Four Months

Better late than never!  Busy right now is an understatement.
But happy.  And grateful. 

March 10- April 10

Weight- 13 lbs (10-15%ile)
Height- 25 1/2" (70-75%ile)
Clothing- 3 months, some 3-6 months
Diapers- size 1
Hair- ??? Not much left to even make a prediction!
Eyes- Very Blue
Feeding- Every 2 1/2- 3 hours, longer stretches at night
Sleeping- you wake up twice and usually go right back to sleep at night, and maybe 2-3 hours during the day
Favorites- outdoors, t.v.
Firsts- Easter, trip to the mall

Things to remember:
You have really started "talking" a lot... sometimes nicely and sometimes with attitude!  I really wish we could translate everything you are telling us!  
I keep waiting on a giggle or a laugh.  Dad and I got one good giggle when we were playing with you on the back porch, but other than that, your giggles come out as cute squeals.   
You found your feet one day this month while sitting in the Bumbo.  You reached out and grabbed them and then moved on to something else more interesting.
You are still drooling a lot and making us think that you are going to be an early teether. 
You still love the piano gym and have started swatting at the toys more than kicking this month.  
You are still smiling all the time... until we pull out the camera!
Your birthmark is about the size of a pencil eraser now.   We are in the rapid growth phase for the next several months and then it will start to slowly get smaller and fade.
 You have so much fun in the bath, splashing and kicking around little squirt toys. 
You do not just like t.v., you love it!  Dad and I are getting so tired of cartoons already... we are going to have to come up with a t.v. time plan or else you will one day want to watch it all day long.
You really enjoy outdoors, it has been unseasonably warm and we have taken you on many walks around the house and hung out on the back porch.  You won't even cry with a wet diaper if you are outside!
You have started to fight sleep during the day, so afraid to miss out on something.  I have a feeling you will hate nap time and I can't say your dad and I blame you- we hated naps too.  
You are holding your head up now with little or no support... good enough for the Jumperoo and you love it, for 10 minute stretches anyway! 
You have grown SO much this month, you now have a tummy fat roll and chubby legs.
Easter Day, pants were a little big but still so cute!
You snore! 
You are hot-natured in a major way.  We have found out that keeping you as close to naked as possible keeps you happy.  I never thought I would be a mom who let her child go barefoot... until I had a baby who hates socks & shoes!  Never say never!
I thought I was clear about this mom... "I hate shoes!"
We went to the mall and you were great, either sleeping or staring at all the colors. 
To PC- You are busted staring dreamily at all those cool Mac gadgets.  And that baby you're pushing around, he's already trying to use my MacBook. Yep, just accept :]  
 
Can't wait to see what adventures await us next month!  Love you so much sweet baby boy!

The "talking" they are starting to do at this age just cracks me up! He is SO long and skinny (same length as Stella but 1.5# lighter!). It's so fun watching him grow up. :)

Stephanie said...

Haha, oh my gosh the pictures with his sandals is adorable! He doesn't look crazy about them though, does he? Baby rolls are the best, my girl sure has enough that she could pass them on to a few other babies. I don't know how he can possibly get cuter and cuter!!

Lexi has just started "talking" a lot and I love it! Though I also wish I could translate it all.
He is adorable!
