Peter at 4 months old


I have been terrible at reporting on Peter's development, but I'm hoping to change that. He's starting to discover his feet and now rolls over from his front to back when the mood strikes him. He's also headed to the doctor tomorrow for his four-month checkup and I'm guessing the doctor is going to give Peter the okay for starting rice cereal!

Peter smiles at everybody and coos a ton. Charlotte loves to imitate/quote the sounds he makes -- "'Gooooooo,' says Peter!" -- but she also has this annoying habit of insisting that Peter take his hands out of his mouth whenever he's chewing on his fingers. She's such a little thumb-sucking hypocrite, but I guess this is just the start of a long childhood of bossing her poor little brother around. He loves to smack the animals hanging from the bar above his infant bouncy seat thing. If he's lucky, he gets one of them in his mouth and then he chomps on it like there's no tomorrow.

The weird thing is that he is so much fairer than me and Charlotte. Perhaps he will have Corey's coloring when he's older and has spent many more summers out under the sun, but for now he is a pale little dude. His eyes are still a very pretty blue though. His Granny Great has sworn never to buy him clothes in any other color than blue because he his eyes look ridiculously beautiful when he wears it.

Thanks for sharing. I can't believe how fast he's growing up! I'm amazed at how different he looks from Charlotte. I think he looks like a Stringer through and through! :)

He is so handsome. I can't wait until he and Zozo get married!
