4 months old

Our little Nate is already 4 months old. Time really does fly when you're having fun! We've had so much fun being a family of four and think Nate is the perfect addition. It's amazing to see how much he has grown and learned in such a short amount of time. He is already rolling from back to belly and belly to back. He has great head control when being held and also while on his stomach. He smiles as soon as he makes eye contact with anyone. He lives for any attention he can get from anybody. He is also very vocal. I always think he's going to say something because some of his sounds sound like the beginning of a word. He is laughing like crazy and makes this cute squealing noise that I can't get enough of. Nate loves his exersaucer. He is now touching everything and realizing it is all there for his enjoyment. Nate is also grabbing everything within his reach. If I'm on the phone and holding him, he grabs it sometimes hanging up on whoever is on the other line. If I'm holding him while writing the grocery list, he grabs the pen from me also. He has a death grip too. He pinches mine and Jay's neck as well as pulls hair. Ouch! It hurts! Nate is also working on sitting up. He can only sit on his own for a few seconds before losing balance but he works so hard to stay upright as long as he can.
Unfortunately, we have gone a little backwards with his sleep schedule. He used to take a 7 hour stretch but it has since been shortened to 5. His pediatrician says this could be due to a slight case of eczema. It is so sad to see his little creases red and dry and to know that he is uncomfortable but now that we know what it is, we are taking care of it and he seems so much happier.
Nate's tear duct is still blocked but making so much improvement. He used to wake up with so much crust in his eye that sometimes it would be glued shut. This hasn't happened in at least a month so we are definitely making progress.
Nate's growth has slowed quite a bit since his last checkup two months ago.
