing!!!)

eating rice cereal twice a day - will start veggies soon!

His brother is 2 years and 9 months.

He thinks he's 15.

Some of our favorite things/and maybe not-so-favorite things about Smith these days:

*He wants to DRIVE every time we get in the car.

*He's very polite. Says thank you, yes ma'am, yes sir.

*Loves hot pockets, chicken nuggets, french fries, and tacos. I have never seen him eat anything green, ever. The doc says that's okay. He drinks tons of "grandpa juice" (V8 Fusion) and takes his vitamins.

*Are you a terrible mom when you drive up to Walgreens drive-thru to get a prescriptions and your kid yells, "Chicken nuggets and French fries!"

*STILL doesn't sleep through the night. He is in our bed usually between 3 and 4am!!!

*Loves American Idol and shaking his booty!

*Loves all things ball. He can hit the baseball and golf ball OVER our back yard fence! He got a tennis raquet and his becoming quite the little pro at that, too!

*Loves to play "tackle" with daddy.

*Loves sticker books.

*STILL IS NOT POTTY TRAINED!!!!
