4 months +2 weeks

Our little man is getting so big.
I feel like I say that at the beginning of every post, but it's true.
Uncle Cory came for a visit yesterday, and when we snuck into the bedroom to peek at Bence (sleeping in his crib) Cory was flabbergasted.
And then he said Bence's head was the size of a cantaloupe.

Right now Bence loves the following:

Laying under his play gym
Listening to mommy sing songs like "old McBence had a farm," and " twinkle twinkle little star."
Smearing rice cereal in his ears and all over his porky little belly
Warm Bottles
Games like "This little piggy" and "mommy/daddy's going to get you!"
Cuddling
Checking out every little thing within his range of vision during church and runs to wal-mart
Smiling
Sleeping on a giant mound of pillows
Laying on his tummy (only for a minute or two)
Playing with daddy
Taking naps in the rocking chair
Standing up

He really hates:
Waking up before he's good and ready
When mommy can't make a bottle fast enough
Laying on his belly more than a minute or two
When he can't move ( i.e. when I'm putting his arms through the sleeves of his shirt)
Naps (until he calms down and then he likes them)
When mommy isn't visible or leaves the room
When any of his desires are left unanswered for more than a split second
Being buckled into his car seat
When he doesn't have your complete and undivided attention
Being set down when he's already cranky

Bence is such a sweet little boy and has turned into such a charmer. Unless he's hungry and/or tired he almost always has an adorable, toothless grin on his chubby face. He laughs audibly and has continued his habit of being very vocal. He loves to squeal (and scream) when he gets really riled up (usually after daddy has wound him up in he evenings) and he has a super spunky little personality. He knows what he wants and lets you know about it right away.

His stats from his 4 month doctors appointment (2 weeks ago):
86th percentile for weight --> (he was only in the 50th per. at his 2 month appt.)
84th percentile head circumference
25th percentile for length -->(he was only in the 10th per. at his 2 month appt.)

Everyone says it, but I'm pretty sure my baby is the brightest, cutest, sweetest most adorable little man in the history of little men. i want to include real pictures from my actual camera (i have a bunch) but it will have to wait until my next post- here are a few we've taken recently.
