Fourth Month Cometh

As of August 3rd you will be four months old my son. Your growth and learning have been a subject of great amazement to myself. By this point you are holding things in your hands, such as your pacifier which you hold in your hands and admire. You also hold your toys and stuffed animals with great skill.
Your weight is up to 14 lbs and you are at the beginning stages of crawling, sitting up, and standing on your legs holding your own weight. We have a doctor's appointment established for you on August 8th and so my post on or near that date should contain a current update of that. I must also mention that your vocal abilities continuously increase as well.
I personally have finished up my summer semester at college. I am looking forward fall semester coming up with great hesitance; Only because for the next hot summer days until fall semester begins I will have a great volume of available time in which to play with you. I was holding you in my lap today as we watched icarly together. As I did this I thought to myself how I only have 18 short years in which to hold you and how they will be passing so quickly.

Sitting in a tub

So Little guy, almost the 4th month and you are now willing and able to attempt sitting up in the tub. It has become somewhat of a tradition around here that 8pm-ish is bath time for you, the entire time you have taken to water well; Just enjoying your bath time as well as you please. And now son, I might add to this account that outside the tub your doing exceptional at training your balance and fine finger skills. Your speech is ever trying to come out in words, but coming out in sounds at any rate, a plenty. I would say with only a few more attempts of sitting in the tub and your strength and agility will be substantial enough that the largest part of the bath will be in a sitting up position. It is, it truly is the simpler things in life that you really need to count most precious; Such is the way your child learns little things along their version of life's journey!

Television Shows

Television shows are in the world, and so son, you are going to be exposed to them. On this note I must say that there is a lot of crappy television programming out there, so guard yourself well from this tragic epidemic. Granted, there is also a large amount of television material that is resourceful, tasteful, and well constructed like a fine book crafted with some great moral at the end of the story. I am going to do something slightly different with this post and ask that anyone who has came across it and read it would you please add to my little list which I hereby develop within this blog post.

I would also interject here that it is important to monitor what your little ones are watching. Some content is certainly not for youthful eyes. Perhaps around the age of 13 slightly more mature content may be added to a young persons viewing library.

Here, I am going to construct a list of Television Shows, Movies, or Animations in which I endorse. And by endorsing them I am stating that in my opinion there is at least some little piece of content to this that proves to be valuable to the preservation of ideals to future generations.

"Short Circuit" 1980's Film
"E.T." 1980's Film
"Veggie Tale's" Recent Animation Series
"Sid The Science Kid"
"Bill Nye the Science Guy"
"John Adams" HBO series film
"Annie" Musical



Okay guys so this list will surely increase as time passes and certain viewing gems cross my mental recollection. Until then post some of your favorite television classics that you feel possess noteworthy quality.

Grand Parents

I respect my grandparents very much so with all endearment intended! My son, I would volunteer to you to respect your grand lineage with all fear and reverence. My grandfather offered me large sums of wisdom's advice. I would urge your kin to seek out she who is wisdom.

Summer Fun

There are a few things to keep in mind when discussing fun in the summer months. Firstly, sunscreen is a very important tool, especially for young children who have the tendency to play in the sun for long hours without taking notice to the effect it is having on their skin. Next there is taking into consideration a few things regarding swimming. It is not wise to go swimming immediately after having eaten because it becomes possible to experience cramps. Having cramps while swimming can be fatal, especially at times when swimming not in a pool but instead swimming in the ocean or a river. In order to avoid cramping it is best to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before swimming. Water consumption is a vital thing to monitor in summer heat because a heat stroke is no laughing matter. The average person should consume at least 8 glasses of water per day, however when the heat index is highly elevated this requirement could easily increase greatly. Keeping safety tips on your mind during your summer activities is an important preventative step towards keeping your fun from being shortened by a trip to the emergency room. Being safe does not have to keep you from enjoying your summer fun.

Nintendo

There was a time in my youth when the Nintendo Entertainment System was of the cutting edge 8-bit graphics gaming consoles. As time progressed in my lifetime I have seen and played many various platforms Nintendo created. As I reached adulthood the Nintendo system had matured along with me. Now as a man I have the Nintendo Wii. It is a great device taking the place of VCR, DVD player, HBO, and various other formats an old geezer from back in my day would remember. The joke now is, "Those round vinyl things they use to put music on", in reference to Records or LP's. You may have to Google the origins of the American and British recording studios in order to gain greater understanding of the early effects that technology had on music and the music industry.

The Nintendo Wii however has capitalized on the ability to mass produce movie views on people's television sets. My Wii is plugged into the TV already so why not stream what ever video I could care to watch via my Wii with Netflix....
