At 4 months Hayden is so vocal. He talks to us all the time and loves it when we talk to him. Sometimes he stares at us until we notice and talk to him. He giggles and squeals, it's so cute to see him discovering his voice. He grabs everything now including my hair and earrings. He loves it when we read stories to him. We have tried to make this part of his bedtime routine now. He has licked things and put everything he can in his mouth for a while now, but lately he sticks his tongue out and just leaves it out like he's discovering that he has a tongue. Lately he has been noticing his hands. He holds them out in front of him and stares at them. He loves sucking on his hands and occasionally he finds and sucks on just his thumb. Sometimes he sticks his whole hand in his mouth and gags himself. He is starting to arch his back and slides out of things so we buckle him into all of his chairs now! He loves playing peek-a-boo and likes it when we sing to him or play patty cake. He is such a good, calm, sweet baby. We can't imagine what life would be like without him!
