We cannot believe that you are already four months old! The past four months have been so much fun and you are such a blessing in our lives.
Size: At four months old you are 14.5lbs and 25 inches long (70th percentile for height and 25th for weight). You are wearing six month clothing and size two diapers. Such a big guy!
Eating: You are still exclusively breastfed and eat 6 times per day. You nurse when you first wake up, get three bottles of pumped milk while you are at school, nurse when we get home and nurse again right before bed. Once in a while you'll wake up around 3 or 4 for a quick snack but that is going by the wayside.
Loves: You love hanging out with Mommy and Daddy for sure. You enjoy talking to us and "bouncing" on our laps. You still love to "sit up like a big boy" and enjoy any of your seats that allow you to do so (bumbo, highchair and jumperoo). You love your toy ball, being outdoors and being in the stroller looking around as well. Your most favorite place in the world right now seems to be on your GrandDad's lap. You LOVE sitting with GrandDad (and he loves sitting with you!).
You still LOVE to be held and snuggled. We don't mind at all.
Sleeping: You still take at least one larger nap during the day (2ish hours) but its not consistent with morning or afternoon. You'll take a few cat naps as well. You are primarily sleeping through the night (8- at least 6am). You had a bit of a rough adjustment to the wide open space of the crib, but you are doing great now! Such a brave little boy.
On 9/3 you rolled over! You have only done it a handful of times and you get help in order to do it. We are really working on head and neck strength and you are almost there!!
On 9/9 you stared to really belly laugh out loud. Talk about adorable.
You can lift your head 90 degrees when doing tummy time and can sit up well with assistance. You had your first trip to the orchard, first cold, and first trip to the zoo this month. You also did your first art project (finger painting at school) and got your first birthday party invite.
On your four month birthday you learned to take your binks in and out.
Random tidbits: you love watching football! We think it's the green field that keeps your attention.
You are so loved by your teachers at school which makes mommy and daddy so happy.
We are so in love with you baby boy. You certainly have our hearts. We love watching you learn new things and grow big and strong. We can't get enough of your infectious laugh and we melt when you show us your smile. We can't wait to see what new adventures your fifth month brings!
We love you to the moon and back. Happy four months little one.
