4 Months already?

Well, it has been a while.  My two little boys keep me busy and I am finally getting them into a routine that lets me have an hour during nap time usually to myself.  Having a 2 yr old and a newborn has had its challenges, but I sincerely hope Jet and Dash are great friends and playmates in a few months.  Jet is dying for a playmate. He always wants me to wrestle with him or play 'football' and I don't always have the energy to do that.
       Since Dash's birth a few things have happened:
                      James was called to be 1st counselor in the Bishopric
                      We flew to Oklahoma for Christmas
                      Had our first date night in a while without the kids
                      Joined a gym
 My day to day is usually something different.  I try to get out of the house a few times a week to take the boys to story time or get myself to the gym, or to the store.

Dash recently turned 4 months.  He is such a joy! I know now after having Jet that the little baby I bring home from the hospital doesn't stay that way long and to really savor each phase and moment.  I am really enjoying Dash.  Here are some things he has been up to lately:

Loves to be sung to
Loves to be held
Reaches for everything and anything
Loves the dog and his brother
Is a momma's boy
Loves to chomp on his hands (he gets his whole body into it)
Can play on his tummy
Almost rolls over from back to front
Wears 3-6 month or 6 month clothes
Sleeps 10 hrs at night with one middle of the night feeding
 3 or 4 naps (usually an hour each) during the day
More of a squealer than a laugher
Seems like his tongue doesn't fit in his mouth :) (see pic below)
Has not been sick! (With all the stuff going around this winter and a 2 yr old that has had a couple of colds, I attribute it all to breastmilk!)
Exclusively breastfed!

Just went to the doctor today and here are his 4 month stats:

                   15.7 lbs     64%tile
                   26.75 inch long    95%tile
                   16.9 inch head   68%tile
