4 Months

Our little boy is 4 months old already!

You go to the doctor on October 5th so we'll see just how big you are at that point.  You've grown quite a bit since your last doctor's visit.

You are doing such a wonderful job falling asleep at night and staying asleep.  On a typical night, you fall asleep around 7:30 and sleep until about 6.  There were a few nights when you would wake up once to be fed but that was very rare.  I've found it is easier to get you to sleep now since I am able to better recognize your cues.  You absolutely adore having a snuggle blankie pressed up against your left cheek.
 

During the day you are usually awake for about an hour or two before getting tired and needing a nap.  At those times I find an activity to occupy Ethan and I'm able to quickly rock you to sleep.  We're all so lucky that you are such an easy going baby.


You eat 5 oz. every 2 hours and boy do you make it known when you are hungry.  The babysitter and I joke around that you are like an alarm clock with how punctual you are.  When it's time to eat, it's TIME.TO.EAT!


You are wearing 0-3 month clothing and size 2 diapers.

You started rolling from belly to back on a regular basis.  Although you've done it previously, you are just now at the point where you do it intentionally.  You have also gotten very good at grabbing toys and putting them in your mouth.  You love sitting in the Bumbo seat since it gives you the chance to watch things around you.

You had your first overnight visit with Mimi and Pawpaw.  You were such a good boy!  We also attended the Lunken airshow where you got to admire all the big jets.

Mommy and Daddy love you, Andrew!
