Holy Moly - four months! This year is going by at lightening speed! Here are some new things about our little man at four months old:
Eating: He is eating more at each feeding - 4 to 5 oz. He eats every few hours in the day and wakes up once in the night. The past few nights he has woken up twice. I think it may be due to teething (which has been miserable) or a growth spurt, or perhaps a combination of the two. I am still pumping and he is getting only breast milk. I don't know how long it will last, but he's doing great and so far it hasn't been too crazy trying to find time to pump (just a little).
Teeth - speaking of teething...he has been drooling non stop and is constantly chewing on his hands. No sign of a little pearly white poking through yet but I imagine in the next couple of months we will start to see some teeth.
Size: Since he turned four months old the day after Christmas, we won't go to the pediatrician until next week. He is still in size 1 diapers and wears mostly 3 month clothes with some 6 month stuff. He is really filling out and has the cutest little rolls on his legs.
He has found his feet thing month and loves holding them. He has also found some other parts of his body and loves holding that as well...he's definitely a boy! He still loves the bath and we have discovered he also loves the doorway jumper thing. He hates his car seat, but other than that he is a pretty good sport and likes most things.
I think that one thing that almost everyone says about him is that he is a good sport. I think he will hear that a lot in his childhood. He is often napping on the go since his sisters have so much going on, he sleeps through chaos, he is usually wearing a crown or tutu or whatever else the girls can get on him, and he just smiles through it all. He is a good sport - he goes with the flow and hardly ever cries unless he is wet (from drool or because he needs a new diaper) or hungry. Lately we have had some crying because of teething but it doesn't last too long. He is just such a good sport and puts up with all of us!
He is a pretty easy baby and I am loving having a little baby to love on. I keep saying that I need more babies!! Babies are my favorite and he is such a good one that he makes me want more...although they grow up and turn into toddlers which isn't always so easy so maybe we don't need any more...But seriously, he is such a joy and so easy to take care of. He is content just to quietly sit and watch what is going on.
Happy four months little man!! You are the most wonderful little boy in the whole world and I am so happy that I get to be your mommy. I love you sweet boy!!
