Happy 4 Months, Ashton!! We love you so much!!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Tyler
Can you believe another month has passed??!! My baby is growing up soo quickly!! Ashton loves to be held, but not too much. He also loves to play in his exersaucer, lay in his crib before bedtime after his bottle and watch his mobile, be out and about (he HATES being cooped up in the house all day -- just like his Mommma ;) ), he loves when you sing to him, he loves to talk, and well, he is just a happy and VERY easy baby!!
We go on Tuesday afternoon to his 4 month check up. I will update his stats then.
What is Ashton doing at 4 months?
Researchers believe that your baby can now understand all the basic sounds that make up his native language. Between this time and 6 months of age, he'll develop the ability to make some of these sounds, which means you may hear the words you've been dreaming about, namely "mama" and "dada." While child development experts say it's too early for your baby to connect those sounds with you, that won't make hearing them any less exciting.
You can encourage your baby's attempts at communication by mirroring or imitating his expressions and sounds. He may try to imitate you, too. Say "ba" and he may try to say it back.
Reacting when your baby makes noises or tries to say something will help him learn the importance of language and better understand cause and effect. It's great for his self-esteem, too: He'll begin to realize that what he says makes a difference.
