Mateus at 4 months old.......

Looks now less like a baby and more like a little boy
Has better head, neck, and trunk support that has allowed him to try new things (i.e. hello Exersaucer!)
Now rolls side to side in his crib and even turned himself 180 degrees one night
Has "accidentally rolled over on 3 occasions and looks surprised each time
No longer is content with just staying on his tummy during tummy time and will quickly share with you how frustrated he is when he can't roll over
Has finally noticed the cats!
Follows you with his eyes when you move about the room
Watched his first video "Petting Farm" and expressed his excitement when he saw the cats (maybe he will share Mom's favorite animal? :-)
Has endured his first cold and still smiles despite it
Has yet to let Mom have a good night's sleep (she's still hopeful that it will happen one day!)
Has made many new friends at daycare and looks at them when introduced in the mornings
Has learned the power of his legs and puts them on display both while sitting in his bouncer and while "dancing" when he is held up
Has learned to see if his sly smile will get him out of bedtime or feedings- we may be in trouble!
Continues to share his many faces and remains the main subject of our entire photo gallery.  See examples below :-)
                                             He wasn't quite so sure of the exersaucer at first

                    This shirt was Joe's from  when he was a baby.  He was known as "Spike" prior to birth.
                            Mateus was less than impressed by his visit to the home and garden show.
