I was bad about blogging on the 3 month birthday (started back at work and have never realized "free time" to do things like wash bottles, fold laundry, cook dinner or even sit down and blog is far and few between) so I've got some backtracking to do on your 4 month birthday today! You have grown so much and are developing such a personality! You are very coy and love to give the sweetest smiles and blinks to anyone you meet! You started laughing too which has made playtime so much fun! You still LOVE your bath and kick and play so much that you end up with no water at then end of your bath! We have plently of videos to prove :) Speaking of bath time, Aunt Lo Lo will turn on some music and you really react to it kicking and smiling, it's so cute and what's even funnier is that you love Reggae music, must be the hawaiian in you :) And Aunt Lo Lo, boy do you just adore your Lo. As soon as she walks in the room you light up... she can get you to laugh more than anyone and I am so lucky to have someone with you every day while I'm at work that loves you and cares for you as much as she does.

Some firsts these past months... You went to your first parade, Gasparilla kids parade which you will grow to love every year... You went to your first birthday party for your buddy James Guemple, he turned 1! You are now officially in your jumperoo and you haven't quite gotten the jumping part down but love to move and watch it light up and play music.

The biggest news and first for you is that the day before you turned 4 months old you rolled over. This was also the first day at Gymboree and you did it in front of 8 other mommies and 8 other babies so I have plenty of witnesses! All the babies were having tummy time on the mirror, singing songs and talking about "baby's firsts" whats new with each of you this week and low and behold during this time you just rolled right on over! It was so cute and everyone cheered and clapped, I cried and you were beaming with pride!

Everything is in your mouth these days from the wash cloth to my shoulder... I wonder if teething is around the corner!

Hagen, our heart is bursting at the seams with soo much love for you! You are the best baby and continue to amaze and bless us everyday! We love you so much sweet boy!

Love Love Love you!
