Date manipulation question

I need to do some date manipulation in Apex, as follows. I need to take today's date, get the 1st day of the  month (so for today, 9/1/20), and I need to return 4 months from that date (in this case, 1/1/21). 
So:
1. Get the first of THIS month
2. Get that date  + 4 months

Is there a way to do this with apex?
