Moving right along, Chance turned 4 months old yesterday! He is getting so big and he talks a lot always squealing and babbling. Here are the milestones that I copied from ivillage for four months. He is doing all of these things. He isn't rolling all over the place but he does roll over most every time I put him on the floor one way or the other. It's like he gets tired of being on his tummy so he will roll over but then when he gets tired of being on his back he won't roll back over he just cries because he wants to get up.By the end of month four a baby typically:
May sleep about six hours at night before waking (total sleep typically 14 to 17 hours)
Rolls over (usually stomach to back is first)
Sits with support
Lifts head up 90 degrees
Can follow a moving object for a 180-degree arc
Babbles and amuses self with new noises
Responds to all colors and shades
Explores objects with his mouth
Recognizes a bottle or breast
Communicates pain, fear, loneliness and discomfort through crying

Responds to a rattle or bell
Also yesterday he ate rice cereal for the first time (see pictures). I think most of it ended up on the outside of his mouth but he didn't hate it. And today he even opened his mouth a couple times when I brought the spoon toward him. He can't be getting very much of it down his throat but he is doing good and it's worth the funny factor anyway. Well, he just woke up so I will add more later.

That's so cool! Although I am jealous. :)
Chance is getting so big. Hard to believe it's already been four months.
Congrats on the new car, how exciting!! My Aunt has one and loves it! I love Chance's hair, he is too cute. Also I liked the comment about geocaching, makes me feel better to know I am not the only one who thinks about long trips being good because of it. :) I am truly obsessed though.
