"I would like to be remembered, well . . . the Mexicans have a phrase, "Feo fuerte y formal". Which means he was ugly, strong and had dignity."- John Wayne

January 15, 2011: Duke has a sense of humor finally. Last weekend his ticklish spot was found and exploited, making him laugh like crazy. Since then he has been cracking smiles more. His smile is like a little treasure when you see it you just stare and smile as big as you can. He has also gotten a snarl, which he uses to let you know he is about to throw a fit.

     Duke loves spending time just kicking it. He reacts to music and likes to catch his football rattle.

     He is such a good baby I can't handle it! He just moves like crazy and is getting to be better with his rolling. Side to back is never a problem and he is going back to belly more frequently. We tried him in a swing, which he did fine with for about 10 minutes.....then was done quickly. He likes his lamb chair  and when the vibrations stop he has the funnies face (he's like "What... what happened? Why did it stop?").

     Duke is 4 months tomorrow. He is still not even 3 months gestationally, but he is in 3 month old clothes, he is doing better with keeping his head up, he is super alert, and is up to 3 1/2 ounces for his feeds. He is fairly consistant with sleeping from 9pm-5am (which I appreciate). The only thing he is missing that a 4 month old will do is batting at his mobiles (he stares at them and talks to them, but he's not batting at them yet....though he does kick up a lot). They say babies also start to show preferance, but Duke has been showing his preferance for adults....his PopRock. When my dad enters a room his head goes right for his voice, it's giving Grammy a complex.
