Four months old + counting

It seems like Rowan got super strong and agile overnight!  A few weeks ago he started grabbing things and now he's pretty good at it.  There have been a few times when he got frustrated because he forgot how to let go.  :)  He can also grab his feet and he is clearly very proud of it.
Now how do I get this entire thing in my mouth??
Hey birds! Look what I can do!
Rowan's Likes: Grabbing his cage ball, raspberries on his belly, having his chin or belly tickled, "fighting" with Chewy (the bear), snuggling, chewing on his hands/bibs/burp cloths

Rowan's Dislikes: Going to bed, the car seat, being away from home
Oh, hi.  I'm just busy growing out of my 9 month clothes.
I noticed this week that Rowan's left eye is starting to turn in a lot again - it had seemed like it was getting better.  Oh well, he's still young and his vision seems good.  And he's gotten very good at following moving objects with both eyes.  He also makes good eye contact now.

Teething is probably going to be a challenge.  However, we have found some homeopathic remedies, plus we have baby Tylenol for when he's really in agony.  Rowan is also getting fairly good at self-soothing - he likes to chew on soft things like his hands, his bib, a burp cloth, or one of our hands.  Occasionally he'll go for his cold teething ring.  Distraction is often the best remedy.  Rowan likes to play with Mom & Dad:
