You are such a growing boy! I love your cubby thighs and cheeks. Your personality comes out more and more each day. You love to hear yourself "talk" which Mommy and Daddy think is so cute. You are getting closer and closer to rolling over completely. You have done it once at daycare but never at home. You love to grab and pull on everything. You are so strong! You still are such a happy baby and smile all the time at anyone who will show you attention.
4 month update
Size: 17.9 pounds (87 percentile)
We go to the doctor for your 4 month check-up and shots in a couple weeks.
You are currently wearing 6 month clothing but are transitioning to 9 month clothing right now. You are growing like a weed!!
Food: Still nursing. For awhile there you were eating about 20 ounces a day at daycare but the past couple weeks you are eating 14-16 ounces. I think it is because I am able to get in two feedings in the morning before heading to work. I added a pumping session at 9pm because you are not needing to nurse as much at night. This is helping me stock our freezer with extra milk.
Sleep: This has been a difficult month for sleeping. For most of this month, you starting getting up multiple times at night to nurse which resulted in Mommy getting very little sleep. There were many tears from Mommy because of the lack of sleep and frustration. It didn't help on the weeks where Daddy was out of town. You have also still been sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's room in the Pack-n-Play and had never slept in your own room. On your 4 month birthday, I was ready for a good nights sleep and was ready to let you cry it out in your own room. To my surprise you have slept GREAT in your own bed in your own room since then. You are sleeping 8-10 hours straight which has been so great for Mommy. You still go to bed between 7:00-7:30 each night. You naps have become shorter (30-45minutes) but I am okay with that if you are sleeping better at night.
Hair: Your hair continues to grow in and is brownish blonde
Eyes: Still blue with beautifully, long eyelashes.
Likes: You love to sit in Mommy or Daddy's lap.
Dislikes: Being hungry or tired.
Mommy update: Mommy got a stomach virus right after parent teacher conferences and was unable to eat or drink anything for 4 days. It was not how I wanted to spend my first long weekend with you since going back to work and was pretty upset about it. Also since I was unable to eat or drink anything my milk supply dropped significantly. I was able to nurse you while sick but was not able to pump enough milk for daycare. I had to dip into our freezer supply. It took exactly a week after I was symptom free to regain my supply. Mommy has also had a rough month juggling being a working mom. There have been many tears and feelings of guilt this month. I am looking forward to a week off in a couple weeks for Spring Break.
